The Commisar and the Sniper are wonderful figures.

Thanks! I have a lot of comissars, but I always find some inspiration to make yet another.

Lovely again Fred! Man I love the TIE fighter as a design! What are those wee slottabases on top of the larger ones? Weight?

Thank you!
The extra infantry bases are for the crew when they disembark- at this point more of a modeling tradition of mine as not every vehicle in my collection has easily removeable crew (in case of disembarking easier to use other infantry figures). I always include them on the photos, they help to show the scale.

Two bikers for the Gaslands40k project. The smaller one is a 3D design of someone with a simple conversion, the bigger one is a Wargame Scenery mdf kit with a driver added.

Thank you! It is a really simple blue lens effect.

Thanks! In the old times they also had rules in 40k, now only house rules.

The next ones are some plastic Krieg troopers. I always laugh on these, as plastic Krieg was the top Imperial Guard rumor for 15 years, and when no one took it seriously any more, they were suddenly released.

Thank you, guys! I love the Krieg models since the Siege of Vraks books, I hope that they will expand the plastic range too.

The new Cadians. I was in a little trouble with these as all my conversion parts were made for the old ones, and those new ones are a lot more true scale. So I had to sculpt heads first, 3-4 type of helmeted ones, one with officers cap and also one with field cap (this latter one was not used yet)




From then on it was the usual head- and shoulder pad changes like all of my IG models (except the Krieg ones, I do not have the heart to cut up those). The HQ and the two infantry squads from the starter box.

Great job, they turned out well! That’s some dedication to sculpt heads to fit.  :o

I do wonder what the radio operator does to get in/ out of the APC, though, with that roll-bar antenna strapped to his pack.
