figured it out!

If you're hosting them on another site, then you need to bring up the full-screen image and put the url in the tags, if they're on Dakka then I think there is a button in the gallery page for 'add to post' or something.

additional pics now that I've figured this thing out. Ideas on the bases would be appreciated.

I like the inhuman colors. Not sure about bases I've switched tocclear acrylic.

I think I'm just gonna go with a GW textured gray on the base, dry brush it up a shade and then throw some nuln oil on it. Which means I need to go buy said textured gray paint tomorrow.

Sounds pretty easy and reasonable.

Very interesting take on the plague, not like anything I've seen. The carapace looks almost insect-like, which is unique but works well.

That's it! They remind me of umber hulks s bit. Knew it was something.

Couple more models I finished today (except the bases... still trying to decide exactly what to do). And some unfinished scenery in the last pic. Enjoy.

2nd gen really reminds me of an umberhulk with smaller arms and head. Pretty cool enforcer scheme too!

Right then, got started with my 3rd gen plague last night and then ended up doing an all nighter to finish the first one.
And remember, if you send local military to do an enforcers job... they're going to have a bad time.

That looks really nice.

Love your Green plague Squall, awesome colour combination! Your plague looks really good too Jaydee, really like the blood effect. They give me a Duke Nukem vibe, which is just awesome for a video game nut like myself.

Not got round to much painting unfortunately. Here is some WIP/conversions and a quick look at my last board setup. I have finished 1 more reb except the coat, ran out of monster brown :(, I love army painter paints by the way!
Sorry pics were taken on camera phone.

I like those a lot Jaydee

That's a nice looking board there BmB. I'd have to be able to hover it and get the old models eye view, but it looks to provide fair cover beyond daring flank attacks in the open areas.

I like the rest of your rebs. That's a good use of a corporation marine arm, I may have to follow suit. Who's the running female reb, for instance?

BmB I like the X-Men look to the Rebs. Enough that I am debating copying/stealing it.

Crap. Me too.

Keep up the painting and the playing BMB. I've been working on my plague and enforcers some more this morning, myself. Need to get some more games in.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
A few more guys I finished up today. There are more pics in my Deadzone blog that I started up in the P&M forum if anyone is interested.

Very slowly chipping away at my limited batch of Deadzone friendly models. Newly done missile enforcer makes for two. These guys are a bit bland, mostly just two colors. I need to go back and highlight the utility pouches a bit.
I'm not in love with the pose, I like the ML combined with that set of legs, but I had trouble getting the arms and heads arranged into a proper "using the weapon" pose. As it stands he seems to be lowering it into place, or possibly just moving on from a shot.

What do you guys think, do they need a stripe/slash/etc of color somewhere?

Those are the Warpath Enforcers, right? I found it helpful to have the missile launcher guys leaning back at the waist to make them look like they were actually firing.

The poses look ok to me Grim, but due to the closeness of the dark blue and black, I do think some more detail like stripes/slashes etc. could help. Lookin' good on the clear acrylic!

@GD: I found when I was trying various Enforcer schemes that a spot colour was essential, otherwise they do end up a bit bland, even if you use two highly contrasting colours for armour. I went for a stripe diagonally across each half of the chest, like this: \ / I also put a stripe along the front of the helmet ridge. It does wonders to break up areas of the model. Take a look at the studio scheme for an idea on where to put spot colours.

Hmm. Perhaps I'll try some yellow or orange here and there.

Orange works well on mine, stands out nicely.

Thanks GD and Carlos, im still getting used to painting Mantic miniatures, some of them are not as detailed as others and sometimes you have to fill in the gaps and hope that it works but they seem to be going ok so far.

Cheers BmB I've been experimenting with the blood effect over the last few models and it seems to be working quite well and being a video game nut myself I was going for a resident evil G-virus look

Also Squall I quite like the unique green look to the Plague, definitely give them that crazy mutant insect meets Frankenstein's monster look .

I agree with Paradigm, the orange does make quite a striking colour, in fact I kind of stole the idea >.> as you can see in the attached picture, I didn't want a unified look to my plague force I want them to feel like they've been grabbed from everywhere and the idea of having convicts either tested on or forced to fight the plague is quite an interesting idea.

Nice-looking Plague, the skin tones are fantastically decayed.

Did a speed paint color test for each of the factions. About 20-30 minutes a model. They look more shiny in the photo than they are in person.

Mind doing a tutorial on how you did the plague? I want to steal your skin painting.

Ok Carlos you caught me just as i was doing the next batch of plague models and I have the perfect one here although I've never really done a tutorial on painting before... but I'll give it a shot
I may have to break this down over a few posts

Ok next couple of steps. I've left half the model unpainted in some steps so you can see the difference as it progresses.

(i should mention at step 7 you need to highlight the bones and spines again, it acts as an optical illusion and breaks up any large areas of red
