It's useful stuff but it takes practice to get the most out of it. I will try and add a proper wip page to my website showing how I used it.

Just made a teaser trailer for my up and coming Cybermen vs Daleks game that I'm putting on for my clubs open day.

Just need to build the remaining 40+ Cybermen and sort the rules out.
The game will be exclusively run at the Maidstone Wargames Society Open Day which is on the 28th June this year.

Progress, the Cyber Legion has been undercoated. This is a stage I really like as it masks all the bits of modelling/conversion work to a complete miniature.


And spent today putting on the first coat of silver.

No idea what to do next though? A thin black wash? Silver highlights? Technically they are done apart from a bit of work on the Guns but feel I need to do something else.

Nice mate. Totally agree re: the uniformity of the undercoat stage, felt the same on my Nort Troopers. Anyway, old GW washes: mix badab black with asurmen blue thinned down. Will give them the right hue I reckon.

Yeah a couple of people have suggested an ink wash that wasn't black. Never done that before unless I was actually trying to colour something.
Might need convincing  :)

Well Cybermen are good at convincing or if not converting to their needs. :-)

Have 8 squads with 6 Cybermen in each. 7 lead by Cyber Lieutenants and 1 by the Cyber Leader and a Cyber Controller.

I'm happy  :D

Pushing and shoving starts at my clubs open day on the 28th June.

Close combat might be more comical than desired  ;)

Here's a more menacing shot of the horde  8)
