They raffled off the armies and gave the proceeds to Doctors Without Borders. You can read their blog as well as I can, but the gist is that a number of hobbyists, vendors, forums, and the like got together under the leadership of SC John and SC Mike to create FOUR collaborative armies based on GW's Third War for Armageddon background campaign. *Lord Commissar Anderson is named after a friend who I got a lot of these models from.You may have heard about the Heroes of Armageddon charity project.

Once Warpstorm 19 is over and restrictions lifted I may have a plan to duke it out at Warhammer World with some friends. That will round the force up to 1,000 points. The last piece to come is a Thunderbolt Heavy Fighter. There is a lot of tidying up, shading and weathering to be done on these yet. Below is a very work in progress shot of the thread heads, the middle one being a tank commander. The venerable Leman Russ chassis still works well as a main battle tank. The Typhys was mainly as I had never used it before.Įveryone needs some heavy armour and thankfully the guard has it in spades. This has used more of the pigment from Secret Weapon and some Typhus Corrosion from GW. I have been playing around with weather effects on the Lord Commissars personal ride. My little heavy weapon squad, back when they didn’t come on one base. I used rust red and rust orange for this effect, but I need more practice. As such they have a very red desert look and I have used Secret Weapon Miniatures pigments to work up a dusty look. In my head cannon these would be the support troops for the House. The bases are done to match my House Malinax Knights. (Totally different from Commissar Sebastian Yarrick, the Hero of Hades Hive) That is except for the Lord Commissar Anderson*. I was somewhat limited to what troops I could put down as these are all Steel Legion metal models. Although I am not sure how this plays out in 8th edition. The core of most Guard armies in Warhammer 40K are the troops. The images are all now links to larger pictures, which has been requested for a while. These are done up to a table top standard, because they die if you sneeze at them. Some spare time I have put into making a 1,000 Astra Militarum ( really Imperial Guard) army. I decided to use the two hours a day I saved on a commute to spend time with my family. Like a lot of people I found myself with more time on my hands lately. Welcome to the 19th regiment of the Armageddon Steel Legion.
