The infantry platoon for my Warhammer 40k Praetorian Guard is finally complete. With the base colours already in place, I managed to stay focused just long enough on the production line. While I don’t want to paint another pith helmet in a while, I might put together and base coat a second platoon while I’m at it, so I have them ready for the next push.
Praetoria is a hive world yet their regiments are often associated with actions on more rustic planets. Enter the adobe buildings from 4Ground once again, and some improvised barricades which I believe are from Ziterdes.
Now having an Ork army to field against them would be nice. Unfortunately, only 11 out of 69 models for that army are painted so far – a project for another year.

I used to have that commisar. He’s a great sculpt. He looks just as sharp as the rest of the troops.

He’s a good fit in style I agree. Only drafted him in recently, he was painted a very long time ago, I think originally along with some Mordians.

Thanks, a very flashy horde, making any Bad Moon Warboss jealous.

Absolutely gorgeous mate – loving this project. I hear you on the pith helmet thing though, they were the worst bits to paint in my experience!

Thank you! Once I accepted that the seams don’t have to be all that even, it was a much better experience.

Very, very cool. I may have to paint my Praetorians sometime after the Orks…

Yes, looking forward to that. They are the best of enemies.

Very British sci-fi, I appreciate a platoon! Tough to build, so cool to just look at afterwards! Really great looking unit, congrats!

Thank you! I think we have a similar approach to army building – always got to have a full platoon of infantry first. I don’t go to nearly as much effort as you to achieve it though, and it still takes me years!

Takes a lot of focus for sure! Glad to see similar-minded folks like you cranking out quality projects. I’m just challenged reviving dead companies’ Minis!

That’s quite a challenge you are taking on. I’m glad I still have enough stock for my projects and only have to worry about the painting.
