Well I've begun working through my assorted unpainted lead and have completed a couple of figures that have been languishing unpainted for several years!
First up theres a somewhat converted Catachan jungle fighter:
Imperial Guard
I converted him a couple of years back to represent a somewhat more heavily armed guardsman with carapace armour and a combat rifle. I never did understand how Catachans are supposed to have flak armour when all they seem to wear is a vest!
In keeping with my Budgethammer principles, he will see use anyway as part of my Imperial garrison force but has been on deployment so long his uniform has been replaced by a pair of jeans and a non standard combat rifle he has acquired along the way and he certainly looks the part of a grizzled veteran!
Next up theres a bit of a mystery figure:
The Veiled One
I can't even remember who made him other than the fact that I bought him from Spirit Games a few years ago along with a couple of other miniatures. Despite the fact that the sculpting is a bit on the rough side, he has lots of character and will come in handy as either a native guide, bounty hunter or even see use in fantasy games!
The Imperial Guard garrison is slowly coming together and once I have one or two more figures painted up, will be ready for some small skirmishes!
Imperial Garrison, Farpoint
Instead of only having them for one game setting, they will be seeing action against the likes of the Kryomek or Growlers so may be proxies for Union or Nexus troops or even Capitol corporate troopers and as Budgethammer embodies the principles of using whatever you like, the force is rather apt!
I'm hoping to be able to expand their numbers to a couple of squads, a command unit and possibly some sort of small vehicle (the tanks are going to be saved until I have some larger forces!)
I have also got some Orks undercoated on the paint table so hope to expand my Goff force too so I can get some small skirmishes in between planetary defenders and alien raiders!
All the best!
Fantastic! Love the new additions to what is now a very cool warband indeed.
