Sniper vet

A small side project, one Yukoni sniper veteran. I built him initially as a one-off for a competition, but I think he just became the prototype for what my vets are going to look like...

Behold, a legal army!

The last three members of the D Company Command Squad, the piper and two bodyguards, which means...



HQ and two Troops! Huzzah! Legal army! Fiiiiinally.

Goodbye, my lady.

This weekend I lost my best friend of six years, Emma, so it seems oddly appropriate that I post this now, since she was Dog Company's namesake and mascot.



There's the first half of the Company Command Squad, with, from left to right, the Company Sergeant-Major, the company 2IC (whose name escapes me at the moment), the Company Standard (bearing Emma's likeness and some very bad Latin saying "Bark and Bite"), and a Guardsman. Still to come are the company piper and the two Highlander bodyguards, but and this is the part I could use some suggestions on, I don't know what tartan to paint them in. For the Platoon Command Squads I used the base colour of the platoon, but I'm not sure what to use for the Company Command Squad...

One year later, finally did something

Well, it's been almost exactly a year since my last update, and I finally got around to doing more work on the Yukoni, after a round of intensive spring cleaning made my workspace usable again and got the juices flowing. Not to mention the shaming/nagging from Muskie...

First up, I finished Green Platoon's heavy weps squad, which means I have completed my Troops choices, at least for 1250 points. Two full, massive platoons! Huzzah!







Finally, one of my main stumbling blocks was the Colossi. I couldn't figure out how to do the actually mechanism, so I decided just to "cheat" and build an enclosed cab. It's still pretty rough, but it's my first scratch tank conversion of this scale...




Next, I'm going to paint the Company Command. ONWARDS!
