These were inspired by MrH's "Army in a day" and the need to get a friend a playable force in time for the weekend. Unfortunately, they didn't turn out as well as MrHarold's figures but they do the job. The whole lot were completed over two evenings. They were sprayed white then airbrushed lightly with Tamiya Nato Black (to make them dark green). GW Nuln Oil wash and GW Ashen Wastes (think that's its name) drybrush. The vehicles were washed with a very watery brown acrylic (a mix of any old muck) and the excess dabbed off a few minutes later. It's not clear in the photo but, annoyingly, a heavy Nuln Oil wash can dry white!

They look like WH40k Elder shuriken catapults to me.

Very nice! I look forward to hearing about the battle! Instead of nuln oil, have you tried army painter strong tone? I love thr stuff much more than the gw washes.

I really like the use of that dreadnought for your force. I never would have thought of that use for it. Very nice touch.

Dammit they look great. I sold my 4ok stuff earlier in the year to get in on the Requiem Kickstarter wished I'd kept my dreadnought now!

Thanks all.
We were all surprised at how well the dreadnought scaled up on the table.

Ok, here's my WIP photo for this Friday. My Android force needs some transport, so I'm using some Matchbox Bats and some papercraft pods. I added some plasticard struts and magnets under the VTOL and just put some small washers inside the pods on the roof. The pod is from www.germy.co.uk/papermodels.html with some modifications. In Gruntz terms, the Bat will be an assault VTOL with 3 transport slots. Each pod will take 1.5 slots, and they are immobile so I'm giving them each effectively 1.5 slots of transport inside. The VTOL swoops in, deposits the pods, takes off or lends support as required. The pods will have some small weapon (probably a mortar) and ports for the passengers to fire. I'll work on finishing the rest and making cards after the weekend - off to go camping.
