Drop Troops

 

These troops are actually 3D printed. I bought these from Temu and they were around a tenner for the lot (with another deal going on).

They were very much worth the money and I think they fit in very well with the Imperial Guard theme. 

Space Marine Fleet

 I recently sold some Oldhammer stuff on eBay and used some of the proceeds to purchase a 3D printed Space Marine Fleet for Battlefleet Gothic.

These are some early painting shots

I bought 32mm MDF bases from my favourite supplier on eBay and some 3mm acrylic rods from Amazon for a few quid. It worked out quite easy to build the bases with the magnets I already had. The real hardship was trying to get the tiny magnets to glue onto the rod and not my fingers!

These are to be painted up in the same scheme as my Dust Wolves Space Marines.

Tanks! (a lot)

 I have a fair few Imperial Guard tanks. There are a lot more Leman Russ' not pictured here.

These Chimeras were originally painted over 25 years ago! I dug them out to give them some touch ups, some washes and shading and some mud effects.

The 'Leman Russ' above is a Temu version (literally) and was excellent value for money and I think fits in just fine.

I finally glued down the metal Hellhound bits and put it together (although the Basilisk still slides out for ease of storage).

I actually put some decals (original ones!) on all the tanks for the first time as well.

Legion(ish) of the Damned

 These were actually excellent resin models bought online for a very good price.

They were excellent value for money and much more in line with the new Primaris size and style. 

Combat Patrol - Chaos

 Normally I am not interested in having a Chaos army of any stripe, but with this offering from the Combat Patrol magazine I decided to keep hold of them and paint them up.

There is also a Terminator squad

Combat Patrol - Eldar

Also as part of the Combat Patrol magazine is this little set of Eldar.

This is made up of a Guardian Squad with a Farseer, 

some Jetbikes,

some Wraithguard, 

and a Wraithlord.

The Harlequins are NOT part of the magazine offer, I picked them up as a treat for myself when on holiday.

Combat Patrol - Orks

 Now normally I would not buy or play Orks at all, however this little lot came with the Combat Patrol magazine and to be fair, I did enjoy painting them up.

A pretty simple scheme to distinguish between the 'boyz'... one yellow on top and blue on bottom and the other blue on top and yellow on bottom.

The boss was a good model to paint up and gave me a chance to try something different.

The scenery in the background actually came dirt cheap from Temu.
