Welcome, my nerdlings...
Lately, I have been working on the geekiest project of them all! A new army for Warhammer 40,000 which is painted up in homage to my old high school marching band.
Awesome, right? So, our colors were brown and gold, we were shuttled to
and from the games in classic black and yellow school buses, and we
were led by our fearless leader, a band director who we called
"Commissar" because she wore a black trenchcoat. I was painting them in
quite a rush. My old 40k buddy from back in the day was coming up for a
visit, and I wanted to use them in some small games last week. I
succeeded in getting a platoon of them ready, along with two black and
yellow tanks, and a female commissar to lead them. She was originally a
Games Day promo figure from the very late 90's or early 2000's I
believe. The marching band itself is made from Mordian Iron Guard guys
which I had lying around, plus some extras from Bartertown. The
lascannon is painted up like a bass drum. Now that these guys are done,
my Imperial Guard army is up to about 1500 points, since I still have a
platoon of old pewter Catachans and old tanks. I figure I'll get this
army painted up to 2,000 and take a break from them for awhile. Not much left to paint to get there. I've got some old heroes and vehicles rattling around in my storage boxes which should just about do it.
