Preparing for IGT 2011

[Molotov]

I particularly like the first of the pair. The digital camouflage is very well executed, too.

Who else is going to be paired with them?

Yes, the idea of ballistic masks isn't to be bullet-proof but to prevent minor facial wounds (which are notorious for bleeding profusely) from reducing a soldier's combat effectiveness.  Of course, the larger question is whether they reduce a soldier's combat effectiveness enough by reducing his combat awareness and making him sweaty and uncomfortable such that the reduced likelihood of minor facial injuries is hardly accommodated.

Still, they do look cool and threatening, so in this context I'm all for them.

@Mol - I've still not decided.  I have a very (very) old, half-finished female commissar conversion and a female arbitrator conversion on my desk.  The former may well get some attention, as it's based on the 54mm Wood Elf limited edition mini and I love using weird GW minis at WHW to confuse the staff.

I've got a plethora of half-done characters in my army case that might need to be looked at and oodles of bits.  I'm thinking I might get the Black Army Space Guard and hope that no one at WHW looks too closely, because I think the guy would look brilliant in a camouflage jacket.

Or I could finish my power-armoured Inquisitor Morpheus Braman (the one who appears with these two above), although I fear he would be a bit of a power-house to be taking to the IGT.

Great work. TWO-one's tattoo is really lifelike, really cleanly executed. I love the digital camo, I've never come across that before. Consider it stolen for my next mob of 40K Blood Axes.

I remember when you started that. Wasn't that a way way back on the ol' green Conclave? Be great to see her finished off.

I'll be using the Space Guard as the basis of a model I'll be playing with as well Robey - but it so happens I'll have a spare warband member if I were to be told to hide him away - which I doubt.

[Necris]

I thought Morpheus was finished, wasn't he in use at the last conclave meet?

[precinctomega]

Morpheus is finished-ish.  He could do with bringing up to scratch. Truth is that my painting has significantly improved since I started doing it full-time.
