At least there‘s some yellow and black striping… 

Always need yellow and black stripes 

These look great, and I especially like how the new weapons and arms blend with the old models. Well done! 

There’s some of the Stargrave arms in there and although they are a tad small it’s not really noticeable.

Nice work all round, mate.

Nice PDF. I always liked the early imperial guard miniatures style but I hated those crappy separate plastic arms and weapons. I see wargames Atlantic now sell a separate sprue of sci-fi weapons and arms that might be helpful for giving those old 1st edition minis a new lease of life.

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks 

Yes, there’s plenty of good options out there now for conversions

Interesting; I'd have thought the slightly smaller size would have resulted in a better match with these older figures (as the original plastic arms were quite small if I recall).

@ Diablo Jon:

That's a very tempting sprue! 

[OSHIROmodels]

It’s honestly not that noticeable. They’re slighter than the originals (hands not as bulky etc). Works fine on the table top.

Finished up a dred for the PDF. He’s called Bertie 

[Malamute]

That’s very cool. Lovely work

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks 

I think I’ll be doing some opposition soon (fingers crossed  )

[majorsmith]

Love that dread!

[Raedwald]

I’m loving all of your classic PDF. It’s a project I’ve daydreamed about since seeing Blanche’s Confrontation concept art 30 odd years ago.

Nice addition with the dread - great stuff!

I've been thinking about doing them a transport of some sort but haven't decided what yet.

[Major_Gilbear]

Lovely Dread, and I rather like the new bigger gun you've given it.   The stripes look a bit off-centre, but I don't think they are - rather, I suspect the model itself is perhaps not too symmetrically-sculpted?

What about something that's a "reverse-engineered" or de-Orkified Battlewagon? It might not be fully period-correct, but it would suit them as a second-tier transport, and also reflect the background that's always existed about Orks making use of wrecked and captured Imperial kit.

Now that's a proper cannon on that dread. Nice that you gave it the stunty legs instead of the taller ones; they fit the whole Hive city PDF style better, what with all those many tunnels to fight through...

Oh trust me, those dreads are wonky as heck. I've painted some of them before (and one in is the queue at this very moment), and just like most of the RT marines, it's often a bit of a guessing game.

But to me, the stripe looks pretty on the spot to be honest (but maybe I'm used to those lopsided lumps of goofiness by now).

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks 

Yeah, the stripe is as centred as I could get it on a wonky head  I did quite a bit of filing to get it as even as possible but it’s still slightly off 

For the transport I was thinking more of a hand-me-down from a prestigious regiment or maybe even a marine company. So open topped rhino or something similar. A decent vehicle that’s seen better days. In my head that’s more likely than an old orc vehicle but I do like that idea
