I settled on a colorscheme for my WIP Imperial Guard unit and I thought I would share some pictures.
I love the Ooh-Rah line of miniatures, but made some modifications to make them a little bit more my own. I have had these guys on the workbench for a while and was holding off sharing, but felt like posting a WIP. Eventually I will probably modify them more with Lasgun barrels and perhaps some other changes.
The biggest modification I made was the removal of the underslung shotgun on most models and inclusion of optics as well as home made camo smocks.
Standard trooper with rifle (removed underbarrel shotgun). Will likely do some more work to smooth out the bottom of the rifle, but it is not so noticeable in person.
A pair of Infantry with their standard weaponry and camo smocks. I may consider adding hoods and a bit more complexity to futurer iterations.
WIP for a Heavy Stubber Heavy Weapon's team.
Short lore drop
Deployed from the rugged mountain world of Atalia, the 92nd Alpine Regiment is primarily made up of light infantry with some minor armored support. The 92nd was founded originally as a PDF regiment and later tithed as part of the larger sector response to increased Tau incursions. Like most regiments founded on Atalia the 92nd is rated for large scale grav chute insertion and notable for skill in mountain warfare. Equipment for Atalian units is primarily sourced from forgeworld Tornio which is notable for its unique STC patterns and its 500 year ongoing investigation by Cult Mechanicus consecration authorities for the alleged use of non-sanctified technology.
The planet Atalia was settled as the prize world for the 9th Army Group's demobilization following the end of the Tyrian Crusade and largely intended to serve as a bulwark against hostile xeno incursions. Atalia has since primarily paid it's tithes in manpower for the Imperial Guard via its extensive military academies and training grounds.
Anyway let me know what you think.
