Great paint job. The re-imaginging of the Hoth uniform in more generic colours works very well.

Cheers, yeah doing them in snow camo would mean me having to change all my terrain, which wasn't going to happen...

Good work! They almost blend too well into the terrain.

I concur. They look great.

I really like the wear and tear on the weapons. Really gives them that 'veteran' look.

Clever idea to change the colors to repurpose them. Great brushwork as well!

Cheers all, I am glad you liked them! The wear and tear was done by painting the weapons in Humbrol Gun Metal then using a ripped up sponge to stipple on GW's Bolt Gun Metal to add the scratches.
