It looks good but seems more reminiscent of Armageddon steel legion than Vostroyan firstborn. They're almost an olive drab from what I remember.

Vostroyans tend to be based karak stone which is what I did. I did brown under and air brushed the karak stone kinda splotchy for weathering effects. I think it'll look more vostroyan with the gehennas gold I'll be adding to trim and symbols. You don't think it looks vostroyan?

It definitely looms like vostroyan tanks. He's just referring to how the stripes are reminiscent of the steel legion tanks either way it looks good and would definitely pass for vostroyan

They look great so far! I agree, they'll look more like Vossie tanks with the gold on there. Still, they do seem a little more yellow-brown than the old Graveyard Earth and Karak Stone I remember reading about way back when. That really isn't that big of a deal, though - they still look great! I love it when I see someone do the Vostroyans proud! I had to sell mine a while back and I still regret having to see them go. Great work so far!

What is best in life? To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. Grrr.

I guess maybe my memory is faulty I just always remember them from the article about making the ragnarok & thus their armour being more grey/green than yellow/tan.

Those look amazingly nice.



Peregrine - If you like the army buy it, and don't worry about what one random person on the internet thinks.

They're pretty much just primed black, air brushed brown then air brushed karak stone. I think they look yellow because my lighting in my house isn't the greatest.

Yeah, it's probably the light source giving it a slight yellow tinge. The colors you listed are spot on.

I appreciate the feedback. It'll look great once I get this whole regiment painted up!! A full vostroyan army painted will be a spectacle to behold.

I would imagine I would get maybe a couple of best army appearances based on principal!
