Welcome to Nu-Earth greenie!

Googles –  FoW Black & FoW Black wash 1:1 mix, with  AP Toxic Mist for the lens

The last infantry squad I have painted as as the Kashan Legion (Vet Infantry)

Boots – FoW Camo Black Brown with a AP strong tone/FoW Brown wash

Base Uniform – FoW Pure Red

Webbing & Straps – FoW Camp Medium Brown, AP strong tone wash

Gloves & O2 Tank & Hosing– FoW Green grey, with watery (1:1) FoW black wash

Hood – FoW Deep Yellow, with 1:1 mix of FoW Black & FoW Black wash for the striping

Googles – AP Royal Cloak

Insigna and Goggles Lens – FoW Deep Yellow , FoW Black

I must admit the yellow hoods almost had this squad launched into the bin several times, as I difficulty thinning the yellow and it just wasnt sttling as well as I wish…. but, it’ll do. from a normal table top distance, it does look good,…I think??

The most annoying thing I found , apart from those bloody yellow hoods, was painting the insignia on the shoulders, but they look better with it than without it.

So , its been a while since I last updated this project.  I managed to get a bit of painting done this weekend, although I have deviated from my plan in the last entry.

So I finished 2 full squads of Nort infantry along with an officer with a cap. These did follow the paint scheme that I originally stated I was using for all the Nort infantry.

The next are WIP from 1 Infantry squad and the Assault squad.

The last infantry squad I decided to do as the Kashan Legion (Vet Infantry) which was the scheme I was going to use for the assualt squad.

Boots – FoW Camo Black Brown with a AP strong tone/FoW Brown wash

Base Uniform – FoW Pure Red

Webbing & Straps – FoW Camp Medium Brown, AP strong tone wash

Gloves &  O2 Tank & Hosing– FoW Green grey, with watery (1:1) FoW black wash

Hood – FoW Deep Yellow

Insigna and Goggles Lens – FoW Deep Yellow , FoW Black

As I said WIP. I’ll know if this works when I finish them later either this weekend/ week.

The Assualt squad I have decided to take a different look. I have decided to make them look like the Nort Navy Assualt/Vrogman teams. the closest image I could find as a reference is from the Rogue Trooper game.

The colour scheme I will probably be using will be as follows, but I’ll update as I test and adjust it to what works for me…

Boots – a dark grey, not sure yet

Base Uniform –AP Griffin Blue

Armour – ?? AP Hardened Carapace – not sure, will have to test this

Webbing & Straps – FoW Camp Medium Brown, AP strong tone wash

Gloves &  O2 Tank & Hosing– FoW Green grey, with watery (1:1) FoW black wash

Hood – a dark grey with maybe a blue tint

Insigna and Goggles Lens – FoW Deep Yellow , FoW Black

now with the below listed mini’s I have a general idea for using either the base scheme, of a variation. the base troopers the officers and the heavy MG teams will all get what I listed as the main scheme. which I took the idea from image 2

the Assault team,  I want to do something similar to image 1,

the Snipers (the team and the Black Dome/Master sniper) I was using this as inspiration, but I’m not sold yet. image 3

My idea for Grand Admiral Hoffa see image 4

Any suggestions would be welcome

using the test paint scheme, I’ve cracked on with getting the base uniform and boots down on the regular troopers.  there’s 24 of these guys so, I want the scheme right before I have to strip them & redo them if I change my mind/come up with a better colour scheme.  Ialso base coloured another officer and the trooper with the Flag for the Greater Nordland army

The paint scheme that I’m trying for the Nort Officers and the troopers is as follows:

Boots – FoW Camo Black Brown with a  AP strong tone/FoW Brown wash

Base Uniform – FoW Camo Orange Ochre; AP strong tone/FoW Brown wash for shading, FoW green Ochre high light/dry brush

Webbing & Straps – FoW Camp Medium Brown, AP strong tone wash

Gloves & Hood – FoW Green grey, with watery (1:1) FoW black wash

Insigna and Goggles Lens – Fow Deep Yellow , Citadel ‘ardcoat for the goggles

O2 Tanks & Hoses- AP Cultist Robes, with watery (1:1) FoW black wash

the Officer also got a FoW Pure Red strip down the side of his pants

I think the paint scheme looks, ok,…… but I’m not sure about the basing yet. if anyone’s got a suggestion, drop it in the comments please.

Right, thought I’d post the pic’s of the remaining mini’s left to paint, being the Norts, (Well Rogue, the GI’s, and the Southers DO need someone to fight).

I’ll list what is left, but I’ll start with the test mini’s.
