And now, pictures of the army itself. I did not find the time to take a pic of the whole army arrayed on a nice table, but that will be for my next game at the club. Pics are a bit big and not so good, apologises for that.

First things first, the Boss, Mr Flying Brain.


As I said before, a nice cheap toy and some wires.

Tactical squad 1: robots!













Heavy and special weapons


Normal grunts

The same in situ


The ride of the squad. I changed the design for the Rhinos and Predators. The initial, cupola kind of design, was too big. Also, the shop was out of vents the size I wanted. So I fell back on another sort of plumbing hardware...



Painting is very straightforward. Army Painter's skeleton bone sprayed on the thing. Gives a nice, even coat. Then a wash of Vallejo Smokey Ink in the recess and in places where dust, grease and such would collect. Then drybrush GW Bleached bone, then white. It is important to put your drybrush strokes in the direction the vehicle is going to go. It gives and impression of movement, like if the strokes had been caused by flying. Then you take various colors, white, yelloew, amber, terracota, black. Lots of water, and you put a dot or a line on the surface. With a dry brush, you immediately pull this color, also in the direction of the vehicle's movement. That breaks the basic color, makes it more lively, and puts these movements strokes you want. Difficult to explain, but it is a basic model scales technic.

Ok, more later, I need to work.
