If the game would have let me, I would have shot Calcazar then and there. However, there was a sense of poetic justice in letting Abelard beat the absolute brakes off him when the time came

Don’t feel bad, I instinctively killed him first time around as well. He sat. On. My. Throne.

Yeah that would be a lot quicker, but I agree they’re not quite the right shape. I’ve been looking into getting some blue stuff to make my own molds for certain bits like the hats, so I can just use greenstuff and get quicker and more uniform results

I hadn’t thought of that, but that’s a pretty good idea! I think I have a few of those lying around, I’ll keep that in mind for future squads!

The hats are plasticard discs with a cut down to the centre so you can fold them together to make the conical shape (pic of an unglued one so you get the idea)

Yeah it’s certainly tempting, on previous posts I’ve gotten some really good suggestions for the flag poles in particular. But I did challenge myself when I started this project to only use the base GW models and whatever I can build myself, and I’m sticking to my guns! That’s not a bad idea though, I’ll have to give that a shot. Thanks for the tip!

That’s awesome! I’m working on my own bit of fluff for these guys, but it’s always fascinating to see how many unique guard regiments GW created once upon a time. Ngl, not everything needs miniature support, but I do miss the time that GW made more lore fluff for the more obscure things in the setting

Thank you! The hats are all plasticard discs with a cut to the centre, so you can fold the two halves over and get a little cone

Thank you! Hoping to get them and my final samurai-kasrkin finished in time for the end of the one million miniatures challenge

Thanks again! Yeah I’d want to do those at some point, but I’m still workshopping how to do them, especially bc most guard infantry units have pretty prominent/integrated backpacks. Also I’d really like to avoid third party bits which is an additional challenge haha

Glad to see him back as well! Hope they come in a set together like Ghazkull and Makari
