After a bit of a break from mini painting I have been working more on my famous sci-fi franchise inspired scenario idea.
I thought that Inquisitor Thrad needed some white armoured minions to complete his ensemble. I did consider using some Space Marines but I don't actually have many of those and had already used them in my other Inquisitor's (Tycho) retinue.
Instead I settled on some of the early Imperial Guard troopers with more armour than the normal bunch.

I'm pretty happy with how the two of them have turned out, even if they are quite difficult to photograph! They do actually remind me more of the Spaceballs from Mel Brooks' parody (hence the title...) than actual Stormtroopers (probably something to do with the rounded helmets) but I don't think that's a major problem.
Finally a shot of them with their boss.
Till next time...

Huh, those were some of my first 40K minis, they look really rather smart in black and white, I wouldn't have thought of that (bet it plays havoc with their aim though)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely BS1...
DeleteOooh, I love these! Haha, they look really nice in that scheme!
ReplyDeleteYes, it does work surprisingly well. I want to do some more but unfortunately there are only these two and I prefer not to have duplicate models.
DeleteWhat a great interpretation. I have the same figs, but never thought of this!
