So, with my 5000th post I think it's time to start posting some painting pictures. Wouldn't like to have people thinking I'm just a WAAC TFG who doesn't care about the hobby, after all. So, first in line is my OOP Forge World Hydra empacement (counts as ADL + quad gun) and some other random OOP terrain:

Very pretty looking stuff, how on earth did you do the snow? I've had a quick go with some vallejo 'foam snow' and it looks awful compared to some of the snow effects on here.
Very jealous of the OOP FW terrain in general, I really wish they hadn't limited the range to 'tiles'. Just missed out on the generator with pylons I wanted and it never seems to appear on ebay.

It's actually pretty simple: Woodland Scenics soft flake snow mixed with realistic water to get a nice icy slush mixture. It won't have the sparkle and fluff of fresh snow, but the goal here was to have a miserable icy mess.

This stuff looks really good. I find that the Death Korps look really good in a snow theme. Will follow this blog closely.

WAAC and TFG is easier to take if the models look fabulous.
You can respect that a person cares enough to make it look good, at least enough to only start name calling by turn four...
All honesty: great work there.

Really impressive, some of the best snow I've seen. Was all the rust done with weathering powders? I've just got some but haveni idea what to do with them.

Painting was probably 10-15 hours per tank (maybe double that if you count cleaning up the parts and preparing them for painting). About half that is the base coat (rather simple TBH), the other half is weathering.
The rust and dirt is done with oil paints (apply dots of paint on rivets and other bits that would collect it, wipe across the surface), with a mix of GW sepia wash and rust-colored weathering powder for the heaviest spots of rust (for example, the metal surfaces on the Hydra emplacement's wall). The paint chipping is done with just a piece of foam and some dark gray paint. The dirt on the tracks and hull (if that's the "rust" you're thinking of, it's really red clay colored mud) is a combination of weathering powders, dark brown for dried mud and dust built up in the corners and on the white interiors, a lighter red-brown on the hull and tracks.
This book is an excellent guide: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Modelling-Supplies/IMPERIAL-ARMOUR-MODEL-MASTERCLASS-VOLUME-ONE.html

You do a really excellent job making sure your models look like they came right out of the real world. They look very authentic and realistic. The Valdor looks great.

And here's the full army. Well, the part of it that's painted well enough to show off, a few of the less impressive models wouldn't fit on the table. I'll be posting individual pictures of everything as I get around to it, but if there's something you want to see right away just ask for it.

Peregrine I am very very impressed. That is one of the best painted DKoK armies I have seen and I love your fortifications.
Is the ADL fort scratch built or converted from something. I see you used the actual FW hydra flakk cannons which is just awesome but I cannot identify the fort itself.
