Imperial Guard – Penitents Squad from Victoria Lamb painted

Managed to get a bit of brush time in over the last couple days, and I've started the process by casting my eye over the primered minis waiting patiently on the 'to-be-painted' shelves. I've felt as though I'd been neglecting the Guard a bit, so I dusted off a unit of Penitents that I'd ordered from Victoria Lamb nearly 6 months ago and got stuck in!


Absolutely lovely miniatures, they're a good mix of poses and the lasrifles really look neat. The selection of heads is great as well, there's some really well done sculpts. I especially like the bomb collars, and the one guy with the Hannibal Lecter mask. I went with hazard orange jumpsuits, and gave the sergeant the 'standard' dark blue fatigues that the rest of the Mordian 7th wears. Easy peasy!


Another nice touch on the rear torsos are number plates for identification of each penitent (numbers written in with a 0.05 micron pen), and a few of them bear evidence of a recent whipping, which is a nice touch. All in all I'm really rather pleased with how this unit turned out, and am looking forward to trying them out on the table.
