I'm trying to decide what to do the camo-cloak in, but the armor will be stealth armor iron man on my sniper. There's a really good probability I don't have to explain why.

Nice to see some rebs in here, I love that yellow ceramic armour. It really fits the model.

Definitely like the reb scheme BmB.

Is that one purple silver TtW?

Thanks for the kind words guys. As the internet Mantic fans have spoken, I will carry on with the yellow scheme Can't wait to paint the leader, I've got plans for Turquoise hair and a purple coat. I'm giving the Enforcers to my brother, so hopefully he will have a bash this week.You got any plans for basing Grim?

No, GD. It's a dark blue with a red energy source in the chest and eyes. Very shiny appearance, I'll likely do regal blue (or w/e the new name is) with a heavy blue wash, then a very light black wash, then a gloss coat afterwards. That should give it the appropriate sheen. If not, Mantic owes me about 4 snipers in total, so I have room to get it right.

Ahh nice, I've only seen the stealth suit in one of the cartoons and I couldn't remember it that well, now I think memory is a bit clearer.

Speaking of clear, BmB, he's on his base solution!

Clear acrylic disk, 1.5mm thick, to show off all of that pretty deadzone terrain beneath his little restic feet

Sorry Grim, didn't mean to rag on your bases Its an awesome Idea though, never occurred to me to use see through bases. Especially with all the changing terrain and lovely gaming mat to show through. (Thinks about stealing idea)

Actually, Grim, now that I think about it...depending on the media portrayed, it could be purplish. Dark purple with blue ink and a gloss. I'll play around with it and give you the details. Time to fly guys! I'll be back after my plane touches down in DC. I want more pictures to come back to!!

What are you a pilot/stewardess? You seem to fly alot, especially if since you keep reporting painting stuff in the airport :p

I work for a mobile dental company. Sometimes I have to fly out to where work vehicles are stationed. This (and my last trip) were such flights. This was just a nightmare getting home. Feth Philly! (New warcry, as weather over Philly has been the source of my late return).

Lamesauce on the weather. I got buried under a foot of snow a couple of days ago, and we usually get 1-2 inches here.

I wasn't smart enough to bring minis on this trip. I figured I wouldn't have time. With a delay...man, did I have serious time on my hands! Could have been another full squad of assault and suppression enforcers done...

:( indeed! I think my guys may paint up almost as fast as yours now that I've sorted out an easier color scheme, looking forward to getting a horde of them on the table.

Where are the Plague and Marauder pics?

Larva, yours matches my copy of the enforcer dreadball team, I'm undecided between doing that or the Deadzone enforcer scheme. Yours has greatly inclined me to the Dreadball style, I think it looks really good.

Got my stuff in today, and I decided to try GD's train of thought that involved purplish armor for Stealth Armor Iron Man. Hormagaunt purple with a Drakenholf blue wash over it. I'll post pictures eventually when I get him done.

Excellent, looking forward to seeing that. I'm just about done with my entry for Skalk's junk pile contest so I'll be hitting the enforcers a bit harder soon. Of course we've just got the go ahead to start moving furniture/stuff to the new house so I may drop off the radar for a day or two at some point Not sure if its even wise to open my deadzone before I get set up

One thing you will notice with the DZ enforcer missile launcher specialist is the mini base he's molded on is way too big to fit into the recess in a normal mantic base. You'll need to do some trimming.

Also, I really like the sniper mini

Ooh, I really like the way you've painted the sniper mini. Definitely fits the urban feel of the game.

I will be posting my sniper late tonight too, once I finish him up. So far the basic body is painted (and looking sweet!) but I need to do details and the cloak. That cloak is gonna be problamatic, as iron man never wears one, so it'll be interesting.

Not sure if my sniper is getting 100% finished tonight: I've painted the body with hormogaunt purple, washed twice with Drakenholf Shade, the cape is chaos black with necron abyss dry-brushing, followed by highlights of shadow grey. The body still has to be covered with the 'Ard Coat, the gun needs to be painted bolt-gun with a black ink and the eyes and chest center need to be red. I should also do the ammo pouches a separate color, but then again, everything on Iron Man's armor tends to be of the appropriate color-so it may stay as is. I'll post the picture when those last 3 things are done and get opinions.

And now I only have the wash to do over the gun and cloak. Everything else has been finished. Base is still a boring grey though, that'll be done later. I'm more concerned with the guy. Gimme another 20 minutes to let the wash dry (after I apply it after finishing this post, of course) and I'll have the image up for you guys.

I do have to say, the detail is MUCH better to see in person. The bluish-purple armor with the dark cloak makes it hard to see, but most of you should have figured that going in, as I was quite adamant about what I wanted my color scheme to be. He's designed to be dark and blend into the shadows. I think he's perfect.

Might even hit his gun with another round of black wash to tie it even further into the shadowy theme you've got. He really looks like he'd be hard to see at night or crouched back into the shadows, and looks much different from the rest of your enforcers, so I'd say good job

Hmm, that might not be a bad idea....back to the paint table!! I wish I could present the actual model instead of a picture though. Lol. That dark, it gets hard to see, short of holding it in your hand...hmm, for a stealth sniper, I guess that means it's a complete success, right? Only 1 more to paint (until shipment 2 rolls around ) and then I'll do the engineer. He's gonna get a silver paintjob with gold highlights to represent Tony Stark's underarmor in the cartoon that he wore underneath his Iron Man suit. This, for instance:

http://www.toymania.com/archives/ironman/stark.html

Interesting. I think I may have had that toy back in the day... I don't recall the tony stark outside the suit, but the helmet and arms/legs armor I do clearly remember.

I figure with him calling himself "the mechanic" in the most recent movie, and this being the closest to a mechanic suit he's worn...it might be a stretch, but it's all I got. Lol. If you or anyone else has any creative ideas...please, impart your knowledge unto me.

If you are going that route, you may consider using the captain's open face helmet instead of the engineer helmet. Someone else has done that I think, so pretty sure it works. It doesn't look anything like stark, but for the fact that the face is showing as opposed to not.

Both snipers are looking good. Great stuff, and keep it coming guys.

Like the purple. He'll blend into the shadows very well. Curious as to whether that link is to a Tony Stark action figure or a Freddy Mercury one.

Nice call. That's how I intend my engineers to look, probably complete with the red/yellow helm and boots. Make it so a true iron man fan will go flying rodent gak crazy over my enforcer army.

And trust me when I say the picture doesn't do justice to the stealth armor. I will have Porkuslime confirm this to be true when I see him tomorrow.

Nearly enough to get started. Undecided whether to do some Marauders or Plague next. Or just go back to the endless drudgery of painting a seemingly infinite pile of zombicide zombies.
