For last years EpicUK Grand Tournament I painted myself a 3000pt Baran Seige Masters Army that many of you will have seen over on my painting blog...despite it being ground into the...erm...ground at that event...it did look real purdy once I'd painted it up all nice and weathered:
And I was pretty happy with how it ended up :-) FoW bases, lot's of room for infantry, plenty of nice non gw miniatures. It's how I roll!
Well, this summer I'd like to finish my guard collection. The idea behind the models included are that they will allow me to field a multiple of lists from across the Imperial Spectrum such as Steel Legion, Seige Masters, Death Korps, Mossinians, Minervans, etc...with the addition of titans, ordinatii and air cav units it'll be able to do several other lists too: but for now I'll be concentrating on what's on my shelves before diving headlong into any other forces!
Here's what's to be painted and it's points values:

12 Death Korps Rough Rider units

So: I've got 5 months before a big campaign I'm running and 6 months to get it all done whilst I've got sunshine coming through my south facing window and then I'm hunkering down for the winter! I'll be trying to paint 1000pts or more per month.
Pictures will commence on the 1st :-)
