You can make them really painstakingly with the GIMP (Gnu image manipulation program).
Only something like two months to the barracks app beta though, I think. If you sub on indiegogo.

Got about 70 ground zero games UNSC based and primed white, plus another 16 Crusties.  Also got three GZG grav tanks primed  Started painting some UNSC. This is going to be the colour scheme.  Speed is off the essence due to real life demands, but I think it'll look ok. Shoulder pads will be colour coded for leader/special weapon/grunt, and I'll do the bases up the same as the Crusties. Here's the current WIP stat card for the UNSC grunts  As I'm providing both forces, trying to get others to play Gruntz and don't know enough to confidently balance two disparate forces, I'll not have massive differences between the two forces (Crusty and UNSC) stats. I'm slightly concerned about UNSC Grav versus Crusty Walkers. Grav seems vastly superior for not much extra cost, but I'm sure it's been well tested and will play out well. |

I really like those helmets. If I didn't have so much to do already I get some of them. I like the colors. Can't wait to see the OpForce. |

Nice work....you've got some serious painting to tackle there Thanks. I do indeed, but coming from 28mm this isn't remotely daunting. It's a nice change. I'd cry if I had to paint that many 28mm guys  |

Finished the first 28 of my ground zero games UNSC.  Still a long way to go - and this is only part of the unpainted UNSC/Crusty masses!  |

WWG's texture work is awesome and usually scales down well.

To be fair to them, those aren't the buildings they're meant to make - I just cut out parts of their textures and glued them to boxes to make some really quick and dirty terrain. I think the WWG stuff is excellent but with real-life demands I barely get to game, and making the WWG stuff properly is a hobby in itself! |

Here's a few more quick and dirty 15mm buildings that I knocked together last night using scaled WWG textures.  |

Got 3 GZG grav APCs painted up, and the first 2 of 4 Antenociti's Workshop Skorpion light grav tanks.   I made the flying bases based (ba-boom!) on some advice from another thread on this forum. Bent copper rod, green stuff and some washers. Seems to do the trick nicely The other two Skorpions are about 2/3rds done too |

I see I'm not the only one that thought the twin machine guns looked better clips facing up.
Even with those nasty mold lines on the GZG apcs they look good.
Now those skorpions, did you assemble them then paint them or did you paint them and then assemble them?
I want more of them but I'm almost scared to paint the one I have.
