"Chosen Men, to me!"

Moving right along with the 95th Rifles, I present my progress pics of Tongue, Hagman, and Harris.


I'm already planning out what I want to do with Sharpe and Harper, but that's to be another post for another time.

Chosen Man Cooper

After some free time tonight, I'm pleased to report some real progress on my Cooper figure. More pics to come!

Sappers



As of last night, I've begun work on the first member of a team of sappers. My plan is for them to advance at the head of my force (they'll be a small detachment from the 77th Praetorian Engineers, by the by) and use them for various game objectives, such as holding bridges and whatnot.

He's a Praetorian bugler, minus the hands (I bought him for cheap on eBay some months back), and wears a Cadian knapsack. He has a shovel slung over one shoulder, and will ultimately hold a saw in his other hand. When it comes to close quarters, I figure he could use it just as a chain sword, hehe. I'm really pleased with how he looks right now, and I can't wait to see him and his future comrades in action.

I believe an introduction is in order...

Hello, and welcome to my project blog. I be Lord Whitlow, the colonel of the 32nd Praetorian Foot. I've been into this little hobby since about May of this year, due in large part to a friend of mine who got me hooked. So here I am.



Quickly, here's a brief example of my work. That's Major M.B. Fletcher-Jones leading a small force of men on a recon mission behind enemy lines. He's a beheaded Praetorian sargeant, a Catachan head, and he carries a Warmachine pirate sword I had laying about. As of yet, he's the pride of my army.




And here we some stout wounded fellows from the 27th Foot, also known as the "Lousy Bastards." Wherever there is a bloody fight, you can be sure that the majority of the casualties of that of the ol' 27th. There has been more than one time that the 32nd has had to intercede on behalf of the Bastards.

And here's what I hope is to be the crown jewel in my force. It's a 40k version of Rifleman Cooper from the Sharpe film series! In the background of the second photo, you can catch a blurred glimpse of Rifleman Tongue (minus the hair). My goal is to ultimately make him and the rest of the Chosen Men, including Sharpe and Harper themselves.
