Grymn Powered Armour.

[YPU]

Stick a pair of pins in the top of its head and it could be beetle armour 

I read this a hour or so ago and since then I decided I NEED a "kabuto bro" team for my 1/300 scale giant monster games. They could be different colours and have their own set of head decoration (horns, jaws and something else?)

YPU - that sounds fun... you should give it a try .

I'm on to the next batch of Eggs and have got this far with them:



The top three have just been primed and the bottom ones just need the highlights and bases doing.

The advent of the new heavy back-packs has meant a rethink on organisation... check out this link for more information:

I've been continuing the process of painting the platoon, without getting caught up in details (due to having NO sleep recently )... slow but steady progress:



There is also an interesting diversion in powered armour form... you'll find it here:

Yes... it is good to be back in the saddle with this project :mrgreen:.

A Flying tiger?

The first member of Torge's Tigers:



The jump pack is from Puppetswar.

There are another four to go but seeing as they are so time consuming to paint, I may limit the little unit to a total of five... but a plan never survives contact with the enemy, now does it?!

[Inso]

...and then there were two:



They are different because they each have personalised armour (they paint their own, you know ).

Very cool, I love those Puppet War jump packs. I like the differing armor patterns as well

Cheers ... Here is the finished squad (minus decals and OGrymn):

These are absolutely loverly!  Well done, sir.

[Inso]

Thank you

The Tigers are now rank marked and have had decals added to their shoulders. Unfortunately, due to the weather, I have yet to matt varnish them so they are currently far too gloss for a photograph.

Instead, I have continued with my urban powered armour and now have twelve finished:



There is more info on my blog (including a first look at my next commission sculpt):

The whole lot are lovely, but those jump packers look fantastic. 

Definitely a bit of a Battletech Clan armour silhouette going on, cool.

I love this last batch of power armors. Great consistency in the stripe patterns. Truly beautiful, and this coming from someone who has no interest in the Grymm line.

[Inso]

Cheers

They take far too long to paint though  ... I'd have them all finished if it wasn't for the camo-patterns

I have another four ready for the ink wash. These include the heavy weapon packs for the squads shown. Once they are finished I am past half way 

[Inso]

After a bit more painting, I now have three sections of troops in their correct configuration:



The top four troopers are the command section and the eight below are two separate infantry sections. Now that they are arranged as they should be, I have removed the 'place-setters' and they are added to their sections below:



As you can see, I need to paint the rest but I will be painting them three at a time so as to give me a break between painting angles. Still... on the plus side, I am now over half way! Once they are all painted, I will be adding decals and varnish and they will be able to join the NMA properly .

Just three more to go before the ranks/squad markings get applied:

Nicely done. Great looking force there. Any live-action shots?
