Krieg, Guard & Orks! Armageddon Mega Project
Its taken a while but 1st Squad is done
So been back and forth doing various little projects but I am now pretty focused on getting my 40k force to 500 points and start playing and learning the rules. 1st Squad is done pictured below and 2nd Squad should be joining them soon.
It took me an age to settle on a style for the bases but ended up using filler on them to give them texture, cork for the small walls and ballast for the rubble/stones. Went with Flesh Tearer Red Contrast on the filler which worked a treat. I painted the wall and the rocks Grey Seer then Basilicanum Grey (I did paint the cork and the rocks with thinned PVA first to seal them and help their bonding). To finish I went with some Gamers Grass 2mm tufts. For the bases and the models, I have used Vallejo Mecha Matt Varnish which was kindly advised by the lovely Gerry.
Super pleased with how they have turned out which I have found is really motivating to get the next squad done. Being Guardsman they will last all of 5 seconds on the board which kinda makes the painting time put into them seem silly but I am really happy with how they look which has been a long-drawn-out process of trial and error. Moving forward with colours set I hope to pick up the pace a little on the infantry. Got two more squads in the 500 points list and then it’s some cavalry…….and a tank!
