Two snipers are better than one

I've done some of the green stuff work on sniper 1. Just the basics, blocking in gaps and preparing the hat. No detail work yet, but I like how it's coming.

Also started work on sniper 2. This guy is getting himself into position. I'm already halfway there with his scenic base, but want to finish it a bit more before showing it. Should come out ok I hope

Project Overview

The Medic I did for the WIP competition was the start of my new guard army. Having sold off my tallarns I thought it would be a good idea to finally start putting together the hordes of cadians I have kicking around. So with the Medic setting the feeling I wanted to continue that with my next piece.

I decided to do a sniper, simply because I wanted to have another go at a conversion piece and it seemed to offer a bit of scope. If you’ll pardon the pun.

A beginning

Right I've started with the sniper rifle, since if I couldn't get one looking like I wanted it to there wasn't much point looking at the sniper himself. The rifle is pretty much there. The body is from a bolter, the butt is just a lasgun one, then the barrell and stand are plasticard/tubing. Oh and the scope is half a set of IG binoculars. Needs a little cleaning on the cut side, but I like the effect.

I have since started the model, but not a lot to show yet. Legs are positioned and neck position sorted. For a change I'm making this guy left handed, which may or may not prove to be problematic.

Still haven't decided how to base him. I was thinking of putting him amongst some dead bodies, sort of laying out of view. But I figured since my army is a desert army rather than an urban one that might not work. Right now I'm torn between part of a burnt out vehicle or some sort of rock formation. See what I reckon.

Going to use the same cap as that on my medic, but turned backwards in pseudo-macho swat style. hut hut hut.

Promising so far I think.
