This thread I will use to show various Imperial Guard (54mm) projects. I very much enjoy having a large contingent of Imperial Guard Models to draw on for possible Inquisitor encounters. As any hope of playing out in the States, in California will have me as the gamemaster, I like to have lots of extras and variety and supporting cast to call on, so I.G. are natural flavor model/unit to have.
All the pics are from my hobby blog, as it seems to be the easiest way to link them.

These particular photos can be found on this post: http://middlingwars.wordpress.com/2014/10/25/wip-inquisitor-54mm-imperial-guard-conversions/ (http://middlingwars.wordpress.com/2014/10/25/wip-inquisitor-54mm-imperial-guard-conversions/)
More info on the conversions can be found on the blog post, but here are some of the pics.

Hopefully I'll get some photos up of the various other I.G. projects I have in various stages, but still working on a better lighting/photography set-up.
That Commissar is excellent. Don't suppose you could link to the base model?
Looking forward to seeing them all painted.

i like the guard officer a lot, looking forward to more of him, also like the drum fed bolter as a lighter squad support weapon, great stuff
Thanks for the link to the Commissar base-model. The painting is coming on great too.
