I’m progressing with my Praetorian Guard for Warhammer 40k and finished the first of three infantry squads in the platoon. There are only so many different sculpts, so this is going to be a bit repetitive. There actually is a conversion amongst these ten though, where I used a head from the Empire Flagellants, turning a Mordian into a Praetorian sans pith helmet.
The infantry advances with fire support from a Sentinel
As I mentioned, I have a little battle scene set up, with the Necrons advancing on the Praetorian line. Here’s a shot from behind the gun line, showing the latest reinforcements throwing themselves against their pitiless enemy.
Lascannons are moved into position behind hastily assembled barricades
Bootiful mate, and good call on re-heading cheaper Mordians to bolster the ranks – I did that a lot with VM pith helmeted heads ;-)
Good idea, they are nice. I still have some reinforcements once the core army is completed, and then I should probably expand the vehicle pool from an army composition point of view. Those lasguns will only get you so far.
Nice shots mate. I never get tired of looking at Praetorians
Cheers, a full platoon is a splendid sight indeed. Got to keep at it!
I hope that with the new release of Necromunda that GW don’t stop there and do plastic kits of praetorian, iron guard, tallarn raiders, steel legion, Valhallan trooos AND plastic Mordheim haha. One can hope
I’m sure there will be new plastics and add-ons to turn them into various regiments, but I doubt we’ll see many of the classics again. With GW’s drive to make everything copyrightable, historical tie-ins aren’t a good fit. Also don’t know what happened to all the homeworlds in the new timeline, but at least Mordian has been destroyed as I recently read.
They look absolutely ace. I tip my hat to you, sir. Kudos!
Thank you! The Perrys sure know how to sculpt an army, so they paint up nicely.
Excellent work, old chap!
Thank you! Now I really feel I need an Ork horde of the period to go up against them – but that would be a whole other project for the next 20 years. Terrain wise I am cheating by getting some adobe buildings from 4Ground.
Do you have any praetorians for sale?
No, I’d recommend the Victoria Miniatures range if you want to build a force:
