Khador 4th border legion.

[Thunder Child]

hi, after getting my new metal toys off John I thought I would have a go at weathering painting my own style over top of the original paint job.

The painting theme is based on a 4th border legion force that has been in the field far beyond the normal time spent in active service

nice work there oliver but id prefer if you did your own scheme and not built on the ones they can with =P

[Thunder Child]

welll this is (mosty) my own scheme . (should have done a before and after shot)
The only things that are the same colour as before are the silvers of the legs and joints, but even they where given a shading wash, and a quick highlight. The picture dosn't show it as well but the main colouring on the armour plates is a really dirty brown washed over a much lighter green.


anyways, here is some pics of the Old Witch, and scrapjack












My pics are not that great, and as such the colours are a bit different to the actual minature paint job.

Noice!

OOh My G!

That is a very nice collection. I think you havn't reeived enough praise her for your painting.

Nicely photographed too.

Nicley added to your post as well.

I really do like the weathered appearance.

I have an idea for you too...
considering hte faded weathered machines. Perhaps too long in the field.. I would expect to see some repairs.
Rerpairs can be any of the following:

New bright spare parts.

old scavanged spare parts.

Mismatched spare parts... (which leads to the idea of .. when ws that last tie you saw a multi coloured panneled car .. not since the eighties!

Thats right nowadays we get a new one of the right colour. A sign of a good spare parts industry.


Another idea.... what happened to the pirate in Tresure island when he got battel damaged... wooden leg?

How about a an A team adaption.. say a draw bridge door for a shield... ??? Wagon wheel?

Your pallet.

Well, these boys are actually being over hauled as they didn't have enough detail for my liking. Its been a bit of a disaster but Now I am building up over a dirty wash with a stippled goblin green on the War Jacks. I am also adding my own chipped paint job. By the end (hopefully ) They will look a lot better.

And Yes John it will be my own scheme
