Here comes the Guard!

Sure, I know they're now called the "Astra Militarum", but they'll always be the Imperial Guard to me!

Well, these guys are nearly Imperial Army, as old as they are!  I've got an entire box of the Rogue Trader Imperial Guard soldiers that I built years ago, painted probably 3 of them and then put them away as life got too busy.  Now they're back on my project table and ready to be completed.

Rogue Trader Land Raider Conversion - Part 2

(why I hate priming in the south during the summer!)

   It has been a busy few months with work, so progress has been slow on the RT-era Land Raider.  Lots of trimming, sanding and filling, to get it ready to prime.  I also had to prep all of the magnetized conversion parts for the modifications to make it a stand-in for a Spartan.

(or why less glue is BETTER!)

   I hope the rest of you modelers take the following under advisement:
   "You may not always be the owner of your recently completed model.  Please, for the rest of us that inherit your used models, STOP USING TOO MUCH GLUE!
   Since spending two weeks in the paint stripper, my Rogue Trader Land Raider has been turned into a nearly new model.

Rogue Trader Land Raider - FINALLY

Well, I guess patience pays off.  After kicking around and finally getting the good deal on the Land Raider Terminus Ultra that I'm repairing, I kept looking for a Rogue Trader-era Land Raider.  Fortunately I managed to score one for about $40 after shipping.
