[Modern]¶
Mercenaries¶

While working on the Alternative Armies Terminators, the de-flashing and gluing bug bit me and I started to work on several other miniatures from my lead pile.

On of the group of models waiting for a treatment are the modern mercenaries from the Militia Miniatures Kickstarter. I based them on washers, used plaster of paris to hide the elevation of the integral base and glued sand to the base.

Ready for priming.

Imperial Flush Space Marines¶

The command models are being painted, here the current status.

During the last two weekends, I was also working on my Terminator models, here the current status:

They are ready to be glued together, I only need to do some sculpting work on the right arms, where I cut off the original weapons.

Last squad done. Now only the command models, medic and psyker are missing.

Imperial Flush Space Marines¶

With the last squad nearly done, and only the command models left for painting, I started to work on the last models of these alternative Space Marines. Don't ask my why, but when I prepared the other miniatures, I did not prepare the Terminators - time to change that.

The models are again from Alternative Armies, Desteria models:

I have two arm variants. One of the right arm shown below I will use as a heavy flamer. All the other weapons will be replaced, see below.

The hammer will again be given to the squad leader, as with the other models. All weapons, except one heavy flamer (see above), will be replaced by the miniguns shown below. All these weapons are from http://maxmini.eu/.

The models were delivered with the round lipped bases, which I will replace with the old style ones.

I also tried to fit the models to a 25mm base, as the Terminators in Rogue Trader were, but they are way to large.


[15mm IABSM]¶

The reinforcements are at the same stage as the previous models.

They currently have their gloss varnish coat drying. After that, the whole bunch will have washes applied.

The second to last squad is done. Only one more and the commanders to go.


[15mm IABSM]¶
South of Cherbourgh¶

This week I managed to get in some painting time on 3 of 5 evenings as well as some hours today. The result of this is that only the webbing, rifle straps and helmets are missing.

Another squad done. As with the other squad, all the exposed flesh areas will be painted in one go across all the fire teams.

Some progress on the Wehrmacht: The models got a basecoat with black with "VA74602 Vallejo Primer Black Acrylic-Polyurethane" applied through my Airbrush, followed by German Fieldgrey WWII. I then drybrushed the models in lightened up Fieldgrey.

Next I painted the Zeltbahnen, both the rolled up and worn as a poncho types.

Highlighted Fieldgrey and Zeltbahnen painted.

This weekend, the Mars Attacks Kickstarter stuff arrived, a massive parcel:

Please, someone, create a Kickstarter which rewards painting time....
