My first painting for this year, and in a few months. I decided to continue working on my mech force (which has only about 30 mechs and powered armor to go), when I'm done with it, I can start on the opposing tank army.
The big guys are about as big as a 15mm figure, the smaller scouts about half that size. One of the scout walkers had a casting error on one leg, which I brushed black (hopefully making it look like battle damage - though it's not really something you notice anyway at that scale).
All minis are GZG.
Enough talk. Pictures:

It's nice to actually see some pcitures of these. Pictures of GZG's 6mm range seem rather scarce.
-
Well, if I keep up painting, there should be a few more pictures this year :) But yes, it's kind of weird that even the online shop has so few pics. I bought most of these blind.
-
I hope you have some 'not-VOTOMs' from GZG to paint up... these are great but I'd love to see some of their 'not-VOTOMs' from you :)

I have these (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=51961.msg610231#msg610231) painted up, and a bunch more to go. That what you have in mind?

Yep... and I was the first to comment in that thread too :D!
Lovely stuff... MORE!!!
-
Very nice painting.
Living close to Eureka Miniatures I am fortunate enough that I can browse the range (whiich I did when I converted Sentinels and gun trucks for an Adeptus Mechanicus Epic army).

Lovely stuff, but then I'm biased 8)

Heh, I even have some of your 2mm stuff, though I decided that was too small a scale for me... ;)

You're a fine one to talk Mr 6mm Skirmish! :P
-
Fiddly little basterds... I was considering adding more detail, but I think not. Maybe a highlight on the orange eye.
What do you say?

I intend to use Dirtside II, and I've got the rules printed + ready to be bound together. Since I disliked the original cover (too retro for my taste), I made a new one. Here it is.

Had a lot of fun playing Dirtside.
Like those colour schemes, nice combination of the blue and tan.

Diving beetles and fatties :)
Great stuff :D
A dot on the eyes would spice things up but it isn't necessary... they look the dog's danglies as they are :D

Figures :)

Thanks! The opposing army will mainly have tanks, and I think I'll give them either some sort of urban camp, or else a basic light grey with darker grey-green patterns. Or something.

Thanks! :) The second bunch does have a dot on the eyes (and one on the front headlight). Maybe it's not that visible in the pictures. I added a dot to the eyes of the first bunch, too, but that was after I took the picture, and I didn't want to add another picture with that little a change..
-
You actually got me to look at the GZG site to see how much the not-VOTOMs mechs were... I am sorely tempted... :D
-
Yeah, the prices are evil! So little money, for so many mechs... I think I need a few more light tanks, too... :)
-
The second bunch of the large mechs is done. I switched the colors around, in case I want to split these guys up in two smaller distinct units.

Can anyone actually ID what the codes for these miniatures are? The GZG site is shocking. lol
-
Nice work & choice of colours....
GZG mech are great also for 15/18mm.
Those non votoms are very versatile minis & can also be used as Spacemarine clones for a small scale WH40K game.
Thanks for sharing.
