Paradiso's Glory

Back in the dim and distant days of 9th Edition Warhammer 40,000, when the Cadians were redone and the army set released with the Codex, I got given it for Christmas by my partner P. I had plans then - and still do - to build an infantry company with relevant armour support (Sentinels, tanks, etc) for modern 40K, but with heads from Anvil Industries. Specifically, women wearing pickelhaubs. That sort of solidified the paint scheme for me - late 19th Century Prussians. So I started the project, then got distracted, and, er, now it's 10th Edition, a new Codex has been released that invalidates the army basically entirely (as the infantry squad with integral heavy weapon has been taken out back and shot) and means I need to do a bit of a rethink once I get my hands on the new thing. Anyway. That's all a very long-winded way of saying I made a start, today, on the Stormtrooper - sorry, Kasrkin - squad that's going in the army:

Blue tunics, grey trousers... and eventually 1918 style camouflaged armour plate, because this is 40K and anachronism is the name of the game anyway

On top of all that, a chap who commissioned me to paint up some 3D printed versions of the old Dungeons and Dragons cartoon cast dropped the minis off today, and so I knuckled down and cranked out the first three of nine:

L-R: Sheila the Thief, Presto the Magician, Hank the Ranger

I stuck to the colours of the cartoon as requested

These are a delight to paint up, because the colour scheme is so simple - thank you, 1980s animation team - and the prints themselves are super smooth and clean. No idea what they were printed on or what the resin was, but really easy to paint. Lovely minis. Quite a bit bigger than 28mm though, these are 42mm scale. 

Tomorrow I should be able to show you the rest of the heroes and some more work on the elite heavy infantry element of the Paradisan LXIX Infantry.
