Looking forward to the camo addition. Jealous of your painting volume atm, i've slowed to a crawl.

Same here. I've fallen way behind on my painting lately, too wish I could bang out forty guys in a week plus vehicles.

I have my good days and some days I do nothing at all. Depends on how well I feel, plus add in I am living with friends, no family poor health means no job, I can have good days where my painting or construction can hit big spikes as you have seen. Those who show their work who have jobs and family have things that are important and call them away from their hobby. I have just been on a high level this past week.

Paint work that was done, but no pics taken yet, still much further to go.

Like I said to Grim, you guys have different issues than me. Just all it is.

Those look really nice. I could see them being heavy infantry in a guard army easily.

oh... these eyes are truly menacing!
i recently saw someone using the valkir with female heads from statuesque minis and made a very convincing SOB force with these... if i had the time and the money... that would be what i would be doing too!

Even with them being male, I could use them as S.O.B. like troops, but drop the faith acts and points as I am using some odd new heavy support that a Redemption squad would not field. As for the eyes, I also need to place a smaller lighter blue to almost white spot in all of them to add t that glowy effect!

Meanwhile, last night, I did ad to the command team for the Weytani Republic Platoon I made from MRM! Plenty of work to do, then tweaks and touch ups all over

Hey Vik!

Doing my usual cloth digi-camo style, with the armor getting the double splinter pattern!

Banner will have some black Aquila on both sides, with 3 small red stars on one side and a Big Red Star on the other.
The Weytani Republic desires to show it's own dedication to the cause for the Khadrovian Union of United Republics!

ah... that´s a good idea, blck blue/grey and red will work good together^^

and aa bg red one on the back... that´s fitting comrade

In case some did not yet get t see the Deadzone stuff

This guy and some friends arrive Monday



Of course I also discovered the newet Ritz cracker flavor that coincides with this guys' purchase,,,,,,Bacon Ritz

That is a lot of terrain. What colors are you going for?

Seeing as I always do the more subtle colorings, i.e. non-traditional for a series, I was going to go with painted in colors for the buildings in mainly drab grays and maybe other semi-military like colors with a few small color keying marks, rust spots and chipping, Booty Bumpers will be a bit more colorful, and also, I will make tags of the League guys I know well enough onto Booty Bumper as I know the Colonial gov and the owner will be less inclined to want to remove the tags from a "entertainment" facility

Best "Canvas" is the back of the place, maybe the sides too, this could be quite a heavily tagged building.

Rebel tags on the admin place and tower.

shaso finally biting the bullet and dong terrain...hell! about time... all these troops need some HAB´s for quite some time...

i think the modern yet blank look of the buildings suits your socialist army quite good...

as for that wolvie and iron man lovechild...?...where is that from? looks DZ but i never saw that yet....

Yeah, have to go with the plain, drab and utilitarian concept for the old Cold War Socialistic states of the Warsaw Pact era, fits my theme well.

Oh they call that one with the 3-point landing Sgt Howlett for Deadzone. He does look a mix of Iron Man and Wolverine with the red/gold paint of his armor. He arrives via UPS with the newer Enforcer pack as well as the Hulk-buster looking peacekeepers, plus the book that also covers the Asterians and Forgefathers arriving. Plus another of the glorious Keilerkopfs I have cannons for it.


Oh yeah, and this guy, Recon Unit N32-19

Nice work on the battlezones, looking forward to some more paint on them

Nice deadzone haul! The Recon unit would look pretty cool in your colour scheme.

now... that new fella is looking mean... could be a stand in count as marbo...^^

and coincidence...i just bought me via ebay 8 forgefathers...^^

Started that part, and now you will be able to see them lower down!

Yep all in the Ice Sanction colors, except the metal guy, I may do a more "Iron Man" pattern as he is a special person amongst the ICE sanction soldiers.

Ah yeah, I still have the codex that has him before the Astra Miltarum one which went over vanilla on the IG.

Oh have fun with the power suited Dwarves of space! they doo look good.


Now Camouflage on the power armor itself has begun, so now the 2nd phase

For the Commander, I decided to make him stand out a bit with a silver helmet
[/img]

Oh and started on the buildings, Booty Bumper also started the sign, the front will be painted in brighter, more enticing colors to draw in customers, also brighter interior panels.

[/img]

The back which offers so much Tagging potential!

Now it makes me want to egt the add on kits for making more and different shaped building, but I may also look into making simple plasticard hab-sets.

the camo is mind blowing... quite an eye full

and the habs are shaping up nicely too...

Liking the buildings.

But that camo...


Awesome

Thanks guys! the basic building base color is on, there are other colors that will be added to the buildings before I get tot he Tagging and proprietary alterations, after all, it is not just the bright sign that draws them in!

As for the camo, the other Valkir need theirs added, and then the darker over lay can be put inside each camo blotch. Like my Stormtroopers

Okay, I fell asleep, and the supply drop from Miniature Market of which I took advantage of their sales, and special codes and my points to keep costs low, arrived and was waiting for me when I awoke. Cats were attempting to get inside the shipping container as they like little plasticy things to play with! I un-boxed, all was there, MM is a great source for minis and such especially stateside as the order qualified for free UPS shipping.

So, here we have N32-19 a "not Marbo" kind of guy!
[/img]


Sgt Howlett, a "Not Iron Man" kind of guy
[/img]


The "Peacekeeper" they are kinda Termy sized with their 40mm bases as well. felt like I was opening a video case the pack was like that. Optional bits as well. 2 heads have a visor like area instead of the 2 eye lenses, the other option has the face plate up exposing the face of the Enforcer.
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]

The regular Enforcer troopers with interesting new parts, and a standing figure I think is the Medical officer. My I.C.E. Sanction forces just grew, These guys also came in a cassette or disc style box
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]


Just in case folks think I am merely reposing the old Keilerkopf box, I have new pic showing the parts and manual in a way i did not do so last kit. This is the Keilerkopf I put the cannons on in place of the HMGs
[/img]
[/img]


And something to read
[/img]

All in all, not to bad a drop for the I.C.E. Sanction troops plus the APC which in a good day I will spray primer the outer hull parts
