Imperial guard - bits and figures

 A couple of weeks ago I bought some figures and

bits on second hand to complete my small but growing

collection of Imperial guards.

First up are two very nice figures to complete my 

squad. The one with the eyeglass is a classic and I

have been looking for this chap to buy for a long time.

The second is a conversion and I havent decided yet

if I will keep or change the head because he looks very

"pirate". Next are nice base-plates and kneeling figures

that will end up as riot-police in my "Law and order-

skirmishgame. The range of bits will come to use on many

 of my troops and will add some fire-power. :)

The heads are spot on to use both to tank-commanders and

special-riotpolice. The vehicle-bits will be used both to

complete my magnetized (not solved yet) Leman-russ-tanks

and my scratch-built command-vehicle(not built yet).

On the last picture you can see my collection of Leman russ-

tanks before the magnetize-operation.

Pirates - special characters

During my vacation I got an offer to exchange some
of my 15mm-miniatures(medieval) for these plastic-
figures that I don´t know how is the manufacturer.
I think they all look very good and will be played
as special-characters when playing pirates-skirmish.
I will base them all with sand to get the right look
and also give the raw plastic some lick of paint.

US cold-war soldiers 28mm in woodland-camo

 First of all I feel very limited in myself after
building a garden-fence (15metres x 6 metres)
and on top of this our fourth child will be born
in 2-5 days.
Not much time for hobby-projects but my latest
project will be to convert some US Viet-Nam-soldiers
to US army cold-war/post-apokalyptic-soldiers.
Together with the soldiers I will also use some
vehicles and first out are some cheap plastic Humvees
and a M60/A2-tank and finally some recoilless-canons.
I have already some converted US-soldiers painted in
woodland-camo and they will get some very nice
support on the gaming-table.
The game-system I will use is probably Necromunda-
ashwastes or Fallout-miniature wargame.
