The i can't stop adding conversions post

Two more conversions to add to my special ops platoon, both long term veterans.

 First guy is toting a bolter cuz they are just cool looking in the hands of a guardsman. 

 I did the head a while back and spotted it floating around in the bits box and thought it deserved a body.

 There's a bit of art that i'll dig out that shows my inspiration for these two guys.

 Second guy toting a custom auto rifle and non standard body Armour. The head was done at the same time as the other one.

 His head gear is based again on a pic, suggested to me a rugby players head gear or maybe an under cap for a helm.

 And that's ment to be a steel whip i'll try to get a better shot of it if i don't replace it for actual steel hawser that i can loop up.

Hope you like and tell me what you think? I may have a couple more conversions in mind to bulk out the unit plus some ratling snipers to add. One of the ideas i've had is to try converting a Cadian into something approximating a drop trooper. Seen some fantastic las conversions that i'll def be referencing for these chop jobs, bog standard las guns are so last season :)
PS just got my grubby hands on a Game of Thrones DVD so i if i'm quite aint dead just lost in Westeros lol

Captain and sidekick for the 28th

Here they are, the officer commanding and his heavy flamer toting aide.

Wip pics first

And the finished camo job. On the office i did an attemptat a more detailed camo echoing the WWII german camoflage. I added the black as the other colouers needed something finish off the overall affect. His left sholer guard was originally gretchin green but whislt looking at some recent John Blanche minis on Steve Buddles blog (great blog go check it out) one of the minis had a great shield on his sholder that was an orangy red that i just loved and made the mini pop for me so an ilyanden yellow base then sunburst yellow strait on top followed by orange GW ink (very old) and then red ink around the edges all in fast sucssession. The decal is a cut down braun and his other sholder sports a family shield. And 28 layed on top, all with micro sol and set to make it permanant.
hope you like um and any thoughts welcome, i've added a comms guy to the unit and found a couple of alt heads i did last year that need bodys to finish off.

Camo camo camo camo camo

 Camo on my Tallarns oris it Tallerns can never remember, oh well not to worry. These are my Tallarns that i've added to the 28th SpD "amalg" detachment, Taskforce Hadrada Subsector.

These guys were great to paint up as there'slots of area on those smocks to get camo on to and the addition of there shemaqhs in a different camos was a last min decision but i think it works as all the 28th will have bits of kit from there old regiments and the Tallarns stand out as well Tallarns what ever youdo with green stuff lol.

As discribed a couple of posts ago the the camo was mid grey then light green then dark green to finish http://blitzspearslab.blogspot.com/2012/01/i-know-im-spoiling-you-post.html compleatly with the absecne of any pics to back it up do'h.

I can't find any pics of the shemaqhs being done (the head scarfe thingys) as i exstended them and resculptid some bits but they'll turn up i'm sure.
I'll get the hofficer and his heavy flamer side kick finished tonight and post there progress pics tommorow-ish. The heavy flamer is the samecamo as the rest of the 28th and the big cheese is having something that i think looks a bit like gumfesumpe or woodland dapple as it's modern version is sometimes called.

After i've got my Guard kick over with again for a little  while at least i'll post my progress on my warbands. I've not stalled as such it's just proving hard to find the right coloures to use on civiies.
