My First Pig Iron System Trooper

[joe5mc]

A package of Pig Iron system troopers arrived on Friday. It's been awhile since I was this excited to paint a new miniature. I finished this guy up yesterday.

All of the figures I received were nice crips castings, with almost no flash or mold lines. As you can see, I also got some extra heads as I perfer the more Halo-esque style. I think it is very important when painting these guys to have a heavy contrast between the armour colour and the colour of the fatigues underneath, otherwise you are going to lose a lot of that great detail.

It took me about two hours to paint him up, once he was based and primed.

As you can gather, I'm a bit of a basing minimalist. This guy is mounted on a 5 Euro cent. Most of the system troopers will fit on this coin, though there are few with wider stances who will not.

If you are looking for some Space Heavies, you can hardly go wrong with these guys!

Nice job - I like the colour scheme it rally makes the different materials pop. Lovely little minis aren't they/

Not bad at all, my only advice would be to thin your paints a touch and even though granted that Si's casting's are reasonable mould line free, there are still a few that you can easily remove with some wet and dry paper.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice! Still not convinced by the 'fire-standing-on-one-leg' pose, but a really nice paintjob.
