While I'm at it, here's a little something I'd neglected to photograph before. We use a house rule that when a tank is destroyed, it leaves in its square a bit of wreckage that works like an ammo crate. When one of the allied medium walkers is destroyed, I simply pop the head off and leave it on the board (it's a pretty disheartening sight). But for some of the other walkers it's not so easy to pop parts off, so we use some of the leftover pieces from the walker boxes. Here are some of them, which I played with to be more like proper wreckage:

LOL - In the photo it looks like you've used the new GW line of washes.

Finally went ahead and finished the Punisher by doing the weathering:





Please excuse the picture overdose. This took a while and I'm quite proud of it. 
Anyhow, did all sorts of things here. Sponge chipping with different combinations of gray and red, quite a bit of heavy drybrushing with a reddish colour for some rust, some metallic touches to some corners… After all was said and done, I'm quite pleased with the end result. It made me appreciate this unit a lot more.

Each mini (or in this case, maxi) you paint looks better than the last, loopy.
Truly badass.

Ach great job as always, i love the rust on the dozer blade… It makes me sad to think you runned out of minis to paint:(
Are you thinking of starting up some SSU Loophole?
Honor, Duty, Valor…all good but I need my payment if you want some lead flying towards your enemies…
Well, I ain't buying SSU units. But it seems a friend of mine will pick them up, so I'll probably end up painting them.

Here's the bit of work I did on my Premium Sturmkonig. It's not much, and I really should have taken a "before" picture so that the changes would be more obvious.

What I did was apply some sand highlights to most of the upper body, making the edges more visible, painted the leg hoses black and washed the legs a bit, and added some metallic highlights to some components like the legs, antenna and searchlights.

Well, yeah. Specially compared to my Punisher. I must admit I'm a bit disappointed in the heavy walker premium paint job. The walker is so large that they seem to gloss over big parts of it, without adding any detailing and texture to several bits. The parts they painted are great, but there should be more of them.

Great picture! and great army! just a little question, why different colour for the axis walker? why not searching uniformity of camo?

This was something I decided from the very beginning. I love the personality of all the Dust units, and I wanted that to shine through. I didn't want to be uncertain for a second whether that squad was the BBQ or the Hell Boys, whether that walker was the Mickey or the Hot Dog. That is why I don't play with multiples of the same unit, and that is why I don't care for colour uniformity for each faction. I do have some overall themes that the factions tend to stick to, like the blue-gray armor for the allies and the dark gray armor for the axis. I really don't like it when I see those pictures of uniform armies and it's just a mass of olive soldiers and gray tanks. Really uninspiring.
