Hi all:
I have started painting my Core Set miniatures and I will updating this topic as I finish new units.
I've started with the Death Dealers, as I have a very clear color scheme in my mind. In addition, I see them as the "allied tactical squad", so I wanted to have them ready first.
Here is a family picture:
(http://displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1331675309DeathDealers.jpg)
I wanted them to look like real WW2 ranges (more or less) so I have used Vallejo Desert Yellow for the jackets, with a Leather Brown wash and then highlights in Desert Yellow and Desert Yellow + white. This can be better seen here:
(http://displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1331674871DeathDealers2.jpg)
Backpacks are painted in khaki, with a Vallejo Burnt Umber wash. Trousers are painted in Beast Brown with a Brown Ink wash, and boots and gloves are in Dark Flesh with a Devlan Mud wash, and then a Brown Ink wash.
(http://displacedminiatures.com/images/2.img.1331674871DeathDealers3.jpg)
Body armor is painted in the iconic Olive Drab, highlighted with Vallejo Russian Uniform, a wash of Black Ink and then another wash of Devlan Mud.
(http://displacedminiatures.com/images/3.img.1331674871DeathDealers4.jpg)
Bases and weapons are Boltgun Metal over a Black base, then washed with a 1:1 mix of Brown and Black inks. A little highlighting with Boltgun Metal, and then I added rubble and details on the bases painted in German Grey, and Neutral Grey, with some Orange added to resemble brick dust.
(http://displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1331674907DeathDealerDet1.jpg)
In some faces I did a little wash with German Grey to simulate unshaved beards and add some character.
(http://displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1331674907DeathDealerDet2.jpg)
Finally, I painted the bazooka in Olive Drab and did two washes. First: black, followed by some lights with Russian Uniform. Then, a Devlan Mud wash. I finished adding some chipping with German Grey.
Hope you like it!
-
Very nice! I really like the colors of these guys, especially the brown of the coats. Also great looking bases.
-
Looking good.
-
Fine painting.
Good color matches.
I look forward to seeing what you do with the rest.
-
Thx, guys. I am finishing my Sturmpionieren. I hope to post more pics during the weekend.
-
Well done! The metallics on the rifles seem a little too shiny to me, but thats probably because I'm used to seeing the grayish-green parkerized finish on real US firearms of the era.
-
Ya know, with a slightly different paint job the US troops could almost be the Browncoats from Firefly!
-
Nice,like your painting 8) 8) 8)

Hi again:
During the week I have painted a unit of Sturmpionieren, armed with Stg 47s, three panzerfausts and a flammenwerfer. I have used a "summer camo" scheme for the uniforms, with Grey for the armour parts.
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1332151377Sturmpionieren.jpg)
The uniform is painted in German Uniform from Vallejo Model, washed with German Grey. Camo is Beasty Brown with additional dots in German Uniform.
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1332151377Sturmpionieren1.jpg)
Armour parts are painted in German Grey highlighted in Neutral Grey. I added carefully some Dark Flesh very thinned in the recessed parts so simulate dirt.
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/3.img.1332151377Sturmpionieren3.jpg)
This can be better seen here. Gasmasks are painted in Leather Brown with a Brown Ink wask. The glass is painted with Sick Green and Camo Green.
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/4.img.1332151377SturmDet1.jpg)
Panzerfausts are painted in Dark Sand from Vallejo Model, with some Burnt Umber for the details.
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/2.img.1332151377Sturmpionieren2.jpg)
Finally, some detail on the flammenwerfer
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1332151406SturmDet2.jpg)
And the fuel canister
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1332151406SturmDet3.jpg)
-
Another set of neat figures.
They look great.
Well done.
-
Excellent paintjob, and the orange brick dust on the bases is an interesting idea that catches the eye.
-
Thx a lot, guys! Now it is the turno for Sgt. "Rhino", the Allied Hero from the Core Set
(http://displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1332401640Rhino1.jpg)
(http://displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1332401640Rhino2.jpg)
Main colour is Olive Drab, with some highlights and a couple of washes in black and devlan mud inks. Some chipping was done at the end.
(http://displacedminiatures.com/images/2.img.1332401640RhinoDet1.jpg)
(http://displacedminiatures.com/images/4.img.1332401640RhinoDet3.jpg)
-
Fantastic work. Really nice repaints. :-*
The Sturmpionieren look scary. :o
-
Awesome paintjob and the details are top notch.
-
Thx again...
Now I've finished the leader of the Axis force in the Core Set: Feldwebel Lara Walter
For the armour I have used Vallejo German Uniform, with a wash of German Grey. I built up the Green again, and did some highlights using German Uniform + White, to finish with a wash of Devlan Mud.
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1332605489Lara1.jpg)
To provide contrast, I painted the inner clothes in German Grey with a wash of Black, and the cabling in Red.
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1332605489Lara2.jpg)
I applied then some chipping using German Grey and Boltgun Metal
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/2.img.1332605489LaraDet1.jpg)
Detail on the face...
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/3.img.1332605489LaraDet2.jpg)
And the hair, painted in Vomit Brown, washed with Leather Brown, and drybrushed in Bleached Bone.
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/4.img.1332605489LaraDet3.jpg)
-
Three more heavy armored Axis troopers: the Heavy Laser Grenadiers. I've painted them in plain black with death masks using greys.
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1332881667HeavyLaserGrenadier.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1332881667HeavyLaserDet1.jpg)

(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/4.img.1332881667HeavyLaserDet4.jpg)
-
I really dig those laser troopers. Mine are waiting to be painted, probably when we have actuall battlefield lasers like that.
-
I have finished now the Allied Heavy unit: the Hammers
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1333401450TheHammers1.jpg)
I have used Vallejo Soviet Uniform as base color, providing a lighter green tone that contrast very well with the darker armour of Sgt. "Rhino"
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1333401450TheHammers2.jpg)
For chipping I used German Grey and Metallic Grey
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/2.img.1333401450HammerDet1.jpg)
And the headgear has a simple Devlan Mud wash over a base of Vallejo "Earth"
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1333401493HammerDet4.jpg)
-
And now, the terrain pieces...

Yesterday I finished the Hell Boys, and then all the Allied infantry...
(http://displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1334004452HellBoys.jpg)

A color comparison with the Death Dealers...
(http://displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1334004471HellBoysDet5.jpg)
-
These are all looking great!
I especially like all the weathering/battle damage that you are applying, just the right amount.
:-*
-
And now all my infantry is ready with the Heavy Flak Grenadiers. Here they are...
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1334783268HeavyFlak1.jpg)

NOt the Core Set anymore, but I have started with additional units such as this Sturmgrenadieren...

I love your work on the Axis troops. Reminds me of the film/video game Hydra from Captain America: The First Avenger.

Great painting.
Most of mine, still in the box.

Time for some Kampfaffen. Very quick to paint after I managed to a suitable mix of blues
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1341607075Gorillas.jpg)

-
:o
Awesome.
Those miniatures look really cool!
I hope there is more to come.
-
Lovely stuff. I like a lot of the weathering and mucking you have done on the minis. :-*
Blue gorillas?
Oh well it works. They look great! :-*
-
They are not blue. They are so black that glow blue lol ;D
-
Not a Dust Tactics person but I must say you have a great collection of minis there.
The Gorillas rock! :)
-
And now is time for walkers. My first one is the Blackhawk from the revised core set, with some old Tamiya bits in the base. I have used Olive Green and Soviet Uniform for the chassis, with a wash of Devlan Mud all over the walker.
Enter the pics now...
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1342282153BlackHawk1.jpg)

(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/2.img.1342282217BlackHawk.jpg)
-
That looks lovely ;D
From the looks of it, I take it that the walker is only available as part of the revised set?
-
Yes, so far that is so.
-
Time for a "Pounder"
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1342282339Pounder1.jpg)

Both the walkers are amazing! :-*
Well done sir! 8)

Excellent chipping and weathering. (bookmarks for future reference)
-
Here is a very bad pic of my whole Axis army (so far...)
-
Nice work :o
The Ludwig looks very good especially the weathering.
I am looking forward to seeing more ;)
Happy Painting,
Allan

This not the core set anymore, but I´ll reuse the topic modifying the title. I have started painting a SSU army with the basic infantry unit, the Frontoviki. Here they are:
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1344093303Frontoviki1.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1344093303Frontoviki2.jpg)
I have used Vallejo Soviet Uniformed washed with Ogryn Flesh for the clothes, and Gunship Green and Olive Green washed with German Grey for the helmets/armour... An assortments of browns and khakis with washes were used for the bags and complements.
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/2.img.1344093303FrontovikiDet1.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/3.img.1344093303FrontovikiDet2.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/4.img.1344093303FrontovikiDet3.jpg)
-
And now, the Fakyeli, the assault troops.
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1344334545Fakyeli1.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1344334545Fakyeli2.jpg)

(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1344334611FakyDet5.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/2.img.1344334611FakyDet6.jpg)
-
I didnt really like the Russians when I first saw them, but now seeing them painted up, they really are pretty nice, especially the Fakyeli.
-
Lovely work, very inspirational, looking at your medium walker made me buy one for my SOTR British platoon, keep the good stuff coming please :)
-
Thx, guys... Finally, the Ohotniki squad
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1344505071Ohotniki1.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1344505071Ohotniki2.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/3.img.1344505071OhotDet2.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/2.img.1344505071OhotDet1.jpg)
-
The Fakyeli are really cool, it reminds me the Soviet Assault Engineers. The idea of a sniper squad doesn't likes me much, but it is for game purposes, aren't they?
-
They do not have the Sniper ability. Basically they wear penetrator, long-range rifles. The SSU sniper is a different unit with the same rifles but the Sniper and Agile abilities.
-
An additional allied unit, the Gunners/Bot Hunters
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/3.img.1345553701BotHunters1.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/4.img.1345553701BotHunters2.jpg)

I order the Premium version of Sigrid von Thaler and Bazooka Joe, as I had not the original core version. The paintjob was very disappointing, so I retouched them, starting with Sigrid.
Here is the original version, untouched.
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1346501766Sigrid_Ori.jpg)
Here is my new one, with just some shadows and lights in the uniform and flesh, and the hair and some other details repainted. Nothing too fancy
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/4.img.1346776492Sigrid1.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1346776528Sigrid2.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1346776528Sigrid3.jpg)

And a repainted "Bazooka" Joe
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/0.img.1346776492Joe1.jpg)
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/1.img.1346776492Joe2.jpg)
-
Some nice additions since I last passed this way.
I really like the bases.
Great stuff!
:-*
-
These are GREAT! Well done on the repaints!
