Hello and welcome to Inso's World again.
Nothing has changed, outside of the hobby so I'm going to get straight to the point... I have nearly finished my Space Dwarf Project.
From the beginning, the plan was to create a range of miniatures that I could build an infantry company with... and have a small amount of support for it. That would mean that I needed about a hundred miniatures.
I have never felt that all of the miniatures needed to be unique... in fact, I was hoping to get multiple casts of each miniatures to mix and match throughout the company.
So the plan for the company was to have a command squad, three infantry platoons and three heavy weapon squads to support the platoons. This in turn, led to the following list of required miniatures:
So far, I have sculpted 35 out of a planned 42 miniatures and with a few head-swaps that Chris has done for the heavy weapon trooper, I have nearly got all of the required miniatures finished... and the ones that need finishing are just conversions of casts.
Since I last posted on here, I have finished a Colonel:

He is armed with a plasma pistol and a master crafted power glove. If you look closely at the power glove you may notice that it may resemble something from a completely different franchise.
I have also finished a Captain with a dog for company:

This is my favourite sculpt of the project and I can't wait to get it painted up... I may even convert one a little so that I can join my army myself !
Finally, I emptied my work-bench by head-swapping a few Lasgunners:

... and after a bit of base tabbing and tidying, these have now been packed up, ready to be sent to
Macrocosm Miniatures for casting:

Once I get the previous batch of casts, I can convert the last seven miniatures for the project (3 Comms-Troopers and 4 Lasgunners)... and it will be finished! 42 miniatures will have been created and turned into a range. Over a year's work! Finished...
... well... is it, though?
See you from the party table!

Aaaahh.
You know that this won't ever really finish, don't you ? My IG were a 2005 side project.
This project has a list to follow... and there are 7 more troops to finish and that's it.
There is a next project that will be for the same army... but it's for different things so will get its own list.
In fact... there are a couple of off-shoot projects planned, one for Mercenaries and one for Advisors. The Mercenaries will not be uniform so could be used for all sorts of armies/squads/gangs... The Advisors will be add-ons for the army that don't conform to the same uniforms (Engineseer, Servitors, and advisors from other regiments).
