Last Stand at Glazers Creek – part 1 & 2 ‘Imperial Guard’ and ‘Terrain’
Recommendations: 1096
About the Project
This project went from recreating my version of ‘Last Stand at Glazers Creek’ to an Imperial Guard (Astra Militarum) force from the Praetorian Guard of the XXIV that closer represents ‘The Battle of Big Tooth River’. The Imperial Guard force is now complete (part 1), comprising 140+ miniatures that includes infantry, armour, artillery, aircraft and supporting units. Now onto the terrain (Glazers Creek Farmstead) which will be part 2 of this project. Part 3 will be the Orks that I have created a separate project thread for.

Wounded Praetorian guardsman done. I wish GW made wounded/dead miniatures for a variety of races for 40k. I think they look great next to the Company’s Chimera and Doctor. Will likely use them to show in game casualties amongst the Company when I finally play The Last Stand at Glazers Creek.
Next - part metal Leman Russ DemolisherLast Stand at Glazers Creek Update 24
Trojan Support Vehicle done
Added Bigby Crump the Ratling Slopper from the Necromunda range as the Company’s chef.
Next - wounded PraetoriansLast Stand at Glazers Creek Update 23
Glazers Creek Farm hands done. I’ve had these models for years, so was nice to finally get them painted. I used a mix of mainly brown and creams, with a little bit of black and green and then blues and red to tie them in with the Praetorians. Happy with the way they turned out.
Next - Trojan Support VehicleLast Stand at Glazers Creek Update 22
Converted command squad Taurox Done
Next - old metal House Orlock gang for Necromunda which I’m going to use as the Glazers Creek farm hands. I’ll use either veterans guardsmen or conscript rules from the Imperial Guard codex when I play with them in game.Last Stand at Glazers Creek Update 21
I took a break from painting my Praetorians, but still kept busy with hobby. Including building the last of my sisters of battle army (another project), imperial navy planes for Imperialis Aeronautica, and finally I bought my children some of the new 40k starter sets, so painted these up to hopefully start there warhammer journey.

The force so far, looking good I think and growing nicely.Last Stand at Glazers Creek Update 14
Purchased a six man squad of Necromunda slave Ogryns, which I’ll use a Bullgryns, narratively they will be additional farms hands when I get around to doing Glazers FarmLast Stand at Glazers Creek Update 13
Another picture of the rough riders, love these models.Last Stand at Glazers Creek Update 12
Completed ‘Abandoned Chimera’ scenery/diorama from Forgeworld. I knew I would enjoy painting this and fits in well with the current force. I painted the interior and applied additional weathering, including: sand, soot, grime and rust where I believed it would work. I like the way it appears to have suffered a mobility kill and thrown a track, possible mine strike ?, but the vehicle wasn’t immediately abandoned from the sandbags around the rear troop compartment placed there by crew and passengers as a temporary bunker. I will likely add dead/dying Praetorian guardsman around it to finish it off.
Couldn’t wait to build these. 5 man rough rider squad using horses from the Warhammer Empire pistoleers kits and Victoria Lamb miniatures ‘Victorian’ rough rider conversion kit
Next - 2nd platoon lascannon heavy support squadLast Stand at Glazers Creek Update 11
I have here another standard bearer for the Praetorian guard command squad. However, the banner pile snapped and the banner itself got wet, so I decided to do a slight conversion on the model using the Tempestus Scion command banner bearer arm. I removed the ‘Scion’ wording as well. I think it looks okay.
Also made some purchases to add to the force, including: Trojan support vehicle and 2 armoured Basilisks from Forgeworld and a 5 man rough rider squad using the empire pistoleers set and Victoria lamb conversion kit consisting of arms, legs, torsos and heads.Last Stand at Glazers Creek Update 10
1st Squad 2nd Platoon done
Next - what I think is a very cool piece of Forgeworld scenery/diorama. I bought this so long ago I can’t remember when, but have always loved it, really looking forward to paintings this one. Already stripped the previous colour and applied a base coat. Interior will be painted and I may add some of the wounded/dead Praetorian’s I have to it as well.
