I love that squad! The flag is cool, it's a nice contrast but not too offset. And I also like the orange plasma coils. Usually I'm a strong advocate of contrasting colours, but your Krieg have a great overall tonal quality, which I'd rather not interrupt.

I love that camo scheme, but red and orange like that do not go together imo ... each his own taste, that's why we paint our own models the way we like ehm, not how someone else does

[tempestice]

I like that becasue the plasma coild is relatively good match and is perfect with the color choice

I know people say that alot but im seriously considering painting up a guy like this

btw...do you do any highlighting on the pants or overcoats?

[Dio´Ra]

allright I took up the challenge with my crappy photoshop skills....the green one just proves the fact how much I suck at photoshop

now if you watch through squinted eyes it might appear better....

Would it be wrong of me to say i like the red plasma coils?

[tcraigen]

stay with the orange or if you need to, go blue.

[sheep]

Thanks for that Dio'Ra, I think if i were to change them i'd go for the blue. You deserve a cookie

Not at all, its all personal choice. I like them too.

As i said in the tut, i give them a light dry brush of bleached bone before, and after the wash of devlan mud. The pants are Vallejo german grey, washed with devlan mud, GG, GG and adeptus battle grey mix, and then straight ABG.

Hope that helps mate.

I think they look fine as is. But if you change em (which you should not), go with the blue. BUt other than that, they are just awesome.

Where do you get your leaves on the bases?

I like the plasma how it is, but I think blue might just be a *tad* better. But I guess it's just personal preferance.

Ace models, as usual Sheep!

[Raellos]

Orange plasma and red banner look good. It keeps the scheme very 'tight'. though the plasma could get lost if there's a lot of 'em.

[sheep]

Cheers guys. Glad the consensus is swinging towards the orange coils.

I bought them from my local hobby shop, they are birch seeds.

[Raellos]

Birch seeds? I might hunt around for some myself! Looks like a good idea.

[CMDante]

I'll say it again, but I think the red coils look great. If you did decide to change them though, I would agree that an almost white blue would be better than green.

Also, dont think I mentioned before but I love all the little squad markings and icons. Details like that really make a well painted model really special in my "obsessional for detail" eyes.

Looking forward to more mate, whats next on the cards?

Cheers,

Dante

Thanks mate Really glad you like it.

I've just painted squad and company markings on the squad i've already done, i've assembled another squad, and started work on the halftrack.

Firt off, everything looks great.

Secondly, I like the red on the plasma gun. When I scrolled down further from the squad pic and saw the kneeling guy with the blue bit on the plasma gun(and hadn't yet read the text there) I laughed out loud, thinking that the red one was of course obviously overheating, while the pic of the blue one was "normal". You could do some of each!!!

I like the fist one in the squad though. It's good to be different sometimes, and your version just looks dangerous to me(which of course suits the weapon). You could do the coils like they were glowing metal instead as you have them now, and with a "Get's Hot!" one really glowing brightly.

[sheep]

Thanks mate :-)

I've got some pics of the WIP halftrack for you.

What i started with, an armature made out of lego, i took the top bumps off with an orbital sander.



Shortened and lowered chimera tracks, plasticard top plate, deepened the turret.



Detail shot of the removable top plate.



A shot of the WIP wheel/tyre i'm attempting to make, the Largest GW tyre i can find is too small, and i'll be buggered if i'm paying $65 for an ork trukk just for a wheel!



Any way, any help you can give would be greatly appreciated, i am alittle concerned that it may be a bit big, but i'm modeling it on the MRAP/251 Sdkzf, which will ofcourse mean a biggerized Russ when i get to it/them.

Cheers

[Monsterzonk]

lol, you're mad! In a good way.

[JageR]

it's huge! maybe too huge... looks like it's twice the size of a regular chimera and couldn't that give it a disadvantage with the LoS-rules and all?

looking forward to see it finished!

[Shield And Key]

hahaha legos! i love it
