They've got good heads on their shoulders.

Wee, my heads finally arrived.

Tragically, the sun is gone and the lighting in here is terrible, so the pics are worse than usual.


First up, the assembled piper. I did the blowpipe with GS, and I think it turned out alright.

The heavy bolter squad is almost done. I'm still not sure what to do for the base on No. 1 Gun, as using only sandbags with need a lot GS. I think I'll have a root 'round the bitz box and see if I can turn up something.

No. 2 Gun, with the gunner yelling at the loader to hurry up and load.

The sandbags I made to complete their makeshift cover.

And No. 3 Gun, with a much more relaxed loader having a cuppa after filling sandbags.

Finally, I started working on Green/C. I'm posing them as though they're hurring across the field, while the meltagunner and a couple others pause to provide covering fire. To this end, I reposed a bunch of legs based on the awesome Drogan 22nd Voltigeurs over on the Boot Camp by Digits. They mostly turned out well, though one or two could be better. Ah, well, I'll know better next time.

  1. I ordered some Pig Iron heads and some Secret Weapon Miniatures bases now. Of course I haven't painted much but the view finder on my camera has died so no real pictures...

    I should be studying. Tomorrow is another day, but it has been a long time since I had a clean painting table I got just over a half dozen models on it that I plan to chip away at over the next three months. But I've got big plans, two new 1500 point lists... We'll see what the new year brings...

  2. I can't believe how long its been since I commented here! You've done some great work since my last visit mate, I'm loving that bag-pipe in particular. I'm looking forward to seeing more :)

  3. Love the heads mate. I've started using westwind heads about a year ago, and still have 40+ models to convert. I wish I had started using them when I started my army..

    Keep up the good work they're looking better and better!!!

  4. Looking good, the heads really add to that WWI feel. I'm really regretting not getting alternative heads when I started my army.
