The iron man and warmachine scheme is just awesome

My guys didn't come in today =/ so much for 1 day priority shipping, I guess I can't complain *too* much if they come in by tomorrow.

So soon I'll come back. Perhaps after I get them swapped to clear acrylics I'll post up some of my zombie marines, they'll be filling in for 3rd gens at least until I've got a strike team painted.

The metal one is a bi smaller, but its still obviously an energy fist.

I'd say its almost half as big. The restic one is a lot beefier. Still... maybe passable. You'd need a right handed pistol too

Speaking of conversions, what you're calling your TFU... how did you come about that design? Is there one in the kit that I don't know about, or did you just do a fancy chop job? I did several on my corporation marines, though it's looking challenging on the enforcer with the hands attached to the heavy rifle.

Oh snap, I thought it looked too good to be a conversion but I wasn't sure

Well damn, I'm still gonna make one! Y'know, its funny... because they're actually calling that a fusion gun now... which is why I actually want to do one. I did it on the marines, surely I can figure something out here too.

Wow that is a tight schedule man! You realize that's less than 20 days right?

Can't paint that fast unless i'm doing some kind of dip scheme, kudos for your speed

Honestly it looked like there was more work put in than that. I guess washes do wonders with recesses. They look good especially for how little time it takes you

Yeah those are nice. I'm a big fan of dipping but it actually takes a bit longer than washing as you've gotta go in after the fact and clear a lot of it away before it dries. Dipping is almost a wash/highlight combo though, and it makes the models super tough.

I think I'm gonna take it slower with my Deadzone stuff. Not quite as if I were painting Infinity models, but somewhat closer than table top speed painting. I kind of got a bit rushy with my last mantic models and want to slow it down a bit. We'll see though, I like finishing stuff and adding it to the done pile

Alright, your badgering has forced me to deploy a color scheme. View at your own peril for I'm not quite sold on it!




I think it may be too bright/colorful for grimdark hard scifi. Thinking of maybe going with mid-dark red armor plates and grey/black recessed armor, will try that on the next guy.

Wow. I hadn't seen them that close before. They do look different huh? I definitely prefer the DZ wristblade, it looks like it can come out of the wrist device and still retract, the WP looks like a static fixture which quasi-breaks what fluff we have.

WP enforcer looks chunkier overall, with nicer definition on the muscle-torso-armor-bit. Looks like you'd have to be even skinnier to fit into the DZ enforcer armor.

Still both are cool, and nice paint job, its simple, but that just means you'll have a bunch of them painted and ready to rumble sooner

Alright, I think I've got the scheme hammered out. This guy is a little rough around the edges as I just jumped in and did some correcting without removing the first layers of paint, I think he still looks alright though:




And here he is with one of my corporation marines.

I was in a bit of a hurry for this guy, the yellow on the squad markings needed more attention. I'm not sure if its a bit lame to have yellow for the eyes and squad markings, but I do like the yellow for the eyes. If I do any more assault blades, I'll take another look and try to get them a bit fancier.

Definitely like the reb scheme BmB.

Is that one purple silver TtW?

Ahh nice, I've only seen the stealth suit in one of the cartoons and I couldn't remember it that well, now I think memory is a bit clearer.

Speaking of clear, BmB, he's on his base solution!

Clear acrylic disk, 1.5mm thick, to show off all of that pretty deadzone terrain beneath his little restic feet

What are you a pilot/stewardess? You seem to fly alot, especially if since you keep reporting painting stuff in the airport :p

Lamesauce on the weather. I got buried under a foot of snow a couple of days ago, and we usually get 1-2 inches here.

:( indeed! I think my guys may paint up almost as fast as yours now that I've sorted out an easier color scheme, looking forward to getting a horde of them on the table.

Excellent, looking forward to seeing that. I'm just about done with my entry for Skalk's junk pile contest so I'll be hitting the enforcers a bit harder soon. Of course we've just got the go ahead to start moving furniture/stuff to the new house so I may drop off the radar for a day or two at some point Not sure if its even wise to open my deadzone before I get set up

Ooh, I really like the way you've painted the sniper mini. Definitely fits the urban feel of the game.

Might even hit his gun with another round of black wash to tie it even further into the shadowy theme you've got. He really looks like he'd be hard to see at night or crouched back into the shadows, and looks much different from the rest of your enforcers, so I'd say good job

Interesting. I think I may have had that toy back in the day... I don't recall the tony stark outside the suit, but the helmet and arms/legs armor I do clearly remember.

If you are going that route, you may consider using the captain's open face helmet instead of the engineer helmet. Someone else has done that I think, so pretty sure it works. It doesn't look anything like stark, but for the fact that the face is showing as opposed to not.

Those are really sharp. Nice work!

Yeah mine either, BmB sure can make them shine

The look nice and dark.

Those all look great! Very interesting take on colors for Oberon.

Better late and (hopefully) intact than them sending out less than half cause they're out. I still have a few enforcers to finish here (though I did lose a torso moving house) and some forge fathers to work on. I'm happier now than I was yesterday, now I don't have to wait on the mailman for awhile. That was getting tiresome and how.

Let me finish moving, there's a not-nonexistant chance I'll find it sweeping the basement. Thanks for the thoughf though, will keep in mind .

Hmm yeah that isn't bad at all. Good work. Really helps to militarize the MvP into looking like a proper enforcer. Nice.

I like the barely visible horde of enforcers in the background

I've got a Sgt conversion with a rifle arm and marine energy fist and a missile guy. Think I'll do at least one rifle guy but now that my stuff is so delayed I think I'm gonna do 1-2 defenders for fun

I wouldn't know /woe is me! Just kidding. I'll manage, I've got some kickass forgefather specialists who may be getting bumped up the painting queue.

Besides, you've only let us see half a dozen or so there, it certainly doesn't imply the what 90 or so you have left Or is it 90 anymore? I forget, I know you had to get a bunch more from DZ.

From something like an enforcer? Council sanctioned uppercut of oppressive subjugation for sure!

Can always do both for variation in skin tone or what have you.
