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.
These three Grey Knights are from my own collection.
They have been photographed on a piece of scenery I built specially for taking photographs.
I need to do a lot more for any reinforcements, but was pleased how they turned out. You can see how they were painted on the workbench feature on these Grey Knights.
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.
Back in the 1990s Harlequin Miniatures produced a licensed range of 28mm metal miniatures and I bought back a few of the blisters, including the robot mummy.
The Robot Mummy in the TV series was quite an aged light brown colour, certainly not white.
I gave the four models I had, after undercoating, a basecoat of Vallejo Ivory (918).
After that I brushed over the models a watered down brown wash.
The rear view.
This was to “age” the bandages.
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.

I finished painting the Emmet Gates model.
I gave the model a wash using Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade. This was to darken the base colours, add shadow and shade.
At this stage I could drybrush or highlight, but I quite like the finish at this time, so I think I will leave himas is. The next stage will be the base.
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.

When I was planning my Daemonhunters army, I wanted a sniper. However I didn’t really like the Vindicare model, so decided to order the Imperial Guard Catachan Jungle Fighter Sniper and use that as a Vindicare Assassin with Exitus Rifle.
I have to say, when I compared the model to the Cadian Kasrkin I used for the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers I was slightly disappointed. It lacked the finesse and quality of the Kasrkin models. If I was going to start again, I would probably use the Cadian Sniper models.
