Raising a regiment.

So after being inspired by a co-wargamer Terradax, I was brought back to pastures green with the intent to finish my second platoon.
Using the west wind heads for the British feel I loaded them down with West Wind German re-breather back packs and as much extras as possible.













Taking inspiration from the British Expeditionary force uniform, I gave up on using all GW paints and tried finding a more realistic tone for the fabric parts. P3 paints ( I used Gun Corps Brown) may be thin, but they coat like foundation paints and when you are in a rush flatten really nicely. Wasn't too worried about the coverage as I would be doing at least two coats.
The armour and "hard" materials like the lasguns etc I used normal Catachan to tie it in with the rest of the army. Infact, the only other non GW paint I used was a last minute decision for P3's Battle Dress for the Khaki fabrics: Pouches, belts etc.


























Although I managed to nearly finished squad 1 and the autocannon squad, I decided to follow in my good rival/buddy Terradax to paint using the "Andreas" model. Basically, I'm painting the entire platoon coat by coat. A massive discipline pain but gets stuff done quickly.













Once the platoon is finally finished, I can finally work on the next part of the army.
The Panzas!!
