Those look pretty cool... shame about the 5 month wait. Glad you got them in the end though.

Gutentag! Thank you for checking in again Tyr13, and while it is a shame about the wait I was thrilled about getting the Heavy Weapon Team Resin Movement Trays so I could paint up and showcase them!

Over the weekend I happened to pass by a local "Science store" which carried a selection of Testors model paints; not having any Flat Black spray paint, I picked up a small can of Testors:

I consider Testors products to be "Entry Level" but still produce excellent results. Here is the link to the Testors website: https://www.testors.com






The instructions on the Testors Spray Paint recommended adding additional coats within 3 hours or after 48 hours, which I thought was an unusually long dry / cure time?

Alas, I was so eager to paint up one of the Heavy Weapon Team Resin Movement Trays that I allowed overnight dry time, only about 20 hours dry / cure time honestly...

As a result, the Testors Flat Black Spray Paint started to rub off when I tried to hold the Heavy Weapon Team Resin Movement Tray by the center while painting.

Soil:

Base Coat: Scorched Brown
Layer: Mournfang Brown
Highlight: Vermin Brown

Stones:

Base Coat: Mechanicus Standard Grey
Layer: Bleached Bone
Highlight: Skull White

Bones:

Base Coat: Bleached Bone
Wash: Reikland Fleshshade
Highlight: Skull White

Last but not least, I carefully applied a coat of Army Painter Quickshade in Dark Tone. Here is a link to the Army Painter Quickshade products: https://shop.thearmypainter.com/products.php?ProductGroupId=1

It is an oil-based product that "stains" as well as "seals" with a gloss finish and I cleaned up the brush with Tamiya Paint Thinner; as such it was only painted on soil areas and the photo was taken immediately after application:

Wow, as someone who is reviving his Steel Legion as well I find allot of inspiration here and excellent ideas. Thank you, definitely gonna follow this.

5 months for a delivery is harsh. My worst was when I got like 60 legionaries sent to Germany from the USA. But those trays seem to be well worth it.

Thank you so much for the kind words OtherKharon, and for checking out this Steel Legion Blog sir!




It was actually a headache dealing with the Vendor; I tried to follow-up on the order a month later by asking if there was any Tracking Information for shipment, to which the reply was the Vendor / Designer was dealing with poor health.

The following month, March 2018, I inquired again and this time instead of health issues it was depression. Finally in April i asked one last time when I could paint up and showcase these wonderful products; no response.




I was forced to open a PayPal Dispute to reclaim my Payment, at which time the Vendor complained saying it would make him look bad !!! In fact, he even asked me to close the Claim before shipping out my Order !!!!!




I replied professionally saying my client would like to have their Army completed, and using PayPal Dispute Resolution I received my order after a lengthy wait!

Although every resin product I have ordered from Models and Minis are incredibly detailed and finely crafted, their Order Fulfillment has room for improvement.





The next five ( 5 ) photos were taken in a small lightbox, with a white background; the last photo uses a black background and shows a lot more colour.

I much prefer metal Citadel Miniatures over plastic; they have a heft and feel plus are less prone to tipping over on the tabletop.

Alas the Steel Legion line has a limited range of Special Weapons, only having Grenade Launcher and Plasma Gun.





WIth the new Regimental Doctrines as well as performance of Plasma Guns i wasn't found wanting for Meltaguns, but I did want some Flamers;

I have read how they can deter Close Combat or prevent Deep Striking units, a concern for my Heavy Weapons Teams.





I started by acquiring some plastic Cadian Flamer bits; I already had one used set so I purchased two more from eBay:





These would be spray primed Flat Black with Testors, they are at the bottom of the pizza box;

I also gave the Heavy Weapon Team Resin Movement Trays a second spray paint coat of Testors Flat Black as well as spray priming some Hunter Killer Missiles:







Have the proper tools available; in this case, the Atlas Super Saw which is a hobby or razor saw and small side-cutting piers.
You may have noticed the bottom Grenade Launcher has already had a Grenade removed from the waist belt:





Make a cut on the underneath of the Grenade





Make a cut above the top of the Grenade





Grenades are removed, Magnets glued into a recess in the back of the Flamer tanks with Gorilla Super Glue:





Using the saw scratched off some paint as well as removing metal; these bare metal areas were Basecoating with Undercoat Black:





Areas that were painted black were then colour-matched again to the Steel Legion uniform:





Flamer tanks were Basecoat painted with Mechrite Red:





Flamer tanks were Layer painted with Mephiston Red, green areas were Basecoat painted with Waaagh! Flesh:





Flamer tank caps painted Chainmail, Flamer tank Skull details Basecoated with Bleached Bone:





Flamer tanks highlighted with a mix of Mephiston Red and Troll Slayer Orange:





Grenades painted Bad Moon Yellow and Troll Slayer Orange, green areas painted with a Wash of Caliban Green:





Flamer tank skull details Highlighted with Bleached Bone, then a wash of Nuln Oil:





There are colour codes for the Grenade Launcher ammunition; Yellow is Incendiary, and Orange is Thermite:

You may have noticed an Imperial Guard Ogryn in the photos with the Flamer conversions.

In previous editions of Imperial Guard Codex there was a mention of an Ogryn Bodyguard, which was realized in the form of Nork Deddog.

Originally a metal miniature, he is now available as a plastic upgrade option as Games Workshop produces a plastic multi-part plastic kit that makes 3 Bullgryn or Ogryn miniatures, one of which can be made into Nork Deddog.

Here is the original metal Nork Deddog, courtesy of The Stuff Of Legends:, notice the square 40mm Base





Citadel Nork Deddog pewter miniature on 40mm Round Base





New Citadel Nork Deddog plastic miniature on 40mm Round Base





As I mentioned before that I preferred metal Citadel Miniatures, I came across a Mark 2 metal Imperial Guard Ogryn circa 1995 a while ago and decided to make him my Ogryn Bodyguard:

HEAD 3
TORSO 2
GUN 1
LEGS 2





Pinned and Glued together, spray primed with Citadel Skull White spray paint:





I used the same Paint Scheme as for the Steel Legion; the next two photos are Work-In-Progress but the first is Without Flash, second photo is With Flash:







Here is the latest photo; I've changed the pants from Green to Tan, and started adding Detail to the Base:

After applying a second coat of Testors Flat Black spray paint and allowing to dry, I started painting the Heavy Weapon Team Resin Movement Trays.

Because of a second application of Testors spray paint and several days dry time as per product directions, the black did not come off easily as the first time!

I used the same Paint Scheme as the first Heavy Weapon Team Resin Movement Tray:

Soil:

Base Coat: Scorched Brown
Layer: Mournfang Brown

Base Coat: Mechanicus Standard Grey

5 X Heavy Weapon Team Resin Movement Trays, before Army Painter Quickshade:

Five ( 5 ) painted Heavy Weapon Team Resin Movement Trays, only one at the back has been fully painted with Army Painter Quickshade

You can see the glints of gold from the Spent Ammo Casings molded onto the Heavy Weapon Team Resin Movement Tray itself!!!





5 X Heavy Weapon Team Resin Movement Trays, after Army Painter Quickshade:

All of the Heavy Weapon Team Resin Movement Trays have been painted with Army Painter Quickshade - Dark Tone

I'm really impressed how the gloss finish appears to be a muddy, slick battlefield resulting in a quagmire of mud and death...

Thanks for taking the opportunity the check out my work, it truly is a labour of love... Whereabouts in the US are you ? I have an older brother on the East Coast by Boston, in Braintree Massachusetts.

My grandpa (dad's side) passed away peacefully in a Veteran's Hospital in Palo Alto, CA which i was a teenager so we went to SoCal ... I've even been to Arlington and the Smithsonian Museums in D.C.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, yes the steel legion truly are hardcore sir!

There is a wonderful website called " Stuff Of Legends " which has an extensive Archive of miniatures.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.solegends.com/index.htm

I myself owned the Citadel 1991 Red & Blue Catalogues, which are now in the possession of Mike who is the owner and proprietor of Hammertime Hobbies in North Vancouver, BC Canada.

I also still own many Citadel Catalogues since I worked for Games Workshop as a red shirt retail staff member, and made off with some rare catalogues as GW Gastown, Park Royal, and Metrotown stores closed.

Because I bought the majority of my army used on eBay, some had misplaced parts; I was missing the Ammo Backpack for the Missile Launcher Crewmen in two Heavy Weapon Squads.

I bought some plastic Cadian bits to complete the Missile Launcher HWT Crewman, namely the Backpack with Entrenching Tool from the Cadian Heavy Weapon Squad:




Here is the Cadian Heavy Weapon Team plastic sprue, courtesy of Games Workshop; I also used the Binoculars on a custom-build later:





Here are the two "repaired" Steel Legion Missile Launcher HWT Crewmen:





The Grenade on the plastic Cadian Backpack has been painted a Basecoat of Mechrite Red and a Layer of Mephiston Red, so as to resemble the U.S. AN-M14 Thermite Hand Grenade:

I really hope you got all the SL you need, cause they just went out... No more SL models, at least until MtO, or a plastic rerelease...

 Tyr13 wrote:

Hello Tyr13 and good to see you again! It's been a long time since I been to Austria, last time was Kitzbühel in 1992, although I went to Europe again in 2002 I only made it to Switzerland...

I am greatly saddened to hear that certain miniatures have been discontinued; as an ex-GW red shirt retail staff member, we saw the transition from metal to plastic and Finecast.
Most of my armies are metal, and i prefer the older Lead Rogue Trader range than the newer "lead-free white metal" which they switched to in 1997.

I do understand that the miniatures are now only "Made To Order" but i did search eBay for my used Steel Legion, and at this point I am fairly certain I am set;
my main concern now is to have enough Chimera Armoured Personnel Carriers as genom.cor asked:

 genom.cor wrote:
Good work here! Lots of steel legion! Love the oldhammer models, they look surprisingly at home in your army even with the old 2nd ed and RT sculpts. Decent paint job. Gritty and ashwastey. Chimeras coming? Steel legion after all.

I only have a " Motor Pool " of six ( 6 ) Chimera APC so far, as I am doing Recovery Work on them (I also have a couple Chapterhouse Studios Wheeled Chimera Kits to build):

Well, 6 chimeras should be plenty. I run my SL with just 4 (though I do have a taurox and a banehammer as additional transports, allowing an all-mech playstyle).

I hope I can grab some more SL though... currently just at 70 models, plus some HWS...

Great progress Private Benjamin.

Love the repairing of eBay models. Decent sized force you have painted up.

Those movement trays look great, too bad they took so long to arrive.

If you are looking for spare Guard bits just send me a PM. I don't have as much as I used to, but still have flamers, heavy weapon backpacks and other extras.

Cheers,

CB

Hello again Tyr! A Taurox eh, i have been intrigued by those " metal bawkses "; once i get those two Chapterhouse Studios Wheeled Kits together i could run those as " counts as " Taurox, hmm...

Banehammer or any other super-heavy tank is something i have not invested in yet; I've been just trying to fulfill the basic requirements to field a small Steel Legion force!


Using the Astra Militarum 7th Edition (and previous rules) I can field two Infantry Platoons, each with two Infantry Squads.

Using the new Astra Militarum 8th Edition rules, I've got four ( 4 ) Troops choices and a whack-ton of Elites; also, the Heavy Weapons Teams now count as Heavy choices...


So far, I currently have over a hundred individual Steel Legion troopers; although many of the Heavy Weapons Teams are a single 60mm Round Base with two Crewmen, I've tried to make the crew removable for keeping track of Wounds.

Here are a couple of Steel Legion Heavy Heavy Weapons Teams that I have applied Magnets so that the Ammo Loader can be removed for Wound Tracking.

2. Steel Legion Heavy Bolter Heavy Weapons Team, Wounded

So good to hear from you Captain Brown, i read how you were involved in a move; I was wondering if you were taking a break?



Thank you for the comments, the movement trays do look quite good. I had always used home-made plywood movement trays prior to Games Workshop making plastic movement trays.

Having played Warhammer Fantasy Battle, I appreciated the fact they were lightweight, had " lips " on the front and sides to prevent miniatures from slipping off, and fairly inexpensive.



With Warhamer 40,000 miniatures, I was looking for a similar way to rank up and co-ordinate units, so I researched both MDF as well as resin Movement Trays;

although MDF is cheaper and more readily available, resin movement trays offered more detail and were thinner. However, i am aware than resin can also be more delicate.

Ultimately, I would like to build a 2' x 2' " Armies On Parade " board for the Hive Ganger Steel Legion Army!



I greatly appreciate the offer of spare Guard bits sir! I had been hunting around for this & that as I finished up some miniatures, such as the Steel Legion HWT Missile Launcher crewmen with backpacks I posted earlier.

In addition to the Cadian Heavy Weapon Squad bits, I hunted down the Cadian Command Squad Vox-caster right arm so as to complete a Steel Legion Missile Launcher that was missing the Missile Launcher arm!



The next two pictures are courtesy of Games Workshop; first is the Cadian Command Squad sprue:





Here is the Cadian Vox-Caster showing the right arm:

Cool Stuff !

Really like the blue color scheme for the heavy weapons- very striking and a nice contrast to the otherwise drab (and very real world) uniforms and muddy terrain. The green is well done, but the blue really gets me.

Here is the latest photo of my Hive Ganger Steel Legion PDF army with a total of 120 individual miniatures:

There are two new recruits at the rear of the Army; in the Company Command Squad just beside the Tardis, I have added an Astropath and Master Of Ordnance:


The Master Of Ordnance is another Rogue Trader era Imperial Army metal miniature, "Comm. Officer Schmidt".

I had used "Comm. Officer Schmidt" in another CCS as a Master Of Ordnance, so it seemed like good continuity;

the Imperial Army trooper with the Ork head, "Trooper Jones" would be a Crewman on a Rapier Laser Destroyer heavy weapon platform as he has a set of Binoculars:





I am using a Psyker "counts as" Astropath; as a more recent metal sculpt, it is available on the Games Workshop website as "Sanctioned Psykers",

Here is a link to the Sanctioned Psykers or "Wyrdvane Psykers" on GW's website: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-CA/Imperial-Guard-Sanctioned-Psykers





Psyker spray primed with Citadel Skull White, staff Basecoat painted with Chaos Black; Master Of Ordnance is bare at the moment:





After basecoat painting; the weird looking front to the Psyker is due to mis-cast miniature:

Huh. If its miscast, why didnt you exchange it? Or fix it with GS or something at least?

Love your color choices and the classic style. That Ogryn is a work of art.

Hello again Meer_Cat and thank you for the C & C !!! I used to be a professional house painter, and it never occurred to me that certain colours "pop" or appear more vibrant when placed alongside others.



I knew that opposing colours on the "Color Wheel" could be used to make certain contrasts, such as how Green is across from Red, but I did not know it was called "Complimentary" colors.

I did know that painting a lot of red & green may look too "Christmas-y" and that other complimentary color pairings such as Blue / Orange or Yellow / Purple can be challenging also.



Ultimately when I was completing the Steel Legion Heavy Weapons Squads, I did a Google search for "Color Wheel" and was surprised to find out I had painted using "Complementary":




As i painted the Steel Legion with the older Citadel Foundation paint range Iyandan Darksun, i searched for a compatible alternative and according to the Paint Range Compatibility Chart, Averland Sunset was recommended.

Personally i find Averland Sunset to have too much red tones in it, making it too "orangey" instead of the paler buff mustard-yellow I prefer for the Ash Wastes so I highlighted Averland Sunset with Bleached Bone.



I had used Blue in the Cockpits of my Flyers and I noticed the contrast looked very sharp while not distracting from Cockpit Details such as Instrumentation and the Pilots;

even painting personnel and Equipment blue such as Officer Of The Fleet, Master Of Ordnance, Vox-caster and Binoculars make them stand out!



Green has been something i've tried to perfect over years of painting Imperial Guard, from Infantry to Armoured Vehicles (Walkers as well as Tanks) to Flyers!

I also knew the Steel Legion would have insignia of a Red lightning bolt on a White background, so I didn't want any other color to confuse the eye of the viewer.



These two colors produce the maximum contrast and give a very dynamic and vibrant look to your painting:




As a result of good color theory, washes & glazes, harsh edges or transitions were masked or reduced. Also the washes gave a unified look with a grimy, drab battlefield look that you mentioned!

In fact, to answer a question recently posed:

 Tyr13 wrote:

Hello again Tyr! Unfortunately I pulled the Psyker out of storage and can't remember how and when I acquired the miniature...

Alas my local hobby store is sold out of Green Stuff, although I have used Squadron Modelling Putty in the green tube i am curious to try out Citadel Liquid Green Stuff.

All i have right now is some 10-year old Milliput, but i have concluded that i'm pretty lazy and would rather show off a miscast that doesn't look that bad, like a bullet-ridden coat...






Here is the Sanctioned Psyker, Master Of Ordnance, and Steel Legion Conversion after washes and adding Base Detail:

Thank you very much kestral for checking out the Color Theory and the kind words sir! I hoped that a palette of interesting color choices helped differentiate my army from the typical Steel Legion out there!

The Ogryn could have been better had I thinned down my paints even more; I did enjoy painting skin tones more than I thought!

Next to finish is the 40mm Round Base for the Ogryn and a 60mm Round Base for a Rapier Laser Destroyer.

With the addition of new recruits, it was time to re-assign members of the Company Command Squads.

Citadel Miniatures produced a Cadian Commander, which I have as "counts as" Officer Of The Fleet:

Hello and greetings from another Commonwealth country, Canada! It has been a great many years since I visited the UK but I even brought back Beano books!

Thank you for the kind words and checking out this Blog! I've seen your wonderful assortment of work, very original and creative!!



I mentioned having to finish a 60mm Round Base for an Imperial Guard Rapier Laser Destroyer, two of which can be seen in the Army photo in previous posts.

There are three Rapier Laser Destroyers versions; first two variants are cast in metal, with the third in resin from Forge World.

Very cohesive looking and good use of color theory to get that pop! Nice to see some Chimeras are enroute as well, im looking forward to seeing how you decide to dress those up. Have you pointed out your army list yet? Id be curious to see what you've got so far. Planning on picking up Old man Yarrik or a Baneblade? Keep up the good work Private!

Love seeing the rapiers going into action- there's no school like the old school!

And painting the Cadian Commander up with the right colors absolutely makes him an Officer of the Fleet- who carries a cutlass into battle other than those guys?!
