Cheers guys! Really motivating replies
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!
