Thanks, it's quite similar to painting miniatures. I tend to block in the lighter tones and then gradually add shading.

Cheers, its great fun and a fantastic opportunity to really pore over some truly fantastic art. I highly recommend it, even if there isn't a tiny person nagging you to do it.

Have a look through some of the early 40k rulebooks, there is tons of black and white line art in them as it was much easier and cheaper to print.

I have done a bunch of colouring in with them when the wee one has told me to colour in space marines whilst they are working away in their colouring books.

It's fairly easy to find PDFs online, then you just need to crop the images and print them out.

There is only one way to find out, I hope to see lots of happy little tanks running around soon

Cheers, I'm doing a bit of that with the grass around the base of this beast at the moment.

Thanks, it's for my Genestealer Cult so wanted to do an appropriate scheme.

Haha, no those are some Genestealer Cult proxies from Old School Miniatures, they are up on kickstarter just now.

Cheers, I use the Vallejo's golden olive. It really pops.

Cheers, I think it might be my only vibe when it comes to miniature painting 😂

None of them are.

The figures in the original post are from a kickstarter coming out later in the year, I don't have anything to do with it myself but I was lucky enough to get a set of the early casts.

The tank is one of my own designs that I 3D printed, I've uploaded it to Cults 3D https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork/3d-models

The other fully painted ones I posted in the comments are from a couple of places. The big fell with the sword is from L72 Miniatures https://l72smetalminiaturesmusings.wordpress.com/ and the other two are tech cultists from Checkpoint Miniatures https://www.checkpointminiatures.co.uk/shop/ftw13-tech-cultists-with-leader/

To add to this I have the patriarch and landspeeder from L72 Miniatures, a bunch more of the tech cultists to use a brood brothers, a magus from Hybrid Miniatures, the land raider proxy I designed and 3D printed and a scratch built limo that I am building from a toy car.

This was meant to be a dozen figures and a limo for playing skirmish games with because my wife bought me some of the tech cultists, but as these things often do the scope of this project has grown arms and legs. Which is sort of appropriate for a Genestealer Cult I suppose.

They're a purestrain proxy from Hybrid Miniatures, I think it's inspired on the original art work for genestealers in the Rogue Trader rulebook. I'm attempting to make the whole army from non GW miniatures.

They are really nice models, I've got another five of them to paint at some point.

Cheers, these were the first ones i finished. So in theory they should look something like this when I am done.
