Hi!
I've just finished off my third Imperial Guard proxy trooper in the form of a pistol toting chap, again from the plastic Trooper set from EM4 miniatures.
For £2.55 for five figures, you can't go far wrong, the only downside is that three figures come with pistols and only two with rifles so in order to get a full squad of rifle toting troops, you'd need more packs. Saying that, as I plan on playing small skirmishes, the fact that many of the troops are going to be toting pistols isn't too much of a burden.
I've got a few bits and bobs on the paint table at the moment but I've just spent an hour or so stripping paint and goop from the tub of figures I mentioned previously and will show some of the odds and ends I've finished cleaning tomorrow.
In the meantime, All the best!
They are sweet!
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't mean painting only but the whole concept.
Almost forgot how supercool oldie EM4 sculpts really are.
Must dig out my troopers sometimes... 😎
Many thanks!
DeleteI may pick up some more and paint them grey ala the original Rogue Trader Imperials!
Maybe they not the the best or most detailed minis, but your paintjob certainly helps them pop! I really like what you did here. I’ll have to keep it in mind for my own stargrave games.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
