Well finally I got some pictures uploaded. I will try as systematically upload and broadcast them in this thread. :grin: Opinions are welcome but can say already now 1) Yes they arent perfect but isnt much I can do 2) I did my best 3) Just like cameras add several pounds, this seems to add (point out) the flaws with my models twice as much in comparison to the IRL stuff.

Currently up to 46% for the HQ part on photobucket so be patient. :victory:

Edited: Pictures are up right now and more are coming. BTW this is only 4th infantry company and 12th armored company so you know. I dont got the exact points but there is 4 platoons (2-3 squad in each + platoon command, 3 heavy weapons squads), 5 tanks, 4 Sentinels and more.

The history of the 443rd Intantry Regiment. (Its fluff)

Army-list:

HQ:

Company command squad; Captain with laspistol and chainsword, standardsbearer with chainsword, veteran with meltagun and medic.

Special character: Commissar Yarrick.

Regimental Advisors; Master of Ordnance, Astropath, Officer of the fleet and 2 lifeguards.

Elites:

1 Kasrkin squad; 10-man squad, 1 Sergeant, 1 with flamer and 1 with grenade-launcher.

1 storm-trooper squad; 6-man squad, 1 Sergeant and 1 with flamer.

Updating, more from 1st platoon. This is squad 144. Fluffvise there's no special characters here. They got a sniper for special weapons and rocket launcher team on foot for heavy weapons choice.

And the squad 317 of 1st platoon. They got plasma-gunner and in the 4th picture from the bottom youll see a guy with some metal lens covering his right eye (from the command pack).

Hmm I think I might start a log myself, Ive recently started painting up my guard army so it should be a perfect time to start
And awesome paint jobs, I especially like the regimental advisers

Thanks you, Im particularly proud over them myself. ^^

Here comes 2nd platoon! Fluffvise there's no characters named as of yet. To be honest the models in this platoon are among the earliest I bought (some as old as 4-5 years, when I wasnt the best painter). Some are cool but 606 squad is a high disappointment.

Platoon command squad:

Squad 501, Ive tried to make the sleves and shoulder thingys on the uniforms in different colors depending on what rank they are. Blue is among the lowest:

army looks like it's coming together nicely, sir.

I like it, everything looks good. Though one thing that strikes me is the wash. On the cloth and faces, it looks like chesnut ink and just stands out a bit much, I would try highlighting more if you like washes then mix them with water, cause its just too dark I think. Otherwise its looking pretty good.

Yeah a few of the models (or kinda majority of them) are painted pre-washes period, so they will be like you said, standing out a bit too much. I'll keep it in mind for future models however.

I envy anyone who can paint Skin in any way.

Well done.

Continuing with the last 3 squads of 2nd platoon, beginning with squad 541:

Heres comes the cursed squad 609, the Sergeant (which is a officers model but I consider him just a Sergeant) is pretty much the only thing Im saticefied about since I strip-painted him and repainted him over again.

These 5 are fill-outs from a starter-package consisting of 5 Guardsmen. You can individualize them as they come in one way. All you can do is glue them to the base and their weapons.

And last the heavy weapons attached to 2nd platoon, coming in with mortars. Those Im actually proud of.

This is a nicely painted army. I bet it looks good lined up all ready to get shot up and dish it out a bit. I really like the face on your master of ordnance. The gold trim on your dudes is done really well too.

Its really not that difficult. I just give skin a basecoat of brown, usually bestial brown, then dwarf flesh over that, and drybrush of elf flesh. And for my paler men I use brown, then kahaki over that then a drybrush mix of kahaki and skull white. Also the sepia foundation wash is really good mixed with some water.

Now eyes are a real bugger, I either get a good black pupil, or I either cock it up or give them 2 lazy eyes XD

Oh I dont even try to make eyes anymore! I did when I was younger, but it they looked really weird then. So I thought "hey screw that. I'll make them without eyes."

hahaha yeah you really need a steady hand for eyes, that or a magnifing glass. I dont know how some people can do an eye, iris and pupil perfectly!

Here comes the start of 3rd platoon, fluffvise the platoon leader is Sergeant Jagat, one of the few Sergeants to lead a platoon and as a person hes supposed to be a ruthless bastard (however the model doesnt picture that well enough Im afraid).

Here you can see him up close with his power fist. His Vox-trooper is called Carrvil, whose also his adjutant. The standard-bearer is called Artemus Phoebus.

First squad is 190, no known people by name there.

This is squad 265, lead by Corporal Donnie Teffer. He's as ruthless as Jagat and one of his more personal closer friends in 3rd platoon:

Squad 450 doesnt have any named characters:

Now here comes 4th platoon, my favorite both in models but also fluffwise. Its lead by Lieutenant Axel von D'portier. His Vox-Trooper is called Terraw. The flamer is called Trooper Myron and the crouching one is called Trooper Nollan, "the lucky and unlucky bastard" respectivily. The standard-bearer is called Melvin Colossus [025.M.42].

Squad 812, they share the numbers as each heavy weapon does, but I ran out of blister to put on the shoulders so I had to reuse some.

Heres squad 005, they share the same as the Kasrkins but the reasons as above.

Time for some updating, Ive been lazy lately!

My first 2 tanks (I got another 3 on the way), this is Joker 05 (its designation) of 11th company:

Joker 16. None of these have any special characters driving them (one of the other 3 will have Major Fritzwald Bornewalk of 11th company):

This is Sentinel squad Royal Straight Flush, leader is 1st Lieutenant Lecard du Bois:

This is Sentinel squad Straight Flush, leader is 2nd Lieutenant Narciss. This the first Sentinel I got when I was like 14, Ive repainted it several times, changed things on so thats why its pretty messed up in my own opinion:
