Due to recent events I've found myself with more free time of late and have used that to actually slap some paint on some figures.
So I've added a couple more members to my Star Trek themed Imperial Guard. One of them is just regular trooper, the second is to expand my options a little.
Originally these figures were painted to accompany my eponymous Rogue Trader. However I thought about also using them as more conventional (if poorly camouflaged) Imperial troops. As such they needed a leader as my Rogue Trader (the old Imperial Scout model) is a little too ragged in appearance and carrying too much xenos weaponry to fit the bill.
So the first figure is Commander Tzcherkoff for use as a commander when they have more loyalist tendencies, complete with Gold 'command' uniform.
Eventually I intend to form a five man command squad, possibly armed with bolters around him for now he has to make do with these two.
The other figure is a basic trooper to add to the main squad, painted in the same way as the earlier figures, complete with classic 'ray-gun' coloured lasgun.
And finally a terrible shot of the whole squad so far, still needs a couple more members to get a full 10.
Think I might paint a few classic Eldar next.
Till next time.

Haha, cool and classic in so many ways! Delightful :)
ReplyDeleteI have a real soft spot for the original Imperial Army figures, and a fair few in the collection. Love the nods to the old style Grey fatigues on the helmets and pads, amongst the brighter Trek colours.
