A few pictures of my units
Published on 05 February 2012 - 10:02:07

Hi everybody,

since many people post their unfinished projects on the forums, then I thought that I could post mine as well just to get some feedback. These are speedpainted with very simple techniques, just to get them to the table quickly and without too much hassle. I also have two walkers ready, but I will post them as soon as I manage to take proper photos.

The BBQ squad. I'm planning to add a tiny bit of battle damage to their armor, the same applies to the Gunners below.

 

The Gunners

 

The Hammers - these guys still need a lot of work. Each of them is going to have a different camo pattern (I'm aiming at something like woodland for the guy on the left, while the one on the right is going to have tiger stripe). The middle figure is almost done - right now it is just lacking a wash of gryphonne sepia on the armor (the green is too bright right now) and then some highlights / minor tweaks all over.

 

The Recon Grenadiers

 

The Laser Grenadiers

 

The Heavy Lasers. They look a little better in brighter light, but I'm going to touch them up a little bit either way (i.e. by adding some snow flock and some extra detail here and there.

 

Hope you like them, walkers (and maybe some other units) coming soon.

I really like the camo on the Hammers, simple yet very effective.

Here are the walkers, plus a pair of scenery projects in the making - a radar station and a reactor. I'm pretty happy with the walkers, maybe I'll add some decals and of course some snow flock. As for the terrain, it needs more objects (wiring, pipes, decals, etc.), but when I finish then the pieces should blend well with my other base / factory pieces. I will post those later if time permits. Enjoy!

Steel Rain was the first one I did. For a moment I thought I had overdone the weathering, but now I think it's ok.

And here is the radar dish (well, this one actually IS a dish, but never mind ;)

 

And here's Lothar.

 

The "reactor" thing is at an early stage but I guess it'll turn out nicely. 

 

OK, that's it for now. Thanks for all your feedback.

I agree. His winter camo is right on the money.

Right, so here come the promised scenery shots. These are, of course, unfinished and ongoing projects (plus, the photos are actually quite old), yet even in their current state they are good enough so I thought I'd share. Some of these can be found on BGG, however, I still wanted to put everything here so everybody can see all that I've done for DT in one place. Enjoy ;)

 

Factory exterior

Factory interior

Submarine base

Defense line (small)

Defense line (large)

City ruins

 

OK, so that more or less wraps it up. These are essentially the scenarios that I play in DT (all my own, yet featuring many ideas from the official ones). I hope that I'll be able to show You some upgraded versions or even entirely new settings in the near future. Cyah!

 Excellent use of styrofoam. It makes for a convincing scale concrete bunker and buildings.

A small update on the Hammers - they're almost ready, just a few final touches to apply. However, I'm still not sure whether I should darken the green on the armor a little more and, if so, how. Any suggestions?

 Finish the bases and they look good to me.

Thanks for the feedback - I'll keep them as they are, then (except for some final highlights here and there ). Time to move on to other squads and mechs.

I've come up with two new scenarios, both of them have been tested and turned out to be very playable:

Hope you like them. I'll post some new squads soon as well.
