MinoanFresco Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Hello B&C community! I've been sitting on this great idea for a proper foot-slogger army for the last few years, but I lacked the time, money and space to make it a reality. Only, HARK! There be a change in the wind, says I!! For the last year or so, I've been collecting and building and now I've started the painting process! Mind you, there are still tons of minis to collect, convert, build and paint, but I look forward to the process, and I hope you do, too. In fact I consider the hobby a way to carve out my own little corner of the 41st millennium. Just for me and my little troops. Thinking about adding more detail to help break up the mustard-blah, but this is the color scheme I have in mind for the force. And beyond, there's a far, gray country. Thoughts? ~MinoanFresco Edited October 13, 2019 by MinoanFresco Warhead01, WarriorFish, Dr_Ruminahui and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolgrim DeathHowl Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Nicely done, looking forward to seeing more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Looks like you have your foot horde! :lol: The colours are good, I think maybe some black could be what you need to break up the yellow? Perhaps on the sashes/straps? Keep us updated on your progress :tu: MinoanFresco 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Beautiful stuff. I love the look of historical miniatures used as IG regiments. I've been tempted for some time to use Revolutionary War minis to make an IG regiment but never pulled the trigger.

There's a TON of minis out there for that sort of thing. So, really, you're spoiled for options and a lot of minis are dirt cheap when compared to GW prices. But (and this is a big but) you'll have to do ton of converting. Works out for me, though, since I love that sorta thing. ~MinoanFresco librisrouge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordian Glory Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Ah a man after my own heart! I too am infantry guard enthusiast. Foot guard is a ton of work but the pay off is huge. Not only do you get an amazing looking army that will draw lots of nice commentsround the gaming table, but also it is surprisingly effective and competitive :) It looks like you have put a lot of leg work into the army already, I am really looking forward to seeing this project come together. What regiment are you planning on running them as? MinoanFresco 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What regiment are you planning on running them as? Thanks Mordian Glory! I run them as my own regiment that uses the Heirloom Weapons Regimental Doctrine. Love that +6" on las, plas, snipers and mortars. I still have a lottttt of minis to build; let alone paint. But I'm making some headway. :) To Build: 16 normal dudes To Build/Convert: 8 meltaguns 11 flamers 28 snipers 30 crusaders 5 earthshaker batteries (already built one, which you can see in the picture above) and 6 ogryn ammo loaders (mmmmaybe.) To Paint: Yeahhhh, pretty much everything... More pictures soon? ~MinoanFresco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Good job. Is that a 1st Edition Sentinel? MinoanFresco and walter h 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Good to see you back and still working, the work you did on the pilot turned out great so looking forward to seeing the whole squad :tu: MinoanFresco 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinoanFresco Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Good job. Is that a 1st Edition Sentinel? Bonjour Bjorn! No, it is a 2nd edition. The 1st edition sentinels appear to be worth their weight in gold. The legs are far more skinny and the pilot is little more than a head popping out of the sentinel body. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Generally I think the older sentinels are a bit too goofy in the current aesthetic of 40k However in this instance they really work well with your theme and look ace :tu: walter h and MinoanFresco 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroitchi Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 ah this takes me back. great work MinoanFresco 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'm Heckus Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I miss the old assault cannon sentinel days. Anyway, your army is coming nicely. Nice unique theme/feel. MinoanFresco 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinoanFresco Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Scout sentinel squadron complete! Plenty more painting to be done, but achieving little victories here and there! All of my machinery/weaponry/artillery will be painted with this sort of grimy, bony white. Speaking of, I also painted all of my heavy mortars. Now I just need to a-finish my artillerymen and artillery officers! (There's a lot of those) Then there's the Earthshaker batteries and mortar teams and that will be alllllllllllllll the arty in my army. (for now)..... :) Ldorte, The Ergonomic Enginseer, duz_ and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
