Deadzone painting and gaming

So I decided I wanted to do up two opposing forces for deadzone and eventually warpath from mantic games. These minis had been sat around too long and as part of this year’s goal of actually reducing the pile of shame I decided to go ahead and use two quick and easy methods to do both a yellow (veermyn) and a white (enforcer) force.

For the veermyn went ahead and decided to use the army painter method of painting. I started with a thin white primer layer followed by a regular layer of the army painter daemonic yellow. I then filled in the paints with TAP Matt black, the straps with oak brown, the teeth and bandages with skeleton bone, the chemical canisters with elemental bolt and finally metal parts and chips with gun metal. The models were all then given a coat of soft tone and once dry based with Luke’s APS base ready Mars Earth.

For the enforcers I first primed them with Vallejo white from my airbrush before being given a coat of apothecary white before being drybrush with wreck white and then pure white, the black weapons and soft material was done in black templar, the blade and jetpack exhausts talassar blue, the leather wyldwood, and the red eyes in blood angels red. The yellow is the army painter Phoenix flames. The models were allowed to dry before being based the same as the veermyn with Luke’s APS base ready Mars Earth.

These two strike teams took a few hours each over two days on the weekend which bodes well for getting two whole armies done this year! The next steps will be an extra 50 points for veermyn to make them a 200 point strike team and to do a strider for the enforcers.
