Thanks Ulric :-)

I fixed it! As promised here's my How To:

MoK's Messy and Modern Imperial Guard Macharius': How To.

1: Aquire yourself a lovely looking metal miniature tank: try water mammalian gift shops. Stick it on a FoW medium base, texture that base with coarse pumice, and then spray the whole thing Army Painter Uniform Grey and then drybrush a lighter shade of grey

2: Appropriately thinned Wash of Charadon Granite:

3: Pick out details in block colours (metal areas, green fuel tanks, dark metal tracks, off black mechanical parts) and wash as appropriate: Badad Black and Mig Dark Wash

4: Apply weathering into crevices using white spirit thinned sienna oil paint

5: Apply rust pigment to tracks and seal in place with white spirit

6: Rub graphite pencil over the tracks, drybrush black on the end of the barrels, add unit, company and platoon markings, make base pretty with dark brown, drybrushed light brown, then given a coat of army painter mid brown dip. VARNISH YOUR MODEL!!! (or the weathering will...erm...weather!)

7: Go down stairs, make a cup of tea, fix the punctures from last week, then go play Bicycle Polo (don't forget your hard hat...)

Progress is currently being made on the remainder of Aprils batch plus the start of May's: to catch up I'm doing them all production lined.

Thanks dude :-)! Yeah, the whole process is suprisingly easy for the reults that it brings, admittedly it took quite a bit of experimentation to get the exact method down for these but I feel I could happily transfer the general idea to other miniatures now.

Should get some more bits and bobs done by next weekend.

At first I thought, "He's making that up", then I realized you weren't. I wonder when that will make it to the Olympics.

I'm aware of that. It still seemed a bit too insane for just a second.

I managed to paint 375pts worth of infantry! Man, this is going slow! But there's over 1k just sitting on my workbench more than half finished!

Krieg Engineers/Steel Legion Stormtroopers:


(I used a few old GW guardsmen I had lying around, added a missile launcher pretending & an artillery loader and now I pretend that it's a mole mortar team!)

Baran Infantry Platoon Upgrade (75pts!)


I don't think I can rightly justify adding the points for the Psyker upgrades if I was to use them as Cadians!

And finally I know someone out there was looking for closeups of various IG proxy infantry so here's the best I can do with Exodus Wars Trench Troops

Gorgonzola Carriers:



Bombards (has anyone else got resin copies of this that seem to have lost details at the front?)



Texan unARMA'd Artillery



75pts worth of Tankettes!
