Reinforcements! - Imperial Guard Big Guns!

My Black Scorpions are almost complete. A few vehicles here and there, a couple of HQ models to paint and I'm pretty much there. I'm content with the kind of army I wanted to build, and now I have it. So I'm moving on to a project I've been waiting for for a long time! My Imperial Guard!

Not sure what I'm calling them yet but I'm going for a gritty, modern warfare style desert theme.

These old tanks have been in my possession for around 15 years. I bought one eons ago and inherited another from a friend. There were in a terrible state but thankfully only undercoated black. I did my best to glue bits back together and recover them. I'm OK with the result. This is the first time I've tried a desert camo scheme... It's hard to get right I feel. I'm not 100% happy but I can see, with a little effort and practice I'll get it right.

Also my first attempt at camo netting. That was chalenge to make it look nice.
