I have finished the Medusa crew at night and had taken photos now in the morning... the morning light is a bit blueish and different, if you want me to photograph them again when sun rises further up let me know. But I think the photos are fine, note the Ipad troll in there where one of the crewmen is browsing his facebook

Next up are probably 4 of the basic mudsloggers because I really have to do at least some of them sometime to get up at least to the bare minimum of 40 with 25 being done so far.

Alright, turns out I have been lying as I did not resist the Medusa just sitting there. So far the gun itself is done besides some soot on the barrel and some general rust. The undercarriage lacks the base (which I still dont have, some highlight and all the weathering). Maybe I will add some writing somewhere on the model as I did on the Leman Russ, any ideas where to and what?

Seems that I am somehow intentionally avoiding painting those regular mudsloggers for some reason. Next up for the brush were 2 field artillery crews!

The medusa is finished outside of adding rust, soot and the whole base with mud... so no point really showing the carriage unless you would want to see it. I still did not get to making those bases... the field guns for these two crews are also second hand and therefore wip since the previous owner had a similar color scheme (with the same problem of missing base.)

I have two news, one is good one is bad. The bad is that my opponent bailed on me but at least for understandable reasons. The good is that I have taken shots of the new painted models in the morning light!

Next up are probably the Engineers because they now fill up a troops choice which means I will be fielding a unit of them in a centaur with a melta every game! Still have to come up with different uniform for them though... so far the regular infantry has been using just the dark blue/grey, grenadiers have a camo pattern added on top of that plus have their armor black... what about the engineers? I am thinking maybe some kind of brown for at least their jacket (maybe trousers too, not sure yet) with black armor as well to tie them up to the rest? Any other ideas?

Finished a test figure for the Combat engineer squad! Managed to take photos in last minutes of daylight too! What do you think?

The jacket is brown, armor is glossy black as with the grenadiers as they both have the carapace armor. The equipment which is dark brown with the beige mask and gloves with the regular dark grey/blue trousers and lots of mud ties the unit to the general color scheme of the whole army. The glossy black helmet is of course a necessity!

Here come the engineers! The squad is not finished yet due to newly available option to equip a single meltagun to the squad which I did not realize while priming them so the 5th guy has to wait until I am in the mood to take my primer out again. The sun is really shining now so especially the metallic highlights on the shotguns do not look so well on the photos... but overall I am happy with the color scheme with the engineers looking a bit different from the rest of the army while at the same time fitting in. Plus they have provided a nice distraction from the all-blue/grey coats of the regular mudsloggers.

Next up are either some grenadiers (with their meltas being not primed as well for some reason... I am starting to think this is some kind of sabotage aimed towards crippling my anti tank capabilities!) or the company command squad excluding their heavy weapon team.

I have finished my company commander! I wanted to go for something that would REALLY stand out in the army. I was debating either beige or this. I think I could not have gone for anything more extreme. But I am happy with it! What do you think?

They look very nice, only thing that I could comment on is the white on his coat, its very thick and you can see through it at some place..

Hi! What do you mean by "see through it"? This was my first ever time painting white on larger surface. If you mean that the white is not a solid color then that is done on purpose as I wanted to do some little bits of shading without having much darker grey showing fully through. Id like you to specify the problem so I maybe can try fixing it, thank you for the feedback!
