These are the second part of a commission I was working on for a friend of mine. He wanted them painted up in a dark color scheme to help to add to the more sinister look that the Death Korps have. I kept the paint job very simple on the models a dark grey for the coats and black for the pants, cuffs, armour and the weapons. I then used red as a neutral accent color and some blue for the eyes and weapons. In addition to this I painted there gloves and boots brown. And then added a bit of silver to the packs and masks on the models. In all there as 2 Valkyries, 2 Leman Russes ( I am still workin on number 2 ), an Earthshaker Cannon, 18 Heavy weapon platforms, 3 Comussars, 3 command squads, an Hq squad, 10 veterans and 50 troops that were cut from the Gorgon strip troops you buy for the transport. Overall it was alot of work but I am very happy with how they all turned out, but the main thing was that my friend has been very happy with all the work I have done so far. Also there is still 6 more Heavy weapons, a Comussar and a custom built Comussar to be painted yet but thats part 3. Till then Thanks for your interest and feel free to leave your comments or questions.
Love the tank and the cannon!
ReplyDeleteVery nice job! Wish you'd post more often, though! This is one of 3 blogs I frequently check for painting inspiration! ;)
