EM-4 Robots with army painter sand spray and brown  dip a fast job but I am quite  happy with the result.

those look great for a spray and dip treatment. Nice change of pace with the sand tone. What are those 2 trucks in the background?

They have a great Military Hardware look. The odd patch of Navy Grey or Howard Green would set them off nicely.

I like that.  Everybody (including me) does them in shiny Terminator silver.  The drab look is really unique.

Geez! If I could get dipping results that good, I'd be tempted to do it.

The times I've tried it, it's been a disaster.

They look great.  You should be able to get a legion of soulless automata all set to kill all humans in no time.

They have a great Military Hardware look. The odd patch of Navy Grey or Howard Green would set them off nicely.

I reckon that Hat Guy is right: just a little bit of hand painted detail will distance the figures from the dipped look. Patches of military colours would definitely look cool, but might make them look like they were manufactured by robots, for humans rather than manufactured by robots, for robots.

That might be what you are looking for, but if its a Terminator type vibe that you are going for then personally, I wouldnt use camo patterns.  I would go for bar codes or something like that I think.

They look cool regardless :)

Perhaps the Terminators are camouflaging themselves so as to better ambush members of the resistance?  ;)

Even robots need camo. Rule no one "the easiest way to survive on a battlefield is by not being seen"  ;)
