Hey everybody
I am new to the game (used to play years ago, but this is my first army I own)
So I decided to make them Evil Sunz
I am using mainly washes to paint these models on a white primer
The Trukk and the kannon are scratch builds (got tired of waiting for my Battleforce and other stuff to come so i builded my own)
This are my first ever models that I have painted, so I hope yall like them

Pretty cool, nice job.

I think I just need to highlight the nob with the claw a bit, I made him way to dark =/

They are very good for a first attempt, heck you are doing better than anything ive ever done

I am using a technique that I saw on a youtube video and a post on warseer about painting models using mostly washes. I didnt have any experience prior with painting, but I did my research before painting them
I cant wait to get my nezt batch of models
I will post an update when I get them and paint them

I am using a technique that I saw on a youtube video and a post on warseer about painting models using mostly washes.

do you have the link? what type of washes were you using?

Here it is
I use the following paints
Beil-tan green, evil sunz scarlet, leidbelcher, runesilver fang, abaddon black, nuln oil, angrax earthshade
For the bases I used superglue, soda bolicarbona to get the texturwle and kitty litter (clean ofcourse) for the rocks. Now I only need to put some patches of grass
I started using the GW white spray primer, but since I ran out and I need to travel 300~km to Greece to get another (there is no shop that sells any gw products here in Macedonia) I tryed alternative ways of primering ( got a can of Molotow spray and it works great)
Hope it helps

Very nice, i really like the scratch builds. Keep up the good work!

Great job, really like how the red is not overpowering like on most Evil Sunz armies.

They look excellent, not too flashy but at the same time they aren't dull either.

Wow coming along nicely for a first timer! Keep it up and you'll soon be in the top tier mate! God job!

Thank you guys
Now I am saddened that I dont have more miniatures to show you for some time :(
Maybe ill start working on a second scratchbuild trukk these days

Cant you order online?

I cant
Spray primers cannot be ordered online from Macedonia
But this alternative I am using is just as good if not better imo

Edit:
Here are some closeups on the scratchbuild trukk

It is an older picture since I changed the Reinforced Ram upfront with a new one (will post one more shot with the new front bumper asap)
I have yet to get a driver and a gunner in but thats something i see as a separate thing, since I can put a regular big shoota boy in the cupola I built in
(p.s. yes it sais "Dakka Dakka" on the Gunner Cupola )

Ahh thanks mate that is an awesome tip i might try some of those next time

SPRUE TRUKK! I love it really looking wicked. what did you use for the wheels?

And the boys, for mostly washes the technique has worked wonders. They have a level of detail without requiring you to spend hours and hours per model I imagine They look suitably orky and dirty.
Keep up the work mate and keep posting

Looks good for your first go around!

Thank you guys so much

The wheels are from a toy car I got for 2-3 bucks in some random store. I was looking for apropriate size, then I worked on them a bit so they can be apropriate for the trukk (primed it and painted it, glued a metal rod to conect them at the apropriate distance from eachother, and mounted them on the trukk)
And yes I painted a box of boyz in just a few hours

Also i forgot to mention before, the trukk is on scale with the GW trukk almost perfectly, except for the length, it is 1.5 cm longer
