Very nice looking indeed, I know the scheme is that complex but can I ask which colours were used on them?

I'll ask

Just got mine today (on my birthday no less :) ).  Absolutely lovely figures.  Glad I grabbed some.

Thanks Akky!

Mine arrived on Tuesday, though it took till today to get them from the post office. Fantastic miniatures, and an amazing shipping speed. I only ordered them on Friday. I've already cleaned up three test figures. Hopefully I'll have something to show off soon.

Am glad that the "first wave" has been so well-recieved

 :)

I still have some spare castings if anyone else is interested (drop me a PM for details)....

The good news is that all of the proceeds from the spares is going into commissioning additional greens....

Next up on the todo list are some elite gas masked troopers, hazmats, some religious types AND some vehicles .......

 ;)

Pictures and details as soon as I have them ready to go!

Spot on paintjob, only the blond hair is a bit irritating for me, I always see These desert folks black haired and dark skinned...

Could just be a genetic throw backs. Like my friends kids has blond hair and he is native Mexican with a little bit  of Spanish mixed in.

Very nice looking indeed, I know the scheme is that complex but can I ask which colours were used on them?

Checked with Paul, and he confirmed the following:


Assault Troopers: P3 Battlefield Brown highlighted with GW Zandri Dust.

Garrison Troopers. German Camo Beige basically, highlighted with white.

Bases: GW Zandri Dust as the base, then a few drybrushes with white. The GW Zandri dust ties the uniform to the base without going OTT on dusty washes and obscuring detail.

Sweet. I really like the medic. That is some nicely painted white. I hate painting white.  :D

Painted first couple of mine, just to test paint scheme for them:



Very nice miniatures. Definitely need to purchase more of them in the future.

It's good how a different paint job can really change the look of these, it shows just how versatile they are. Mine will be getting painted up as security personnel for my Aliens sci-fi corporation. I can't decide how to paint them yet though.
