Rogue Trader nostalgia.

Big thumbs up for the Imperial army guys. 

The generator looks the part too. Are those printer cartridges?..

Excellent work. The IG troops look good to me, and the generator is very nice.

[cheetor]

Nice work on the Guard, but its the generator that I particularly like.  Its minimalist, but I mean that in a positive, like-a-real-life-industrial-construction way.  It looks like more modern take on a period gaming piece.  Its cool 

[Centaur_Seducer]

Love them!
And that leo tart on the orks are just mmm mmm mmm!

[Mini-mania]

RT classic! Nice work. That book and those figs got me into this hobby 1987...

[Lost Egg]

Awesome idea and a great trip down memory lane. Keep up the good work!

Gentlemen, there seems to be some confusion here. There are no Imperial Guard in this thread to date, these figs are the Imperial Army, the Guard do not exist.

Slow going for various reasons not related to the figs themselves, but I'm slowly getting there.

Still haven't played 'the Battle at the Farm', but hope to do so soon.

Meanwhile, working my way through the original Imperial Army release,  12 more to go and I'm done with them.

Here's what's been finished to date:



And some close ups of the members of the platoon:

Here we can see Major Valentine, shadowed as ever by Com-officer Schmitt, and the Major's escorts, veteren troopers Hadfield and Gosling.


Sergeant Hopper, Captain Armstrong, Vet Sergeant Whistler, Sergeant Monk:


Corporal Stiener, Lieutenant Dorfmann  and trooper Uglow


Trooper Lever (Objective Marker) and Trooper Holland:


Sgt Hicks and Troopers Ciego, Hanley and Morgan:


And here is my dilema, to strip and repaint or to let lie?
These are the Imperial Army figs I've had since I was at school, painted in the early 90's, I had intented to paint them up to match the additions from e-bay, but I'm loath to do so, what do you think?


Thanks for the feedback so far

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Amazing! So many old beauties painted to a very high standard. Keep it coming!

[von Lucky]

Keep the old paint, but touch up if you have too. It's what I did with mine.

[Valerik]

Keep the old paint, but touch up if you have too.

Oh I quite agree!

Leave the Green Jobs as they are, delightful!!

IF you think it best hit 'em a lick, or two, as needed.

These are incredibly far from my interest, or inclination, yet I LIKE 'em!!

C³I staff

Surely there's room for one, or more, assignments for the oldsters.

I'd strip and repaint. There's nothing wrong with them as they are but they won't quite fit with the new figures and you might end up kicking yourself if you don't 

cheers

Army never die!! 

I'm with James on this one, strip 'em. The standard you're turning out now is so different to those early figures. They'll look amazing with a new lick of paint.

It's a tough decision but its what I've done with my old Rogue Trader Marines.

Excellent paintwork by the way. 

I'd love to see you add a Rogue Trader era dreadnought to the force.

Big thumbs up for the Imperial army guys.

Sorry, yes they're printer cartridges.

Thanks for the feedback. Into the brakefluid they go.
