OK, here we go. The chosen minis are ... drum roll ... the Vostroyans.
A little explanations is probably necessary as to why this choice was made :
*) GW\'s latest minis (usually sells well on eBay, and don\'t forget, in the end, they will be auctioned for WoH);
*) When they first came out, they were either a love or hate army; this is the opportunity to show that they can be made into a characterful army;
*) Not Space Maines
;
*) Maybe Mike appreciates the movie Stalingrad as much as I do
.
Concerning the paint schemes (bear with me, been busy lately so this was done quickly) :
Guard :
Officer :
Guards get black cuffs and hats, officers get white versions. Both get black pants.
We thought that there was too much brown in the EM team\'s paint scheme, so the guns will be getting steel and the armors will have less gold. Something like this concept :
Two important notes :
*) You are free to chose your exact shades. The fluff implies that a lot of their equipement is hand made, so some variation is possible. If you do need some color references, I\'ll happily suggest a few;
*) Metals should all be done in NMM for cohesion (sorry Tim, but consider it the occasion to show people again that you do cool NMM
). From what I\'ve seen, most of the participants know how to do this technic. If it\'s not the case then it\'ll be the perfect occasion to learn (CMON has plenty of articles on the subject
).
Bases should be greyish urban ruins. The rim of the base should be painted black.
Finally, please sign with your initials and country initials the back of the rim of the base.
Here is the list of chosen minis (sign up is on a first come first serve basis; for the command squad, please try to partner up with other people so only one box is necessary) :
*) Vostroyan Commander :
*) Vostroyan Standard :
*) Vostroyan Comm Link :
*) Vostroyan Medic :
*) Vostroyan Grenade Launcher :
*) Vostroyan Sniper 1 : green stuff
*) Vostroyan Sniper 2 : Tyneth
*) Commissar :
*) Vostroyan Sergeant :
*) Vostroyan Radio Operator (a converted Vostroyan Trooper) :
*) Vostroyan Flamer :
*) Vostroyan Lascannon Team :
*) Vostroyan Trooper :
*) Vostroyan Trooper :
*) Vostroyan Trooper :
*) Vostroyan Trooper :
*) Vostroyan Trooper :
Feel free to convert and add to the bases (but keep the original size of the base
) as you feel fitting.
Also, please post WIP so we can see where things are heading
