Yes, I've painted some of my WWII UK AFVs (sold) in that tan, green and blue scheme !

It's a cold, misty night in the Epicomms graveyard of forgotten threads. Thunder rumbles in the distance. Suddenly, a sound is heard. The tramp of hundreds of mailed boots; the squeal of plasteel tracks under an enormous weight; the whine of turbofans and the barely heard hum of gravitic thrusters. The whole graveyard seems to shake as the Squat diary rouses itself from dormancy and the stalwart warriors march forward again.
Seriously, I've finally started to do something for my long-dormant Squat army. I dug up several plastic sprues and started my fourth Warrior Brotherhood. I've already painted the faces of the Warrior detachment!! 
I also called for some reinforcements from eBay logistics center and, after some bribes, pulled out a Cyclops, a Megacannon Battery, A Gyrocopter Squadron and an Overlord Airship. The Squats are back with a vengeance!
Then there's the complete Biker Guild I also got from the dafrca trade and forgot to mention.
Painted force size: 9825 points. After I have finished the next warrior brotherhood (Bortherhood of the Night) I'll have broken the 10K mark with painted troops. Then I'll have to post a goup pic as I promised in a distant past.

Well, the lads need something to use for target practice. The ancestor damned Urk are getting rare and torching spores with a flamer tends to lose its fun after the first few times.

More on the logistics front. The army was reinforced with two leviathans from eBay logistics & budget shredding centre.

UPDATE:
Work is progressing slowly but unsteadily just like before. 
I have completed the 10-stand warrior detachment of the new warrior brotherhood, which is named "Brotherhood of the Night". That is because I was lazy and chose an overall black uniform color scheme. However, this is the first time I have used even basic highlights on Epic scale infantry...
I have decided to give each brotherhood an individual name and write some fluff for each. The previous brotherhoods are:
-Brotherhood of the Forest (Green)
-Brotherhood of the Ice (Ice Blue)
-Brotherhood of the Fire (Blood Red)
In the future these will be joined by:
-Brotherhood of the Mountain (Grey)
-Brotherhood of the Snow (White)
-Brotherhood of the Sea (Blue)
Plus some as of yet undecided brotherhoods.

Careful that could be taken as an insult
Seems like the Squats are multiplying beyond their natural capacities, I suspect sorcerous works.
Looking forward to the fluff._________________ I'm involved in Nunnery Practice  My latest Blog http://www.players.tacticalwargames.net ... p?blogId=8

All my Chao Forces are black, metallics, tan, green or blue-grey ... no red, pink, purple, etc. ! 
?
I'm planning to do a second Grand Battery and an engineer. The Engineer will probably be named Van Vlak or something...
