How they were painted

The army were painted with Citadel colours. I worked with a grey/armygreen/black colour scheme; so that the Militia had more grey on them, the Hussars had grey and black armour, and the Dragoons had black armour. Some details were emphasised in red or Bauhaus blue/yellow.
To paint that many miniature, I made a plan to minimise the need for corrections; For the green I used the old Dark Angel Green, mixed with grey to get the right dusty army-green, with more grey mixed in for a drybrush highlight. The grey were Shadow Grey, with grey/white drybrush for highlight. The 'black' armour parts were a almost black grey made of Black and a little Shadow Grey. All metal was a chainmail drybrush on black. To be sure I did not paint in areas that were previously painted, I did not use any more drybrush, since that tend to get messy. Leather were painted light brown, with either a brown or a black ink wash. I tried to make the leather more realistic, and making a black outline in one go.

Bauhaus Militia. In the boxed set one would get forty of these fine guys. I painted them all in a vacation; it took me two weeks full-time to do the job. It is quite boring to paint that way, so I solemnly swore that I would not drop the brush, until I was finish with a colour on all forty.

Militia Chain Gun Team.

Hussars. To have forty militia is ridicules, so I converted one ten-man squad into Hussars, by trimming down their backpacks, glue on a gunholster, and paint the shoulderpads and helmets black.

Mounted Hussars. They were one of the reasons I those Bauhaus. The armours are painted wrong, and should have some black on them.

Dragoons. The uniform is still green, but the armour are wholly black. The bedrolls are painted Sand like the previous units, to link them together.

Jeagers. I think these miniatures are brilliant made; detailed, and yet easy to paint. To give them a 'Jeager' theme, I painted them in two tones of green, and gave them some camouflage on their bedrolls.

Etoillas Mortant. To bad they all look the same in the face; but the flamer is very nice indeed. I painted them wrong, though. They do not look as cool as they should. I should have painted them a dark blue/black SWAT colour-scheme; ready for some quick knifes in the dark.

Jungle Fighters. The camouflage were made using GW Camouflage Green, mixed with a little black. Then more black mixed in for the darker strokes, and over them, Camouflage Green with a little white mixed in for the lighter strokes.

Venusian Rangers. They does not look like the others at all, but then again they are a elite-unit. They are the only 1 ed. miniatures I have. If you compare them to the other minis on this page, you can really see how Target Games had improved.

Vulcan Battlesuits. The flamer to the right is a conversion. It were the first miniatures I painted, before I had decided for a scheme - so I painted the suits Bauhaus/Ultra Marine Blue. They look fine, but also a little bit silly. Oh well.

Strike Skimmer in a grey/black city-camouflage scheme. The model were first painted grey and black, then drybrushed. All the nail-holes were trimmed grey to make them stand out. The uniforms were in grey/green militia. I should have painted the armour black, to give the unit same status as the Hussars.
