“The H aruspex has promised us liberation. Praise the Emperor, the PDF, with support from a nearby Onager, managed to stop the heretics’ charge. My next post will be of the infantry and the background for the regiment/homeworld.A firing line of PDF support troops prepare to fire a volley at hideously deformed mutants with multiple arms and massive jaws. I don't think it came out that bad though the painting of it is off a little bit. I green stuffed the fire on the top because I had extra after filling in the major gaps on the snowspeeder and instead of letting it go to waste I decided to try my hand at sculpting. You maybe asking yourself, So whats with the flaming quad-bladed axe? Obviously, that is there because it is awesome! I've always wanted to do a quad-bladed axe so I did it. Notice how he even has the black pants with the gold stripe down the side. Han Solo! Han wore the blue trench coat while wandering around the base and while out on patrol on the tauntauns. Why? Well think about the commissar as an outsider and when you think of the Hoth battle who is the outsider? I'll give you a second and while you think look at the picture. The Hoth additions are the blue trench coat and the black pants. The areas inspired by the traditional Commissar are the red hat and shoulder pads and gold trim as that is the traditional paint scheme of the commissariat. I wanted something that ties the Hoth theme with the established fluff for the Commissar.
The fluff behind the commissar according to GW is that they are seperate from the units that they fight with and so usually don't have similiar uniforms as the others.
Unfortunately, he came out looking more like a Mordian Iron Guard than a traditional commissar. I am excited about painting a face for the first time so I thought I would show that off in a close up. I finished painting him today as a way of getting back into painting before I start on the snow speeder. I had been building him in between waiting on bits for the snowspeeder.
