Sorry it has been such a long time since last post - Work and Life just has a crazy way of taking over and not giving much time for the good things - like painting and posting. The Air Mobile effort continues, with all the Valk / Vendetta / Vulture stand-ins nearing completion (more on these to follow), but I've taken a small detour - in the form of a Praetorian Fighter (perhaps a Lightning Stand-In, although the weapon fit-outs are slightly different). <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0aCeRRhhx96y_ynnWclfc2fA1ETaOOX8Xj-98NZ05cTQDdfKa7AJaWwI2uXgOxsO-oaplOQLnzKOkRcMndVgsbgH7inC7URcLnoB-YGnq_m5oDHOeUSF4HzkgpjfJLxH8FOt_vU1dwe4/s1600/2011-11-03_12-43-23_639.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675679786255947202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0aCeRRhhx96y_ynnWclfc2fA1ETaOOX8Xj-98NZ05cTQDdfKa7AJaWwI2uXgOxsO-oaplOQLnzKOkRcMndVgsbgH7inC7URcLnoB-YGnq_m5oDHOeUSF4HzkgpjfJLxH8FOt_vU1dwe4/s200/2011-11-03_12-43-23_639.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>The inspiration for this is the WW1 British DH-2, which effectively ended the "Fokker scourge" of the early part of the war.

This design has the same look and feel of the Valkyrie / Vendetta equal - similar deck (except with no "door-gunner" stations), same engine/tail section. The main difference is the "hull", which is considerable smaller, due to the fact that there is no troop-carring capacity. In addition, there is a nose-mounted Heavy Bolter. The Galliant will have side "wings", which will have magnetized hard-points for the mounting of either the Punisher cannons, or other weapon fit-outs (such as H/K Missiles, Rocket Pods, Las Cannons, etc.)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxRQZJQ0imFShWPc9zl0TncUXwSfhWq4l16hHHo2YPpqHUQohC-LIeqA-7WNDsgg5Rm0JsbtEpRZ_6zRc0o_atyIdxbSaDc8weYaSFDl4zoiWHMSv5m9Hdd0oUNtbRq_RDNiB4NbT8MvM/s1600/DSCN4545.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512010331267142242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxRQZJQ0imFShWPc9zl0TncUXwSfhWq4l16hHHo2YPpqHUQohC-LIeqA-7WNDsgg5Rm0JsbtEpRZ_6zRc0o_atyIdxbSaDc8weYaSFDl4zoiWHMSv5m9Hdd0oUNtbRq_RDNiB4NbT8MvM/s320/DSCN4545.JPG" /></a> Side View of the HMAS Galliant, showing the smaller Hull and nose-mounted Heavy Bolter.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFRR7wqWJxNMIM_WQktSBLFE7EniqE0dvn9E1B2MPuPlQ6k67w1VNoRiRjO7EhkrksgoCWi9cUx5KYN6LiukvlpYguxVUguMB6kMtCWIp3Tib1iaaqKnjiPeUQ9dExoAO7AVd1y9q29Bg/s1600/DSCN4546.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512010321650244482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFRR7wqWJxNMIM_WQktSBLFE7EniqE0dvn9E1B2MPuPlQ6k67w1VNoRiRjO7EhkrksgoCWi9cUx5KYN6LiukvlpYguxVUguMB6kMtCWIp3Tib1iaaqKnjiPeUQ9dExoAO7AVd1y9q29Bg/s320/DSCN4546.JPG" /></a> Top view Comparrision between the Valk/Vendetta (left) and the Vulture (Right).<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgotQt4SUFCfViZFzqHy_ut-YRSetXfnPlcoK4ob3Yu7AVNU7bsaJ_50w7YyDw6R7q5sqpdjJgRbdlz_fbkUdMHNl2R82xkwlQhlcG2HtSLw03mn6UW6vaTORjK5jyc5K5BPq_1MjxhcwM/s1600/DSCN4541.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512010310519573842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgotQt4SUFCfViZFzqHy_ut-YRSetXfnPlcoK4ob3Yu7AVNU7bsaJ_50w7YyDw6R7q5sqpdjJgRbdlz_fbkUdMHNl2R82xkwlQhlcG2HtSLw03mn6UW6vaTORjK5jyc5K5BPq_1MjxhcwM/s320/DSCN4541.JPG" /></a><br />Bottom view comparison between the Valk/Vendetta (left) and Vulture (right).<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCORLAxbxQtTZBahxfjsfdQNEYn2A6DQ00SPkw5eyP03WkmrliDVFIhzH7haWRFuQFSUauoUT4sU2YqmTLU8NuJzf7cyuNBm7Kh2E9w_rwJBA1AU0tv07bLrVCt6hyphenhyphen33oigWUiLy5rG9E/s1600/DSCN4542.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512010304106896418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCORLAxbxQtTZBahxfjsfdQNEYn2A6DQ00SPkw5eyP03WkmrliDVFIhzH7haWRFuQFSUauoUT4sU2YqmTLU8NuJzf7cyuNBm7Kh2E9w_rwJBA1AU0tv07bLrVCt6hyphenhyphen33oigWUiLy5rG9E/s320/DSCN4542.JPG" /></a> Back-view of the HMAS Galliant, showing the reduced hull, the rear door and the nose-mounted heavy bolter.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ZcaN3Qkj6V0vqTc5PiF6bLZUv8w5qLdaw7dm3OM1oJNMSlGfb2s11XDcVi7nyupSUKC_xpoWBjcAY_IT0HjTVaOvX7oW17KidBgxtJq__iKeJmHxNb_0yv2wqbmeG01VGVEgk3W4vJY/s1600/DSCN4548.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512010297192823298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ZcaN3Qkj6V0vqTc5PiF6bLZUv8w5qLdaw7dm3OM1oJNMSlGfb2s11XDcVi7nyupSUKC_xpoWBjcAY_IT0HjTVaOvX7oW17KidBgxtJq__iKeJmHxNb_0yv2wqbmeG01VGVEgk3W4vJY/s320/DSCN4548.JPG" /></a> Detail of the Nose-Mounted Bolter.

Gravis or Crazy Red Praetorian) that field the Valks, but to me the Valkyrie does not quite have that "Praetorian" feel to it. Just too high-tech, IMHO.<br /><br />But what is a Praetorian Officer to do? (Especially one such as I that has limited funds). Well, I pondered and pondered this very question, with little success in nearling an answer, until one day I was cleaning out my shed. Going through some of my old gaming stuff, I happened across some books for the Space 1899 RPG. And there in my dusty and disorganized shed, I had an epiphany, in the form of the Aphid-Class anti-Grav gunboat.<br /><br />I put my over-ambitious imagination to work, and tested my meager scratch-building talents to their fullest. Before you is the result: The HMAS Dauntless, a Chard-Class Anti-Grav Assault Airship.

My name is Michael and this is my blog about my 40k Imperial Guard - Praetorian army. I do not actually play the game all that much, but very much enjoy collecting, customizing and painting the miniatures. To this end, this army does not strive to be a 'legal' GW tourney army, nor do I have any army lists. I try my best, but by no means consider myself a 'pro-painter'.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I've been collecting this army for several years now, and love the miniatures from GW; the feel and look of the Victorian / Steam-punk-esque theme is so very much unlike most of the other Games Workshop armies. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">In this blog I will hopefully provide pictures of the various units in this army. I am open for comments on how I might improve, etc.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">I sincerely hope that you enjoy this blog and I look forward to showing off my army. Enjoy. </span>Col. Thornehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14337709054042167597noreply@blogger.com0
