STOP IT! You're tempting me!!!  >:(

Very nice work for a month and a half. This looks similar to how I am painting at the moment, basecoat all the colours, wash with black, wash a few other areas with the relevant wash (only the skin usually) and highlight/layer. So damned tempting, but not enough money to start up 2 armies to get it going.

Cool stuff! I should do something with my AT-43 minis.

You could, for example, give said AT-43 stuff to me.  :D
No? Well, was worth a shot!

Cheers guys! Really motivating replies 8)

These are gorgeous models, very well (re)painted; I especially like the bases, plenty of colour. I have a few boxes from this range, instead of dipping I think I may try using a heavy Devlan mud wash and then highligt; do you think that would work?

Great stuff you should be proud of these

Cheers! Devlan Mud could work, but I don't really like GW washes for large surfaces. The stuff really works differently from the Army Painter dip. On small surfaces you simply can't beat the Citadel washes, but on larger ones I don't like them as they tend to pool a lot. So personally I wouldn't use Devlan Mud on the bigger models, but on the smaller ones I think they'd work.


Is this a full repaint or just a touch-up? I have a complete Red Blok army that I've been considering repainting into something else, as I'm not totally happy with the red colour.

My "painting" was absurdly simple:

1) I took the basic miniatures from the box and dipped them. I started with the Army Painter dip on all of them. I used the Dark Tone (the blackish one)
2) After ~24 hours the dip is dry and has hardened well enough. I then repainted details, like:
-Eyes
-Goggle and gun lenses
-Skin
-Drybrush the black guns with grey (and then block in everything but the edges with P3 Armor Wash)
3) On the bigger models I did battle damage. I uses a piece of blister foam for this. I first dipped this in P3 Battlefield Brown and then stippled on the battle damage. Then I mixed this with Citadel Leprous Brown and then stippled on the first highlight. And finally I stippled it with pure Leprous Brown. On the Kolossus suits I used Citadel Macharite Orange as highlight.
4) Paint the top of the base green, add superglue and then add the static grass.
5) Paint the base sides with black paint.

Done!
