Grymn Heavy support....

To All,

 Here we have the third unit of Hasslefree Miniatures Grymn. A Heavy Infantry Squad in Enviro suits. I went with an "Ultramarine scouts" paint scheme on them. My goal for the unit was 'decent 2-footer,' and I think I'm there.

 Their main purpose is to spray the battlefield with bolter shots. The Space Mice and the Moles should be wary on Friday night at Cold Wars.

Radon Zombies of the Ionosphere

To All,

Radon Zombies of the Ionosphere

I finished the Radon Zombies from Pulp Figures last night. I took them off my painting bench to let them sit for a few days. Then I'll look at them and do any touch-ups and add some extreme highlights (I do this with all figures and stuff I paint).

I'm not going crazy on these figures - just getting them to be good "2-footers" for the game at Cold Wars. That's why I only went three shades.

For the leather hoods and gloves I used this series of DecoArt Americana browns. I like the Americana acrylics because the shades really work well together and they are consistent from bottle to bottle.

For the weapons I used GW metallics:

For the "energy" inside the weapons I used GW reds and orange:

Pulp Figures Radon Zombies

To All,
I ordered some Radon Zombies from Pulp Figures.  I primed them with Army Painter matte black:

For the base coat on the 'uniform' I made a mix of equal parts DecoArt Americana Slate Grey,  DecoArt Americana Desert Turquoise, and Vallejo Thinner Medium.  I also added a drop of water. The thinner medium is a great way to get your paint to flow, thin it out without separating and clumping the pigment, and get smooth coverage.

 When doing custom colors I find it helpful to get little painting pots and mix the colors in them. That way if you need to touch-up a spot you have the exact color ready to go.

 I got these from Michaels -  $2.49 for 18.
