APE HMG trooper Finished

I'm having a wee bit of trouble with the pics, so click to see the whole thing...

For my 28mm WWWII US I've decided to just finish up the 1 APE for now - in my weird war setting the Heavy Suits are support for infantry squadrons, very very rarely fielded together, so I'll concetrate on some other stuff before painting up any more.

I quite want to do one as a Brotherhood of Steel typre trooper for Post Apocalypse games... my PA cast of characters and troops is about 80 strong in 28mm now, but that's on the backburner for now.



The base is intended to look 'frosty' whilst I await the arrival of snow flock to pile on it - I'm basing all this batch of weird war as snow bases for no other reason than it's m favourite style of base.

I'm fairly pleased with him - he's not as 'clean' as I tend to prefer my finish... I think I went a little too far with the weathering but he'll do the job anyhoo.

Cheers

Battle Group Alpha

So - the first batch of GZG NI infantry are complete - they make a nice little platoon of a 10 man squadron and a 5 man sniper squadron. In the next batch I'm going to paint up an extra squad leader or two and an extra special weapon trooper or two so I can reduce the squad sizes a touch.



I decided to steer away from squadron markings as it'll be nice to be able to mix and match troopers to tailor squads as necessary. Next up I want to add some vehicular type do-hickies and a few more troopers the I'll be all done with NI for a while.

Also, as promised here are the Yeti's from green eyed minis - they've only had basecoats and a wash but they're well on the way - models like this paint up so easily.



Cheers

First 5 Complete

The first 5 of my GZG New Israelis are up - along with a wip shot of another 10 that just need matt varnishing and the bases need a wee touch of static grass.










I've gone for the fun but unimaginative colour scheme of 'Halo' - my thinking being these will work great as 'generics' - for uses in all kinds of situations.



Still to work on for the NI I've got a couple more infantry squadrons, an infantry command squadron, some vehicles (need to buy) and I think some ARC Augments from critical mass as a force command squadron.

I've really enjoyed painting these and in a week of nights on and off I've painted up what would usually take me over a month in 28mm.

I'm also working on some 'Yeti's' form Green Eyed Minis - 24 in total, including a converted 'shaman' type character and a force commander (basically a yeti cut in half and a bit of height added, and some scratchbuilt arms) - more pics of those this week.
