This gives a good idea as to how and where these are going.
Thanks Dave, same thing about that Harrier-Bomma of yours.

Really liking the look of the Kolossus Walkers. They are looking nice repainted. I've got a trio of them to be used as dreadnaughts -a bit small, but not too bad- along side my Spacelords Sardaykin Legionaires.

Oh the last run of GW before this new stuff came out, it is simply labeled gunmetal and is about all out. I have Mithril silver left and will have to find new metals like this Dave.

I am using them all as souped up sentinels with a higher base cost due to being able to have 2 main weapons, so 60base as the second hardpoint, then the costs of the weapons as in the codex. Of course if used in other games, they will also be usable as generic walkers/legged tanks.

I like how the walkers turned out. And something just hit me... I go for a similar camo-pattern like yours on my vehicles. But I use Codex grey and Bestial brown with a thorne-like Black stripe to separate the colors.  Very much like your pattern acctually... :/
Anyway, great job with them and the greatcoats!

Thanks DiDDe. Yeah a basic three tone camo I could have gone for a 4th color, but it would have been a bit over much.
Now to piant one more coat of red, do the attachments to their belts, and give ranks to the sgt's

Once you add the silver, lightly highlight the paint on ONLY ONE outside paint edge of the scrapes, it will give it a nice 3D effect

So, about over 100 of the WF GC's, I have over a platoon ov Vostroyans, same with Cadians, some Valhallans mixed in, and now about 100 UAMC troopers. so I am guessing nearly 400 soldiers? Maybe 350? Support weapons, command squads, and all that. plus snipers. then the 16 walkers, and all the superheavies/tanks/APC's, and tractors with artillery and SPG's

Looks great! However for the highlight I meant the red or blue paint that was scratched, add a thin line of lighter red or blue on that paint edge (next to the rust) and watch it pop. Maybe give those scrapes a black or brown wash to tone them down a bit.
