That camp looks great. If this runs like it has in years past it'll be quite full before you know it. Well done!

So I had the camera out today to take a few photos of finished miniatures and thought I should do some of the lovely models sat in one of my cabinets that have been sent to me for collation for this year's Legacy Crew. So over the next day or two I'll post what I have so far. I think @symphonicpoet was planning to do the draw at the new year so you've got a little time to finish up a few more! I've probably got a couple of plastic imperial guard ebay jobs that I won't be using if anyone needs a prisoner or something to paint! Although they would need some TLC as they are "enthusiastically converted" 
Anyhow without further ado lets start with @Geroak II who produced this total classic of an ork. The minute brush strokes are awesome - it's like tiny stitching - amazing brush control for a really unique look.

So today lets have a good nose at the brilliant commissar from @epicsatsuma
Some lovely highlighting on this one and I personally really like the contrast of the brightly coloured weapons against the black greatcoat. More lovely stuff.

Next up we have a cool guard from @twisted moon. I think my favourite thing about this one are the colours. I'd have painted that uniform one drab colour and may, just maybe if I'd thought to do a camouflage scheme I might have added one more colour. I'd not have thought to add the bright contrasting red that makes the model pop. Similar with the gold on the visor. One reason I love seeing everyone else's work here - ideas! I also keep meaning to ask where the mini is from as they would make excellent old school Imperial Guard proxies.

^I don't think he looks bad at all. And I'm going to love the idea of him and the commissar being on the same team. (The same villainous team, of course.)

And up next we have this hot mess of a prison camp! So my own offering is the bit the models can sit in. Hopefully channeling the vibes of the old case displays a bit! Generally happy with it, bit annoyed I splattered the sky with some ink at one point, but you don't really see it at ams length at least! If that bothers whoever ends up winning it the background was just a print from Amazon so you could replace it easily enough. I tried not to put too much detail in and left things like the trapdoor just glued on one edge so if you want you could gently break it and have it flat for another model, etc. I've hopefully left enough room for models to be arranged reasonably. I took the glass out of the frame for the photo, but there is a pane to keep the dust out.
Bit of a big image I'm afraid, but I thought I shouldn't hide too much behind a small image since I unkindly blew everyone else's models up to huge sizes

i can't claim to have been too innovative - red is part of this years colour scheme: https://forum.oldhammer.org/threads/2024-legacy-spot-color-poll.37419/

it looks pretty damn fine to me.

Brilliant and what a lovely way for this year’s winner to display his booty.

Well done. I do know the corridor tiles in the lower left; got a box of them cast. Still plan to do a 3d Space Hulk set one day with these...

Yep they were from some resin casts I did in Hirst Arts molds years ago and have had sat in a box needing a home. I suspect I'd thought much the same having always had a passion for 3D space hulks (after seeing the one at Games Day '92 - I think it was). I have other designs these days I must get onto at some point!

So as mentioned if anyone want to work up one of these chaps they are welcome to one as a prisoner to paint up for the challenge (assuming the postage to where you are from the UK isn't crazy daft!).
Part of an ebay lot, whilst the conversions are quite cute (and well done) the weapons are too large (all Space Crusade parts) for the guard so I expect they might not make the final army. They would however with a bit of love (maybe less so the two with blue heavy weapons) be usable - maybe that hand was lost, or maybe you have something in the pile to swap in?
So I think our current missing in action (looking at the first post), but there is still time (when are we finishing? New Year-ish?) crew are:

I’ve been slacking on my entry still - unless there is an overflow of guards I think I’ll paint that sister of battle I had mentioned earlier, otherwise I’ll scour the bits box for some bits to make up a prisoner
