Athonian Greenshade for the green fatigues, Agrax Earthshade for the tools, gloves and other brown items, Nuln Oil for the weapons and Ogryn Flesh for the face.

I was recently digging tourh the topic, have you ever painted the Armor 3 comand squads? And will we see the new units for axis/allies painted by you?;)

I didn't paint the NCO squads because I managed to get them in Premium Edition for a bargain (same with the hero packs and heavy grenadiers).

And yes, I will paint the other axis and allies squads, as soon as I manage to get a hold of them.

Finally, here's the last SSU squad, the Chinese Volunteers:

My friend didn't like the standard blue batigues, so he asked me to do some sort of yellow. I think it turned out quite good. I darkened the red in the armor a bit, so that the red star decal would show up on it.

And that's it for SSU troops. So here's a group shot of all of them (click to enlarge)

And in the background, my next assignment.

Awsome as always.

But man those Chinese sure will be easy targets, but they also still look really good.

Well, the Chinese Volunteers ARE cannon fodder, aren't they?

The minis look fantastic as always, loopy.

One question, though --

I thought the Matrioshka wasn't quite released yet. Is that a Dust Studios or FFG "preview" release like miah999's Jagdrenadiere a few weeks ago?

Oh, right… well, I've got my contacts…  ;-)

Jealous …

Well, here's she is, the original grand'ma: Babushka!

Ah, nothing like a nice dark red meatgrinder of a walker. I really like this walker's design, and I thought those great gatling gun would look more striking in full bare metal.

Hell yeah!  Simply stunning, Loop.

At last the walkers. Superb work as always!

Back for more! This time it's Grand'ma, which I really wanted to call by its correct name "Babushka", but then they went and and made a different walker with that name (see above). Well, here's Koshka's ride:

The pose it came in was leaning forward at a ridiculous angle, the howitzer almost touching the ground. So I cut off both her legs and superglued it in a better position, still leaning forward, cause she has a cool running pose, but something more graceful.

With the overall color I tried something a bit different. I left the base primer color, which made painting the base colours pretty fast and easy. Then I applied a very green wash (Biel-Tan Green shade), which gave the model a distinct green tone, quite different from the primer. Add a little of the usual dark chipping with metallic highlights, and that's it. Go make mother Russia proud, Grand'ma.

Loop your work is awesome as always.

Looking good, shame it's such a crappy unit in DT:D
