Beautiful work. Very impressive.
To a New Yorker like you a hero is some kinda weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Tigers!

They're old, old, metal Sentinels. Nice job making classic models blend seamlessly into your force!

That is an impressive army. You have really put lots of effort into this and it shows. I like how they are commanded by Colonel Lawrence... He wouldn't happen to be "of Arabia" would he?
Are all of the gaurdsmen old models? I can't help but wonder where you got all of the towelheads!

Just commenting on your paint job. Very impressive. I always love to see a fully painted guard army! Great work!

Lawrence of Arabia? Damn straight!

And yes, all of the guardsmen are old 2nd Edition Tallarn models. Except for Lawrence who's a conversion from a Forge World tank commander. I got most of these back in 1998-01 during the change-over to 3rd edition, but you can still buy them at ridiculous prices from the IG collectors section of the GW website. Though eBay is more reasonable if you're patient.

Thank you for posting these excellent photos! This is very inspiring work. There is plenty of theory and mathhammer on BOLS, but when someone commits to a list, builds buys and collects the models and does such a nice job with the painting and composition, it brightens my day. Thanks again, and have fun at the tournament!

i will have to agree thats a fantastic army. although it doesnt seem like much, i really like the display board (even though your army isnt correctly displayed). seems like it would help while preparing for a tourney or some such thing. i think there was an article about a checklist or some such thing here a month or two ago. anyways, two thumbs up for you!

True, it's really only a carry-board, to help move the models between tables. And it's still marked up for the old gun line army I was running prior to the new codex. But I'll at least get it painted before the next tourney. There were some very lovely display boards at this tourney, so I'll have to step it up a notch for next time. Originally Posted by the drake
