Some time ago I bought the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group
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.
I was given a box of the Space Marine Assault Squad by my son, after thinking about painting them as Grey Knights I decided in the end to paint them as “normal” Marines.
I glued the chainsaw arms to the models.
They still need their other arms.
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.
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).
The Airship towers and the radar tower were given a basecoat of light grey.
Having finished painting Emmet Gates, I started on the base.
I first gave it a basecoat of Citadel Texture: Armageddon Dust.
What I did note was that it didn’t quite cover the coin as well as I thought it would. So for my other Foundry models I will use a bit of green stuff to texture the base.
Once the paint was dry, I drybrushed with Citadel Layer: Ushabti Bone and then used some Citadel Mordheim Turf.
This is the metal miniature that was made by Harlequin Miniatures. After undercoating the model I gave it a basecoat of Citadel Boltgun Metal.
I then gave the model a wash of Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil. This added shadow and depth to the model.
Get Robot
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.
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.
The drill and rear hatch were a little too new and shiny, so I gave both areas a wash of Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil.
This dulls down the brightness of the Bolt Gun Metal.
Though not quite where I want the 15mm Ruined Shop with Passage, I wanted to check that the process I was planning or my 15mm buildings was going to look effective, so I gave the ruined end of the model a a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade.
I am quite pleased with the end result with using the wash, the roof tiles look a lot better, as I did that that the Terracotta was a little too bright when I first painted the roof that colour.
