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.

Here's my so far one and only Valkyrie! The pilot is Captain Miya Lu of Damascus squadron; its the 24th aircraft of 450th Cadian Fighter Wing Air Corps. First of its the base its standing on:

Here you get the actual craft, Im really satisfied with the results but like all first time models, it ends up with some minor mistakes (the cock-pit for example):

Here you can see how many failed missions ending up with huge losses on the left side. The back shows much of what the craft belongs to:

Here you can see the kill-count (actually its supposed to be more but you all understand. Also you can see the painted kick ass wings I got there (they were a true pain in the ass):

As an small update, sorry for my absence. Been occupied with starting the new semester at the university and painting have gone into the background. My other thread have been updated with some Chaos Marines.

My storm-troopers have been finished and as well a speacial weapons team consisting of 3 guys with lasguns and 2 with snipers and the last with a plasma-gun, will take pics when I get the chance. Also I got 3 new tanks on the way.

Well here's finally a update, first off it is the Special Weapons Squad, belonging to 1st platoon. They arent in the picture despicting complete 1st platoon because they weren't completed until long after that shot was taken. But enjoy:

These will probably be the last infantry I will make of the Imperial Guard. What I cant decice fluffwise, is if these should be Elysian storm-troops under the command of Gerek Leweter; Elysian 101st "Black Screaming Eagles", a.k.a Cards of Clubs or some Inquisitorial storm-troopers under the command of Inquisitor Ryver Styx. Enjoy:

I love the guys half submerged in the swamp. Very clever idea. Would love to see a full army shot. It should be huge. Most impressive force so far.

Well I think that shouldnt be too much of a problem to do!

k: I'm just gonna finish the last 3 tanks (yep got 5 of them) then I'll make the entire army shot. :biggrin: Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, I figured either those extra space stomach-parts would lie in a box and collect dust or I could do something fun about them. The only sad thing is the sniper part. I would have loved to use them in more of my squads instead of a flame-thrower (boring and over-used IMO).

But I think the sniper parts are defect, meaning they arent created properly. When I tried to fit them together, they wouldnt fit and I had to use green stuff (which you shouldnt be fored to do). The same applied for the plasma-gun and metla-gun. You have to excuse my english, I hope you understood what I meant. XD

Finally after much work, here comes the pictures! First out we have Leman Russ Tank Joker 01, commander Major Fritzwald Bornewalk. Veteran within the regiment and most likely successor in the event of death of their current commander. To be quite honest Im not sure when he lost his arm. Have to re-read my fan fic. As you might have noticed on my platoon commanders, some have different colours. The sad part is I didnt create a system of which colour representing which rank, but I think it creates variety. This tank is marked with yellow.

Edit: Also on some images you can see his icon which is not attached due to transport precautions. And 2 more tanks coming up.

Why thank you! 2 tanks are on their way.

Meanwhile I can flesh out with some random fill-out pictures Ive taken. These are on the armies I collect and as well my working station where I paint. If you see anything you want more up closer, I could try and arrange that.

Many happy returns Forkmaster, I hope life in the Guard is treating you well! Good to see another IG blog. I like the Aquila on your vendetta, how did you do that, freehand, stencil?
I did one on mine which came out ok, take a look at my PLOG if interested.

Why thank you and to be completely honest, Im exploring the depths of chaos right now, creating my CSM-army.

Ive been following your thread for quite some time now, ditto on the IG blog. Im not what to call it, I cut out the markings I got from Forge world, sprayed the Valkyrie (which I think you meant right?) white then I taped the paper I printed out, and lay them on the wings. Then I carefully painted green on the sides.

Its not the best explanation but the best I could give. ^^ And its some nice work youve done there yourself.

Oh man, I haven't updated this project in over a year now pretty much. This must have been just some week or so before moving into the big city. Anyhow, this will be the 2nd last update for this army, which is my 4th Leman Russ tank. The 5th and final piece to this army is currently waiting for being sprayed and painted. My Emperor's Children took over most of my time, and in between that I bought and started colleting Iron Warriors + a squad of World Eaters, sold all my fantasy, Tau, Tyranids and LotRs-products. Anyhow, if you want more recent updates, follow my other WIP-threads or check out my army section. This tank is the 2nd in command, as can be seen on the number and the red stripe. So enjoy:

Now here comes the final parts of Major Fritzwald Bornewalkz of 11th company. I can gladly say the army is complete and this project is over. My final things to get done are now.
- Set up an army showcase with points and information.
- Take photos of the entire army.

But first here is Leman Russ tank Joker 07:

Then the entire company (minus the Sentinels):

Edit: Also I saw this the other day. Holy s**t that is not a low number anymore on my 3 oldest project logs. As this project is coming to an end, just like my Emperor's Children-thread, it is sad to see them go. This thread was created a little over 2 years ago (a few days give i or take), but I started collecting this Imperial Guard army back in the spring of 2009, and I can watch back and see how my painting technique has improve somewhat very much over theese 3-4 years. Its cool to see how you develop still. I wanted to thank everyone just.

So today is not just any day but it is my birthday!!! So happy me! To celebrate this I think I will get around to order Fear to Tread, and perhaps look into either getting more Raptors, Terminators or perhaps a Dread for my Night Lords! I don't know just yet.

Also I showed ADB, the author behind the characters my Night Lords project is based upon and he look enthusiastic about as can be seen here. I got no pictures at the moment, still working on my slog of regular Astartes. I got 8 soon to be finished at least and working on them.

Otherwise I will get around and post some new pictures for this project, the entire army, before I consider this project ended.

So here it comes, the absolute final update: My army overview! This is the entire Cadian 443rd Regiment, 4th & 11th companies. It has been great 4 years building it and it most suited that upon my birthday I completed it by this. My final act before completely moving on, its to make an army showcase. Not something I will take on today as the massive amount of information about this is almost too much.
