Well the plan is to build up my army slowly, mainly because I remember in the old days having loads of unpainted miniatures, and secondly so the wife doesn't notice the hit to the bank balance blink.png

Once I get the current vanguard and rangers painted, it'll be another box to increase the squad numbers and heavy weapon options.

good stuff kal,

purple and silver work quite well together,i look fwd to the finished product...perhaps a bone/light brown for the leggings would be better contrast...the red may look out of place with so much purple...just a suggestion

Karak stone with a light agrax wash in the seams/folds with ushabti highlights is a real winner on the legs.

Hello, everyone! After many months away from the hobby (due first to the hottest summer I can remember, that dried my paints in the exact moment I put them on my palette, and then to the release of Metal Gear Solid V) I finally managed to complete my first squad of Skitarii from the forge World Incaladion:

(click on the image for a larger version - a couple of other pictures are on my blog)

 

I am extremely satisfied with how they turned out, even if it took me forever to complete them!

Many different and nice colour schemes you all have! (Especially those who work with white, yellow or orange tones... I bow to your skill!)
But the ones made by Jae, Derpaderp and Annatar Giftbringer are the ones going into my direction... for my... "project".
More in the future! *goes back to lurk in the shadows*

 

For my second journey into the Mars realms I have decided something a big different.
I am going to try a Steampunk look, brown leather on the rangers and Dominus, brasses and coppers all around steel. 
It is in my head, just have to see if I can make come to life.

So, my first unit of Skitarii finally reached a completion stage where you can have an idea of direction I am going to, so I can show you the soldiers of the Aksita of Incaladion (inspired to the Tiger Eyes Titans Legion):

I hope you like them!

WOW! Absolutely beautiful yellow. I went to your blog and downloaded a ton of pics and bookmarked your yellow tutorial. Yellow looks SO good when it's well done, I think I'll need to make my next knight yellow. I'm planning a yellow Mechanicum as well :D

This is the colour scheme that I came up with for my army:

Great Skitarii, Castellan Cato! I love that green glow and the metallic paints are very consistent. The basing ties everything together well, too. I kind of wish I'd painted my Warlord's squad differently now that I've seen yours; he tends to blend in with the rest of my units at this point! tongue.png

I've not seen many green Skitarii yet so here is some of my guys.

Ranger Squad advancing

 

Most of my Skitarii have blue lenses for their eyes but I couldn't resist painting the Vanguard with red eyes. Whether it's a nod to the Cylons or KITT is up to you. :p

 

I think I went overboard on the varnish for my Skitarii, in particular the rifles on my Rangers look a bit gloopy after I painted gloss varnish over them. My squads are currently missing their squad markings but I've got my custom transfers on order. I'll have to see how those turn out.

So, almost two years since I started this thread I am putting brush to model on my Skitarii!

 

Still can't really decide on a scheme however, my initial one I am not put off... Basically I play Black & Red Blood Angels and my Custodes will be Gold.

 

So my combo scheme of these colours will probably result in major burnout... I'll keep red as a main colour though to show allegiance.

 

The plan is to have the main Cult/ Skit as one colour scheme, cybernetica as another and then secutarii and knights as a third - to represent the different factions. Maybe one unifying colour overall.

 

Instead i'm looking for a sort of 2nd Edition feel to the army, inspired by this pic (its Titans but ya get me):

Anyone got any good pics for 2nd ed Titan/ Skitarii Robots/ Ad Mech of any kind I can use to get some sorta inspiration from?
