Dystopian Wars Airfield Set

Having given the resin models in the Dystopian Wars Airfield Set a basecoat, the next stages were undertaken.

I mixed some of the Vallejo German Dark Camo (979) with Vallejo Ivory (918) and drybrushed the hangars.

The Airship Towers were given a wash with Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil.

After that was dry, I gave them a drybrush of the original grey.

The Radar Tower was also given a wash with Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil.

The radar itself  got a base coat of Citadel Base: Warplock Bronze.

Dystopian Wars: Kingdom of Britannia Flyers

Within the box Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group for Dystopian Wars are flyers, resin fighter tokens and metal bombers.

They look like biplanes, but have elements of 1940 era fighters.

Not quite sure how I am going to paint them at this time.

In the box you also get two Doncaster Class Bombers.

I am not a fan of these models, or even the concept. They look like flying boats, but aren’t.

Dystopian Wars: Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group

Some time ago I bought the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group for Dystopian Wars.

In the box you get:

1 x Battleship
3 x Cruisers
9 x Frigates
2 x Bombers
10 x Resin Flying Tokens
2 x Acrylic Flight Stands
4 x A5 Token Sheets
Laminated Statistic Cards

After cleaning the models, and putting them together I gave them a white undercoat.

These are the Attacker Class Frigates.

These are the Tribal Class Cruisers.

This is the Ruler Class Battleship.

The next stage for these models will be a grey basecoat.

Prussian Empire Pflicht Class Scoutships

The first contingent of my Prussian Empire aerial forces are a pair of Pflicht Class Scoutships.
Prussian Empire engineers love the classic zeppelin shape and have made extensive use of the gas powered blimp shape throughout the military.

In the end, in order to undercoat and paint them I used a couple of spare Citadel flying bases.

After giving the models a white undercoat, I gave them a basecoat of a light grey.

Still not 100% sure how I am going to finish painting these.

Dystopian Wars Airfield Set

This set contains three medium-sized hangers, two zeppelin towers and one communications building. I gave all the models an undercoat of Citadel Skull White spray. For the hangars I gave them a base coat of Vallejo German Dark Camo (979).

Finishing off the Dystopian Wars Arminius Class Frigates

The Dystopian Wars is a miniatures games from Spartan Games. The Prussian Frigate is a simple ship with a single turret and aft Tesla weapons.

Having given the models a wash of Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil, I then gave them a light drybrush.

I think if I was to paint them again, I might paint the decks a tan colour so that it looked like wood.

As you can see from this photograph, there is still some touching up to do, where they were glued to the stick.

Check out the Dystopian Wars Workbench.

Dystopian Wars: Prussian Empire Blucher Class Dreadnought

Having washed the decks of the Prussian Empire Blucher Class Dreadnought the next stage was to give he rest of the model and hull a wash of Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil.

After that I gave the model a light drybrush.

This is the Prussian Empire Blucher Class Dreadnought alongside two Arminius Class Frigates.

Pleased with how the model turned out. It still could do with some more detailing and markings, but at this time I can certainly use this in a game.

Drybrushing the Steam Tank

After “washing” the Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank from Ironclad Miniatures I gave it a relatively light drybrush.

I used a combination of Vallejo Middlestone and a mix of Middlestone (882) and Ivory (918), and a large brush.

Now a side view.

Here is the Steam Tank alongside a Foundry Gunfighter.

Washing the Steam Tank

The main part of the Ironclad Miniatures Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank model was then given a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade.

There are some quite large flat blank areas on the model, as a result the wash hasn’t worked as well as I would have liked. However these areas will be slightly covered with the tracks and the turret.
