Going over the top. The camo has had a coat of dark sand and the webbing a coat of olive green. I'm going to try to avoid over painting the skin, although it may get a better highlight. Also added some slate and sand to the bases and given them a coat of a darker brown.

That's really cool. I think you'll get the results you are looking for pretty easily and definitely rip through that project.

Thanks SB, the first ten have had new kit issued, the rest need their bases finishing off . . .







I think for continuity the SGT should get a maroon beret.

Ok. I've been impressed w/ your modeling and your painting skills since i first came across your work, but this is over the top. The camo pattern you did on those BDU's is absolutely perfect from what I can see, everything else is just... well, awesome, and you did all that in 9 (or less) days?

Is that gauze mesh on the helmets? Madness!

You are a machine.

Thanks, they didn't take too long as I didn't have to re do any of the skin/hair/eyes; the webbing was just a couple of green washes over the old brown, letting the old highlights show through.

Wow i really like your vehicular mods. Specifically the scrap build details on all the units (and the battledmg looks very realistic).

Please continue to post!

You just made all of my Catachan paintjobs suck, thanks man!

And now for something completely different . . . .




It's made of plaster, and need lots of 40k'ing.

Very interested in seeing you 40k up that building!

My order from Anvil industry turned up, rather liking the casts, very little flash etc compared to some.

I got the Marine scale bionic arms, power armored legs (look fairly bionic from the back), some heads and also some IG scale bionic arms.

made these:

PIP BOARs for the Ammobunker http://s3.zetaboards.com/The_Ammobunker/topic/7520630/1/

Ooh that Anvil stuff looks great! When can we see the guardsman bionics in use? I have not seen them in action yet!

thanks for the link, I will be reading this guy over and over and over for a while, best group project ever!

The mud on your tank tracks is fantastic, how do you do that?

some great updates Ash.. the muddy tank and clean ad mek raider are excellent.. as is everything thing else as usual.. ;-)

The mud on these is all MIG pigments, straight out of the pot.
I think the Mech LR will get some mud at some stage, just finishing off these bits for Ammobunker IG then get back to those Marines . . .


Both radar variants together, just noticed one has no Imperial Eagle on the front . . .


WIP flatbeds, need some sort of tow bar/thing:

Man those are a great idea! I take it they will be towed by Digit's transports right?

They should 'hook up' to anything . . . hopefully. I've made up a basic tow bar/thing and will post pics tomorrow.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Trailers are nearly done, ended up with a fairly basic tow bar. Can always be removed and replaced by something more elaborate.



Finished with these, didn't go OTT on the mud, just made them look a bit grubby . . .

Cool! Pallets are nice as well, must make some of them myself.

The pallets were made by Digits (creator of the BOAR and those rather cool track sections), I used them as a size template for the flatbeds.
He made them from balsa ( I just stained them with a thin wash), I must have a go at doing some as well.

Finally bought some thing from Pig Iron

Kolony rebel squad leaders; comes with some really neat basing detail cast into the sprue - what a genius idea
Also some Kolony rebel legs for my renegades. Rather pleased with this little purchase.

Decent haul. Pig Iron has some really cool stuff. I've see it around Dakka now and then, more recently than I had earlier. really like the different heads they make, have helped me a lot w/ my Cultists.

Stuck them together and slapped on some paint, decided to save the respirator heads they came with for some renegades. Had these rather nice resin heads that fit petty well.

Never seen many of the pigiron bodies in use, and they definatly look like some nice sculpts!

Me either, these guys I think are a new release.
I liked the torsos with all the MOLLE looking gear. Not yet sure what they'll get 'used as'. Two have what would pass for autoguns and the bloke in the middle a shotgun, so if I kit out the two autogun blokes with a chainsword apiece they could fit the 'bodyguard' slot in a HQ squad.

how are those chests scaled in comparison to guard chests?

They are a pretty good match scale wise, so would happily fit onto IG legs.

Looking a tad more 40k:

Can't zoom in for a closer look. What are those mesh crates / whatever they are made of?

Bit of a test piece for making HESCO Bastion. I made up a load of single units, which is why it looks a bit ragged, next plan is to do strips of half a dozen segments at a time.

that looks really cool! I think I need to try and make some of these!
