Really nice Larva! Stealing for inspiration.

Those are really sharp. Nice work!

These look really good so far guys.

Nice, Larva. Sharp paint job!

We have some Rebs and some enforcers, somebody wanna throw a plague or marauder in?

Also, I'm gonna force Porkuslime to agree with me that my sniper looks better in person than in the picture in about three and a half hrs. I have hostages to guarantee his agreement.

They aren't quite finished yet. Hence no engineer with them. I have spare bases...

I wanted to do different from the Mantic paintjob, but they basically ended up the same:









have already done the entire faction starter, Dr Simmonds and most of the Enforcers since these pictures were taken.

Mmmmm, spiky.

Nice Plague! (taken out of context, the oxymoron in that sentence is wonderful ). I like the darker, more gritty look.

For my own, I'm probably going to go for something similar to Halo's Flood. Marauders will be fairly standard, Enforcers are a darker, grittier version of the studio scheme, and rebs will be whatever I feel like.

Nice to see some plague! Really like your bases too!

So Porkuslime thought the armor for my model was too shiny. I chalk it up to him not being an Iron Man fan boi. He said the cloak was very nice. He hasn't come on here to say it himself, so I guess it falls to me.

Yes those Plague are very cool, the colour scheme works well! A nice, yukky kind of organic/shelled look to them..

Better?

Yep!

Yes.. I admit it.. been busy.

I saw TTW's dark shiny purple. I did say it was too shiny. I am not an iron man afficionado.

However, it was very well done.. and I really DID like the cloak..

I still have a lot of work to do but here is what ive got so far

Very nicely done! I love the non-typical Orc color.

As above. Very unique.

Very nice. Can't wait to see them finished.

I already posted them in the Mantic thread in the N&R section, but I suppose I can repost them here as well.

Well, here are my efforts at a quick Plague force:

Edit:

And here is my Enforcer lot:

The second assault looks so bad, I painted him by hand the first time around before I decided to try airbrushing. They're not great, but they're quickly done and painted/ready to fight.

Those look very nice MrDWhitey, the blood effect looks rather... well, gory!

Barzam - those look good, are you going to do anything extra with the bases though?

The dead white eyes and muted bone and skin pallor MrDwhitey gave his Plague moves them away from "mutant rednecks" towards "scary zombies" for me, and I'll take "Rraaagh" over "Yeehaw! Gonna roast me some smoothskins, Y'all!" anyday.

Truth to tell, as far as painting the 3rd gens goes, I think I'm liking everybody's take better than the official one so far.

Actually, I am. I'm going to try actually doing some proper basing on them. I'd picked up some sand to do the bases. I just haven't worked up the courage yet to actually try using the stuff.

hey everybody, just got my Deadzone kickstarter through in the post the other week and I figured I would post a pic or two of the models I've started on, this is my first Mantic game and I'm quite impressed with the model detail.

Really nice.

Thanks CptJake, stage 2's were a bit of a rush job, hopefully I can do better with the stage 3 troopers, I need to practice my painting skills again before moving onto the Rebs and mercenaries, cant believe I haven't painted a wargame miniature in almost 10 years!!

Figure I'll show off the next three Plague figures I've done.

Hey guys, we've got a really nice steady creep of awesome pics coming in now. Its great to see how different every bodies look too. Nice to finally see some Marauders too, thanks Monkeyhead!
Finally finished my first reb, I've based coated another 6 minis too, so its all coming along now.

Mine will not look that good. Even if I try...
