First complete minis and penal legion

Firstly I would like to start by showing you my first two complete guardsmen including bases. They have taken way longer than hoped, but this is in part due to waiting on bases and heads and partly due to me modelling the rest of my force on and off. You may notice in the background the start of a Valkyrie which I am also working on (new plastic vehicles FTW!)
As you can see the bases came out quite well. I added a little static grass to them to just show it peaking through the rubble and I think it went well.
The following is the start of my conversions for my penal legion. Again they will all be wearing masks, but the masks they will be wearing will not be to the quality of the rest of the army, so I am abusing the ones that came with the cadian command sprue and have also ordered some from Pig Iron Productions again. I decided to use the imperial missionary as the squad leader and with a little conversion I think he looks the part.


As you can see from the following pictures, I have used both Catachan and WFB Flagellent parts to form the basis for my Penal Legion troops. These are great as some of them have chains and the like hanging from their wrists and around their necks and I think this really works well. I also couldnt resist using the fully helmed flagellent head as well as it does look rather funky.

My next job will be to get the rest of the command squad and my 2 basic squads undercoated and started on and to also get the Valkyrie finished, as a finished tank is always something nice to look at.
Once these are done, I am left with the following:
6 Heavy Weapons Teams
2x10 Troops
1x5 Command Squad
1x Commissar
1x Chimera
1x Baneblade
2x Armoured Sentinels's
Once these are all done I have a command squad to go for the Company command, but I want these to be special so will convert and model on some details to make them really stand out. I may also have to buy Lord Castellan Creed and convert him and some more Chimera's and some other tanks, but I will cross that bridge when I get to it.
