Nice work.  The tint on the visor looks great.

Thanks guys! I'm glad you like them.  :-*

did you use some of the fancy ‘interference’ paints to get that reflexive effect? It certainly looks good.

I used "colorshift metal" paints from Greenstuff World for the visors.

Thanks for the information, I will look for those when I’m shopping. They give a good effect on reflective surfaces.

You're welcome!

I really like them, got few colors from that line. For best effect they go over black base coat. In theory you can apply them with brush but look so much better when sprayed with airbrush.

Here is space marine with his armor painted in one of those colors (I think its the same as visors). I'm not great at taking pictures but you should be able to see the effect better as its bigger surface.

6 up 4 to go as another member of my space squad is complete.

That is too funny for words (and a fantastic paint job).

But is that a semi-aquatic egg-laying mammal of action?

I must say I never seen this cartoon before.  :)

Got two more done. They both have combat pouch harness with spare ammo and some other stuff.
Unfortunately there are only 4 operators in this set that actually have spare ammo which brings them to 6 spare mags for the entire unit.  :) I guess the far future wars will be fought with laser point firing accuracy.  lol
On the manufacturer website they are called Lt. Weisser (pointing guy) and Sgt. Rowland. They are both equipped with ‘Lobo class’ powered armour and helmet, and armed with the standard KW10DU/F ‘Shard’ Assault Rifles.
I was thinking about giving the pointing guy some sort of squad leader insignia but decided against it. They already have too many officers for such a small unit for my taste.

Those look great! I like the hard sci-fi figures and your paint jobs suit them really well.

I really like them, especially how the platypus man fits the rest.

And the final two for my space squad - Lt. Col. Morrison (on the right) and Pvt. de la Fuente
As the previous pair both are outfitted in the ‘Lobo class’ powered armour and helmet and armed with the standard KW10DU/F ‘Shard’ Assault Rifle.

They actually have few more on their website so I might get the them at some point in the future but for now its a nice unit of 10.




I will try to get some group pictures later this week.
