In the last two weeks, I have cleared some of the lead mountain and finished up three battle-groups:

Here they are:

'Marines'

'Sulphur based humanoids'

'Pax Arcadians'

More details on my blog of course..

Thanks Pete, I do need to go back and tidy up the bases on the 'Humanoids'.

I think I will also apply a few more coats of gloss to the orange 'glass'.

Hi Pete, it's a Reaper CAV ship that I acquired broken and reassembled, using bits I hacked off in a different configuration. (Wings and tail-planes mainly).

It's actually their Ghast - http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/ghas...

And as you can see, the engines were relocated, the wings were used to create tailplanes and so on.

Nice use of color theory! I see what you did there!

Entirely accidental - but quite effective use of colour theory! I just picked colours I thought would work well, and I just can't resist going and doing more and more to my 'aliens' - tidied up the bases, adding a black green wash around the 'rocks' and then adding layer after layer of gloss varnish to the cockpits/eyes/canopies.

I wish I could find a source for miniature crystals - maybe I should grow some.

I really like your Pax Arcadians, Doug. That is such a nice and effective paint scheme and so difficult to do well.

I will be doing a 3mm marine battlegroup similar to yours, soon, so it is nice to see your take on this. However, what are you using for walkers there? Unless I mistake my guess, they look like Battletech click warrior power armor. Are they?
