I've finished painting up the first batch of my
Renegade Imperial Guard Conscripts. Since I have so many of them to paint, I decided to break the painting up into batches, each batch being all the models with the same kind of headgear. Below are some pictures of the completed first batch, consisting of 14 conscripts.
These were painted in pretty much the same way as the
Infantry units, except that I used gray primer instead of white. This didn't seem to make much difference except for requiring an additional coat of snot green to fully cover the coats. So a white undercoat probably would have been better.
Very imaginative, nice.

Great idea.
ReplyDeleteYou know.... I can't help but think I've seen those uniforms somewhere before. Eylau?
ReplyDeleteI wasn't trying to make it look like any specific uniform, but I believe there were Russian Napoleonic infantry regiments with dark green jackets and pink facings.
ReplyDeleteThat is probably what I was thinking of. You should consider getting into 10mm Napoleonics, and not wait for any slow poke acquaintances to get around to it. They're probably busy painting space marines anyway.
