The Grymn of Vault 7 (Updated 4-17-17 tanks!)
« on: 24 December 2014, 06:20:06 AM »
So, I really REALLY struggled with where I should post this topic.  I am painting these guys in the Vault Security color scheme from Fallout, but I am planning on having a lot more than just infantry eventually, so I decided to post them here.

The first three:









The last gentleman got an Imperial Guard backpack so the he could fulfill the role of medic.  I am fairly pleased with how this color scheme is working out, and I am glad that my painting mojo has been coming back over the last month or so.  I was kind of off kilter for a few months.

I don't know why my camera will not consistently give me the same lighting when nothing else changes.

Very nice - especially the face on the second one. Nice colour scheme too. 8) 8) 8)
Colours by camera: could it be due to change in lighting due to shadows (maybe your own) or the total amount of light/range of shades changing in the field of view?

Hmm, I dunno.  Maybe I need a better light box.

Thank you for the compliments!  I love Kev's figures.

And I have finished all of the Grymn I currently own!





















And a group shot!



My next task is to paint the various vehicles I am converting or painting to go with them, and right now I am planning on using for a very X-Com styled game using the Pulp Alley rules.

THanks - I have been taking a bit more time with these than I would have previously, as I am trying to get my painting mojo back in action...

And the Grymn get a plane.  I honestly think that this is one of GW best kits in the last 10 years, though if I were to build it again, I would take the time to turn over the fins in the back to look proper.
I tried to make this look like the skyranger from X-Com.

Thanks, everybody.

So now I was looking for vehicles to add to the army, because, well, we play a fair amount of FUBAR and Stargrunt around here, and I need some armor for my Grymn.  So, I got some robots from the Star Wars prepaints, added some bits from tanks I had around, and voila!









I removed some of the arms, and I painted some parts of it to make it seem like it had windows.
