Winter Guard Uniform colors

The default scheme for this Khador mainstay unit is rather more garish than I would prefer, especially for mere conscripts in a nation that is only just beginning to industrialize. So I decided to come up with my own color scheme, but couldn't tell which imagined colors would work best. So I painted up some test models.

It's still pretty hard to decide, but I thiiiink may favorite is the one on the right.

Note that these are not finished models in any sense. The skin, weapons and leather bits were painted quickly and sloppily for now, because this is just a uniform test.

Khador starter set painted

Got my warcaster and two warjacks done.

I gotta admit, it's weird painting sci-fi/fantasy stuff after sticking to historicals for so long. The Khador infantry should feel more natural but these big stompy robots took some getting used to. I do feel that these paint jobs are a bit on the bland side, especially for how much surface area there is, I might need to add some weathering and maybe a bit more battle damage.

Also, in retrospect it's silly that I posed the shooty warjack to be charging, while the melee specialist is just standing. Oh well.

New Project for the New Year

Hey everyone, here's a birthday present I got. Or some of it, anyway. The other two warjacks I'm leaving partially unassembled for now, so I can magnetize their arms later on.

Even if you've never read a single word about Warmachine before in your life, you can maybe tell from the commander's hat that this is the fake-Russian faction. The warjacks (i.e. the robots) are very distinct and specific to this setting, but the rest of the miniatures might occasionally show up in my historical fantasy skirmish wargaming.
