Neat looking mecha, and somewhat more realistic than all the two-legged ones seen in most sci-fi. I wouldn't bother with the pin wash myself; why risk damaging an already nicely done model? I've had to make that decision myself a few times.

Thanks for all the kind comments. It was fun to work on something so far outside of my wheelhouse.

My painting has slowed down this month, but I did manage to get a few things done. First, Chief Radgrad, a Deadzone mercenary:





Marauders in DZ have a slightly more regimented look than the Orks they are based on. This guy kind of leans toward the Waagh. He's also solid metal-- not quite as deadly as a 2Ed SM dread, but you could still seriously injure someone with this model.

I also painted some Enforcer Peacekeepers, this time with Defender Shields:





For this set, I went in a more Iron Man direction. The sprue comes with five shields, but only four right arms that go with them, so I have one more guy to paint.

Finally, I painted this old Citadel Ogre:





This guy is more like an Oni rather than a GW ogre, so I tried to take my painting in that direction. I'm not really very happy with how he turned out-- There were too many wrinkles in his clothes for me to add any patterns, so he doesn't really look all that Japanese. I was planning to enter him in the monthly Dakka comp, but I think I'll have to do something else. Speaking of which:



I got this Storm Giant in the first Reaper Bones KS. Let's see what I can do with this.

Really like your take on Enforcer colours.

Great stuff, JoshInJapan. The classic ogre rules. Looking forward to the original BONES cloud giant. She's a pretty neat sculpt. Haven't painted mine yet, either. Did you pick up the reboot?

Thanks! I have a ton of Enforcers painted in military green, and I've gotten tired of that particular scheme. Also, no brown in these models!

Thanks! The ogre is not my favorite from this particular series, but he is unique. I have the male version of this giant in my KoW Ogre army, but this one is a little too cheesecake for that. I haven't actually picked up any more Bones models since the first KS. There are some neat ones, to be sure, but looking the big white box full of little white plastic dude, each in their own little plastic bag, is a stark reminder of the size of my backlog...

Heh. I hear that. I pledged for BONES I, and very quickly learned to wait for retail and pick and choose from the later offerings. As for most of KS 1? Given away to friends and new painters.

I like the look of your Enforcers. That beautiful blue.

Looking forward to seeing that giantess painted up!
Not sure if I ever got around to finishing mine.

Oooh Oriential Ogre. I would love to own all the Jes Goodwin ogres, I've only got a few.
