JeremyM, Imperial Guard Weapons Teams, Sentinels (200 points)

 Hi All,

Been busy these past few weeks with life, but I've still managed to plug away at a few things. That being said work has been a bit insane so I picked something more tried and true rather than anything that involved brain cells like selecting colours. So I've added to my Imperial Guard collection from a previous post.

I painted 4 sentinels, and two weapons teams groups. They are all painted with my blue-grey and khaki colour scheme, in the fluff they are called the Vresh Grenadiers. 

The Sentinels are 3d prints as are their bases. I also printed a variety of weapons for them and magnetized everything. We tend to play Grim Dark Future by One Page Rules https://onepagerules.com/  rather than 40k in my goup. Its a far simpler system and is just as much fun (we think more fun!) and has just as much theme and its free! The sentinels in that game have a wide weapons loadout range so magnets allow some experimentation. Each of the 4 has a lascannon, an autocannon, a plasma cannon, a laser machinegun, and a little missile. I'm looking for a couple more options to print to add to this but am weighing my options. The sentinels were primarily airbrushed as I tried something approaching an urban camo scheme with my blue-grey colours. I'm happy with it and curious to see it on something a bit bigger.

I next added a group of three lascannon weapons teams to my army. They are also 3d printed as are the bricks on their base (which was likely more of a pain to do in resin than just scratch building them myself but hey experimentation with my new 3d printer toy is worth it).

And here is a group of 3 mortar weapons teams, again 3d printed with more 3d printed bricks. I saw online on reddit a fellow who had crafted a just fired mortar for his imperial guard and replicated what he did with some cotton ball carefully glued to a brass rod. I really liked how it turned out, something I'll consider for future models. I left it loose so its easier to store. Doesn't take long in this hobby to realize the pain that is storage, and that for 'miniatures' our collections sure take up a lot of space.

So there you have it, some models with a bit more punch to add to my flashlight wielding stock troops. Curt suggested to me those former guys are really just a 'blade of armour' so perhaps this is what they are protecting. That's 6 artillery pieces with crew and 4 'mounted' 28mm miniatures which by my math is 100 points on the nose. Now I better get cracking on my next project as I really need to be making some progress through these chambers.

The Cap'n spies 12 x 28mm figures, 6 crewed weapons and 4 vehicles, plus a bunch of magnetised weapons as well. That be 200 points - glad you aint measuring out my grog ration Jeremy!
