In colors appropriate for Mars Image 1st H/W Det. Image Image 2d H/W Det. Image Image 3d H/W Det. a little different than the others ... the 'bots are Exodus Wars, some upgunned with Kamikazi Drones on shoulders, some with Sevitors cut from Brunhildas mounted on the back ... Image Image Image Image Image Image

Looking Good L4! I'm still working on mine. So far they have some coats of red on them. There a pain to paint sometimes. How did you paint yours? On the Stand? Cuz my didn't come on spure's like I normal paint mine.

Thanks Angel, I literally filed each of the figs round bases to insure they fit the holes on the G/W bases. Then using "Sticky Tack" on top of old paint bottles, painted each figure that way. All at the same time, save for the 'bots ... Did a batch before and the E/W after ... And of course I use a lot of G/W Washes & some Wonder Wash ... Really works well on small figures ... BTW ... here's what the Brunhildas look like with the Sevitor removed and armored cab look like ... I did these before the 'bots. And I had the "severed servitors" in the bitz box ... waiting for use. And the E/W Driods with the AM seemed like a good place ... ;D Image

I didn't even think if I needed to file them to fit. *Slaps Head*

Right now I have them lined up on Popsicle sticks held on by sticky tact to paint. I primed them the same way, how did you prime yours? On the bottles?

I have most of the old GW washes and glazes but I use them sparingly. Haven't tried the new ones. What is Wonder Wash? I may have to google it.

I just don't enjoy painting 6mm Infantry. lol. But I think I need to more packs of these guys. *Sigh*

Your Brunhilda's look nice. What are you going to use them as in the AM list?

Yes, I filed them to make sure they'd fit and knew I was going to paint the unbased. I just base coated them with brush on rust colored enamal. Then used G/W's Foundation Tallarn Flesh. I ways base paint metal models with enamel. Otherwise I only use water base for every thing else. The Armored Brunhildas are with my DKoK for Artillery Tractors to tow their artillery ... I love the new G/W Washes, and Wonder Washes are similar, but I'm really sold on G/W's. Yes, you can find Wonder Washes online. But I'm sticking with G/W's for once. I'm going to try Vallejo washes too ... I do like painting 6mm infantry ... but it is time consuming and takes a bit of patience as much as skill ...

Turned out pretty good. I see you went with the spear men in the middle too. Helps keep their little weapons from bending.

As usual ... Many Thanks Amigos !! Yes, I put the Cdrs/Ldrs with Staff Weapon in the middle if I could for both reasons ... that's where I normally place Cdrs, and their staff is less likely to get bent ... ;D
