[Warfork 40.000 - Rogue Rules]¶
Orks Marauders¶
The first 15 Orks are done. I painted them in groups of 5, taking 5 random models ignoring the final mob composition (marked on the underside of the base), to get total random composition colourwise of the mobs at the end.
Each group of 5 was painted with a different green skin tone (these three will be used across all the models).
As the dark shade will just make the metal darker, but will not add brown tones to simulate rust, I painted the first group's metal areas with Air Colour Rust first, then metal on top, leaving the rust show in the recesses - but this took to long, after all I want to quickly paint them. Starting with the second bunch, I painted all metal areas in flat silver, then added blotches of brown washes to simulate rust - this was much quicker.
With these models I left the basecoat brown on most parts of the models. With the next groups, I will add one more brown tone to each group, painting random clothes to get more variation on the Orks.
The miniatures are done as they are now, except the Quick Shade and the back plates. The back plates (and some checkers or triangular patterns here and there) I will paint after all models are brought to this stage; then by mob. The idea behind that is to have everything randomized, except the mob markings.
I hope I can keep the momentum I managed so far, then the Orks will be done until Christmas :-)

Squat Steam Rollers¶
I started to work on the last of my teams, the Squats. In contrast to the first three teams, I will work on all of them simultaneously instead of in groups.

Squat Steam Rollers¶
I applied all the basecolours, now shading and highlighting can begin. The metallic blue and brass armour varies with every model, no two have the same armour areas painted in the same way.

Colonists and Vehicles¶
Next project up are some additions to my 15mm colonists. I received an order from Ground Zero Games a couple of days ago, including 4 trucks for them. As a Christmas present, John included some freebies, which provided me with 8 new colonists - thanks a lot John :-)

Colonists and Vehicles¶
I built all the trucks, hid all seams/holes with Miliput and used some kind of plaster to hide the integral bases of the colonists.
While building the trucks, I noticed that one fender is missing. I will ask John to include one with my next oder with him.

Private Military Contractors¶
I bought these models in February, after seeing Outpost. Although I was a bit disappointed by the film (the characters don't actually do anything in the film, they just react to enemies they cannot harm), the setting was to my liking, and of course (as happens so often after watching a movie) I bought some miniatures to recreate the film (in a 'better' version) on my tabletop. Only seven months later, and I started to work on them...
I plan to have the group looking similar to the mercenaries in the movie, which were "ununiformed". Every member wore different camouflage clothing and used different weapons. My group will look like this, they will not all wear the same uniform and the same equipment. What did not make sense in my mind is the fact that the mercenaries in the movie also used different calibers. My group all use 5.56mm except the FN Scar and R870. Should make logistics much easier, as well as proof useful in combat, when one member runs dry...
These models are Private Militars Contractors from Eureka Miniatures.
These models are German Bundeswehr, also from Eureka Miniatres (left, center, right).
When purchasing them they looked good, now I need to say that I will probably not use the MP-7 armed model, as it seems to be wearing a winter jacket, and just seems too warmly clothed when compared to the rest of the models.
The last two models are from Hasslefree Miniatures, Freak and Bergil.
They are supplied with backpacks, but as they would have been the only models with them, I did not glue them on.
I scored their backs and will sculpt the backside of their protective vests.
When ordering the minis, and having my mixed equipped troops in mind, I had too many M4s. The Bundeswehr troopers and the Hasslefree minis bring some variation, but still. Therefore I also ordered:
from Hasslefree.
Some of the M4s need to go. Additionally, too many models are wearing base caps, so some of them also need to go. They will be replaced by the boonie being worn by the KSK Sniper. So I started to happily mistreat some models:
The Bundeswehr radio operator lost his head, and will receive one of the base cap heads, to make him overall look less Bundeswehr.
As mentioned above, I want to distribute some boonies among the models. I bought some time ago Instant Mold, but had no chance so far to use it; now needing to reproduce some hats it comes in handy.
Next I need to glue in the G36Cs and the SA-80s, as well as cast and glue on some boonies.
