So I finished the next flag bearer. I actually used legs from the Valkyrie set (I'm assuming they are for the heavy bolter sponsons, but I forgot to put them on), but i think they work fairly well with this one. I still have to do face detail, but as I've said in previous posts, that may wait until I feel more comfortable with painting faces and detail painting. On a side note, I found out my wife's camera is alot better than I thought it was. It was actually the operator that messed most of the shots up. Due to Internet anonymity laws, he shall remain nameless.....Now I'm not actually sure which flag goes with the Company Command Squad and which goes with the Platoon Command Squad, which is part of the reason I made both. I honestly believe that either can be used for both the Company and the Platoon Command Squads, but with tournaments I will leave it up to the tournament organized, either way I'm prepared (minus the Techpriest I am going to order tomorrow hopefully).
AHahah! that's sick! Man your painting gets better and better each pic.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that guy before, the bandaged arm is a nice touch :)
Yeah, I wanted him to be like the heroes from WWII and as such (not that 40k can be related to real life heroes) my inspiration for this figure were the soldiers raising the flag on Iwo Jima. Not that they were wounded, but the sacrifices that those brave soldiers went through to protect our country. Maybe thats what I like about IG. They are normal men so I can relate them to the soldiers of today who serve and protect our country.
