027 "She's Leaving Home; bye-bye..."

Hullo...

...and Goodbye - for tomorrow morning I leave Norwich (UK) for the South-West, so no progress blogs for probably two weeks. Damnit! Here's the area I'm heading for - it's really lovely down there: I had a lovely send-off from my colleagues, and the kids were simply smashing! I'm a very lucky man, y'know, to have so rewarding a job - very lucky indeed.

Now if only it left me more time for painting...

Ahh, well...Devon, here I come!

026 A/P Squad D

August '09 - NB: Since the new Codex: Imperial Guard, my fire support platoons have been disbanded, and their constituent units re-allocated. In this case, these heavy bolters are now part of 2 'Tactical' Platoon.

About bloody time!

Fifth Edition's out and I finally took the proper photos of these fine fellows. The newly published FAQ document for the Codex: Imperial Guard had some interesting bits in it too, so all-in-all not bad for my last weekend resident in Norwich.

So: here are the more detailed pics of D Coy's 1st (F/Sup) Platoon's heavy bolter section - (also known as "A/P Squad D" - they go with A/T Squad B and A/P Squad C ). The next on the 'to-do' list is the Pl HQ section - with some quite nice models. As for Squad A? - well, I guess I'll explain that one another time...

I quite like the lasgun sling:

Funny how the different light (compare post 025, below) makes the colours show up isn't it?

And yes, I know one of the transfers is a-comin' off. I'll look into it...

025 Victory is Mine!

Ha-ha!

Against almost insurmountable termporal odds, I've managed to finish my heavy bolter squad at last! This is just a taster to prove I'm still alive and painting: the normal, full entry will follow anon...
