Hi all,

I've built scale models (I think you call them "historicals" here, although I'm not sure how historical a 350Z is...) for years, but I'm relatively new to this miniatures jazz. Nevertheless, I thought I'd start posting my work in the hopes of getting some constructive criticisms from the incredible painters here on Dakka. As a note, I use all Reaper Master Series paints... except for the gloss black on the bases - it's Tamiya.

Here we have the Khador Battlegroup box from Warmachine. I plan on Dakka Blogging my efforts to get this beginning up to 500 points, assuming my FLGS can get the kits to me in a timely fashion. The basing isn't finished yet on any of these figs because, again, I'm waiting for the shop to get in some basing snow. Anyway, without further ado...

Destroyer - I was going for a Soviet winter camouflage look for the warjacks. I think his "pants" turned out well, but I wasn't as happy with how the big flat expanse of his shoulders look:




Juggernaut - I modified the camo look away from my Soviet source material here. I'm happier with this look, but it's still not great. The photos bring out some crummy paint coverage I hadn't noticed:




Sorscha - I'm quite chuffed at how this one turned out. She was my first attempt at "proper" highlighting/blending, using thin coats to build layers and so forth. This is probably the best-looking paint job I've managed to date, which means I'm headed in the right direction:





And finally, a family photo:



Once again, feel free to criticize away. I'm still trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.

PS. Cheers to the Dakka photodump!

good choice. I have painted up loadsa Warmachine/Hordes stuff recently. Khador is my force of choice, theres something very satisfying about painting up 'jacks.

Attempt to get this thread to show up on forum index again (it disappeared somehow)...

Edit: success!
