Congratulations to Andrew Johnston of UniteAllAction for winning QCon's best painted army competition last weekend in Belfast. I saw this army up close and shot a few images of it but make sure to check out Andrew's blog for more tasty Imperial Guard treats!! Below are a few images I managed to snap.
The detailing on the back of this Hydra is pure awesomeness, right down to the little custom rail across the back and mounting the gun platform on the half-track chassis.
While still fitting with the rest of the army's paint scheme (using soft tones) AJ has made his Vendettas catch the eyes of everyone passing by. We got the great pleasure to snap shots from every angle. His opponents only ever got to look down their three twin linked lascannon barrels though....

AJ's Chimeras (and Hydras) were all built using the Ork Trukk as a chassis! It didn't resemble an Ork Trukk in the slightest at first but the muted tones really suit the model for use with Imperial Guard!!
This of course isn't AJ's first time winning best painted army at QCon but hopefully we'll see him down south picking up trophies too sometime soon!!
