How To Give Your Imperial Guard a Paint Job Befitting an Officer

[@HotelCharliHill]

oh yeah, you definitely nailed the authentic "company sergeant major" look - flush cheeks from years of alcohol abuse and a beret with the felt way worn out even though he's hypocritically jacking up his troops all the time for not having newer looking berets. Slam dunk! Realistic and excellent paint job. Brought me right back to being in the canadian infantry...

[@HereticsHeroes]

You sound like you have particular individual in mind. Any suggestions what I should name this guy?

[@HotelCharliHill]

LOL..... Ummm, well none of the CSM's or RSM's, DSM's, or CWO's I served under ever powerfisted an ork, let alone kill an ISIS terrorist... So no, they don't deserve the honour. And honestly it's been nearly twenty years since I retired as a corporal after 5 years of service and i'm actually having trouble remembering their names, wow! Umm... "Ratcliffe" might fit? Looks like a bit of a rat-bastard, and hardened... like a cliff? Regimental Sergeant Major Reginald Ratcliffe?? lol, No too many R's, maybe an epic greek name after Ulysses S. Grant the american president and war hero... How about "Aegeus" which means protector? "RSM Aegeus S. Ratcliffe"@@HereticsHeroes

Taking a stab at the parts >Body and Legs are both from Cadian Command Squad (or maybe the legs from Cadian Shock Troops, but same look either way with just pose difference) >Head and Powerfist are from the Tempestus Scions >Shoulder pad for Fist is from generic tank commanders for most Guard Vehicles (not counting RD Tank) >Bolter Arm is from Cadian Command Squad (probably bolt pistol) >Bolter and Hand is from Veteran Guard (the Kreigers) with the left hand removed

[@HereticsHeroes]

Very close. One of those is wrong.

[@deadlyrecon]

Good video. Good explenation.

[@namuesmeralda155]

Looks great!!

[@JohnR1298]

Really like the paint job but it's a pity you didn't get the kitbash on video. How about you do another one and film that 👍😉

[@HereticsHeroes]

I know it is a shame, but I'm planning another guard kitbash/conversion soon and I'll get the whole process for that one.

[@vascoaching8590]

Please do some Catachans, scions or steel legion!

[@HereticsHeroes]

I do have some scions that need painting. So at some point I will.

Step 1: spend 180 bucks on paint

[@HereticsHeroes]

No aspect of the hobby is safe from the money sink unfortunately. There are some nice Vallejo starter sets on Amazon for around 25-30 dollars tho. That's where I started.
