Just a few touch ups, and they were done.įunny thing is, it took me the longest to complete their transfers. For the sake of doing something different, and because they were so close to being finished, I chose these guys. OK, back on topic: During my Thanksgiving break I wanted to finish something! Finishing Mad Dok Grotsnik was quite rewarding and I wanted to do that to something else. By the way, that orc next to the guardsman is to be completed very soon! You can see how I like to paint the components prior to assembly, and you can see the original Space Wolf decals along with the backpack where I hand-drew the Space Wolf logo. Slight digression: this pic was apparently overlooked when I did the Long Fang posts. In the next pic you can see one of these troopers behind a Long Fang that I completed back in February of this year (2013) to give you a clue as to the 'smorgasbord' painting technique that is my painting station! LOL!

It was around about this time last year, perhaps a few months further back, that I mostly finished these guys, but for whatever reason, I just didn't. Spotting a fairly cheap 'plug and play' box set of 5 Imperial Guard troopers I figured it would make for a fairly quick experiment. He remained a test-bed for future color schemes, only that I painted him so long ago (somewhere between '97-'00?) that I either couldn't recall the exact paint combination or that one of the mid-tones is a GW color that dried up on me which there isn't a current analog for. The single painted metal Cadian in my collection. I only ever did the one model and you can see him below. I have always loved that paint scheme, and in ages past when my brother was collecting IG, we agreed to paint his Cadians in this color scheme as well. You can see those Imperial Guard models here. For the sake of professional anonymity I refer to him on this blog as 'The Doctor'. OK let me expand on why I did this: a long time ago I showed off some of my pal's old Rogue Trader era Imperial Guard guys that I painted for him along with some of the models that he had others do for him as well.
