Rebuilding some feathers.
Since I was in a hurry to get this mini ready for some games earlier this summer I wasn't really satisfied with it.

I have had this one in the box ever since it was released. I couldn't really get myself to start building it, not before I had a clear picture of what I wanted it to look like. After some cutting, repositioning and green-stuffing I started the painting - and that's where I'm at right now...

I've wanted to build an Imperial Guard Killteam ever since I read the "Killteam" omnibus. I was fascinated by the Colonels iron resolve and Lt. Kage - who in my opinion is one of the most unsympathetic characters in the whole Imperium! But nevermind that - I wanted to put together my own band of hardenend criminals in the service of the glorious Emperor. With the "Battle Missions"-book came the perfect oportunity to put my plan into motion. This is the result: two squads of Veterans with the Colonel and Kage as officers (a bit of a down-trade, I know, but it's just for the feel and fun of it!).
The Colonel takes charge of the first squad:

Last week I started on this one. I'm not going to use him in any army and I'm going to mount him on a winter-styled base when it's finished.
I was aiming for a bit of a blue/pale/"winterish" kind of theme on this one.

And here are some pics of my progress last sunday:

On vacation I had to sample some of the local painting talents of Amsterdam. In the middle of the usual tourist-chaos I found GW Amsterdam to be a relaxed and easygoing retreat.

The local GW painting competition "forced" me to finish this one. It's for my Strom Renegade Army.

TROOPS 3 and 4:

The 2000 points list:

Since I've been trying to win some games with my Raptors I've also tried to have them look the best! So I repainted and touched up some of my units. I've also built and painted some additions that are currently collecting dust on my shelf.
First up there's my two Tactical Squads:

So I got around and added some last minute touches to the "Green Machine". Kind of hasty, but I needed it for a game last week. A game where it got ripped to shreds by an Ork Warboss in the third turn.

I found two of my AOBR dreads I painted for my Raptors Chapter Army. I was a bit bored when I started them so I tried out a bit of camo on them. But I ran into a bit of trouble when I mounted them on their bases. When the glue dried the whole thing had bent out of shape. So I removed them, did a rework on the bases and touched up the painting a bit. I also added a bit of chipped paint and some scribbling on the scrolls.
