So... thought i would give you a first look at my Guard army, Like I've said before.. I'm not a great painter and if i can manage to paint a couple of thousand points of guard to this standard ill be very happy.
Wizeman's Penal Interplanetary Expedition (PIE)
This is a new paint scheme for my guard, mainly taking advantage of the foundation paints and the washes. I was going to do thier armour in a scab red colour but after trying to get a decent coat of red on 1 figure for way too long last year i decided to avoid the colour.
About a month ago i was chatting with a friend about the guard and said id like to sit down and start getting some painted so i can stop playing marines for a while. while i was thinking about the army in general i thought about the bases and realized i wanted to go for a desert/barren look rather than the urban look i was trying for my marine force. so that added a nice bleached bone colour to the palette and made me think of doing the armour in a more desert camo colour which ended up being this sort of tan/brown colour.
Hope you like the look of the scheme anyway.. it was pretty simple to do and very quick which im sure anyone who has a painted guard army will know is a very very nice thing.
Ill have to post the fluff about the force up soon, why its a bunch of criminals, who im fighting against most the time and maybe even how the idea began for the force and how i inherited it.
In the mean time. For the Emperor!
