UCM Legionnaires - painted and based!

Hey all!

When I first looked at the legionnaire figures I can't say I was impressed, there are no facial features and overall they seemed more two dimensional than the Scourge warriors.

But!

After painting and basing them I take it all back, they look brilliant on the table and any extra detail is unnecessary.

I tried to keep the paint scheme for these as simple as possible (partly due to my general low-interest in these legionnaires... and partly because I can't wait to try a different paint scheme on the rest of the Scourge models!) so I stuck to bright, bold colours followed by an Agrax Earthshade wash.

Primer - Army Painter: Army green
Boots - GW: Abaddon black
Rifle/RPG - AP: Shining silver
Face - GW: Bestigor flesh
Sidearm - GW: Skrag brown

The bases received a lot more care and attention, as I've painted the legionnaires and warriors I've found that the basing has a much greater effect than the figures themselves.

So the bases were given coarse sand and a few 'large boulders' (read: tiny gravel), based in GW: Zamesi desert, washed with Agrax Earthshade and drybrushed with Terminatus stone, then a few patches of Army Painter's static tufts were applied.

Dropzone Commander - Scourge Warrior Horde painted!

Here's some photos of the Scourge Warrior Horde, I'm really chuffed about the bases.

I like to think the UCM Sabre's follow signposted speed limits during battle

Dropzone Commander - UCM (New Project)

Hey long time no type!

I've been busily collecting, constructing, painting, battling and crying at my inevitable defeat in the last year or so! Just no blogging - Oops!

I've recently acquired a starter set of Dropzone Commander - a 10mm scale game produced by Hawk Wargames. This set has a force of the neuroparasitic Scourge and the stalwart United Colonies of Mankind (UCM).

If you want to see more about the game mechanics take a peek at the Hawk Wargames youtube channel.

It is so fast to paint at the 10mm scale! I painted the entire Scourge starter force in two weeks! (I am not a fast painter)

So this week I've been working on the UCM starter force which I'm painting in the standard army green colours from the rulebook.

So far I've painted all of the ground vehicles and magnetised the bear APC's and their condor dropship.

Here is a gif I put together of one of the sabre main battle tanks being painted:

Hopefully I'll be updating this blog more frequently in future! :-)
