Here we have my Command stand. Part of the pack from Khurasan's Nova Respublic range. I couldn't resist a commander in a massive hat and shiny medals - I used to play 40K Mordian Iron Guard! The blue uniforms came out quite nicely to match the much more armoured GZG troops which are the bulk of my infantry. I might go back and add some piping to detail the tunics more - or would this be fiddly overkill?
I thought they made a nice diorama - the Commander reviewing a holo-map with his ADC to attention, while his platoon leader radios out commands. I borrowed the idea for the round base from some Napoleonic forces I've seen on Blogger - I think that it sets them apart nicely.
This time with flash, including the Platoon Medic (the same Khurasan pack) and a squad I finished at the same time (GZG). The two mix well and the lovely Khurasan ranges give me plenty of options for future expansion.
This is really weird - the UNSC I painted up last year are in an almost identical scheme to yours! I went for gold visors across the lot though.
ReplyDeleteHeh, great minds... Promise I hadn't seen yours (if you blogged them).
ReplyDeleteWell, point of difference that mine are led by a man in a very large hat
I couldn't remember whether or not I'd blogged them, but it looks as though I hadn't. So, a total coincidence of great minds thinking alike.
DeleteThey're nice mate, I may need to get this set...
ReplyDeleteVery cool, nice job on the detail
ReplyDeleteAn excellent job on the command stand, really looks great.
ReplyDeleteI like those! I really need to get painting, haven't done anything for a few weeks now.
ReplyDeleteCome on, slacker! We need to get these back on the table...
