Sergeant sporting a Thunder Hammer and plasma pistol. Any painting approach that works on the infantry but not on the vehicles will be a limiting one. Previous experiments had involved use of GW's "Contrast" paints - with OK results, but with a clear limitation in that "Contrast" paints do not work well on vehicles. Really pleased with the metallic, candy red - all thanks to the "Rattle Can" approach.Īs I have mentioned on different occasions over the past year, I have been keen to achieve a metallic red look for the armour of the Thousand Sons, without resorting to the logistical headaches involved with an airbrush. Nothing that special about 10 more Astartes carrying bolters, but the method used to paint these guys was a little different for me. These Marines are clad in Mark III plate, multi-part plastic figures from GW. Plastic figures from GW.Īnother post featuring reinforcements for the XV Legion Astarters, the "Thousand Sons". A readily assembled plastic tank, perhaps painted to a basic standard, is a boon for wargamers.XV Legion Marines in Mark III power armour. They are a real pain, and some times they don't go together satisfactorily. I put together a few hundred WW2, and Modern, vehicles over the past few months. Metal kits (and also resin kits) are time consuming to clean and put together. As mentioned above, savings on weight, bring down the shipping component of cost. Vehicles, on the other hand, I expect to sell very well.
So companies like WF, Perry, and Warlord were selling into a gap in the market. Many people are interested in 28mm plastics because 28mm metals had become prohibitive for their budgets. So I'm not sure they will make their money back even from 'bulk' figures, like Russians and German infantry.
PSC are selling into a mature market, where many gamers have most of the figures they need. It still costs quite a bit to bring out a plastics set. I don't know if they are going to bring out more unusual sets. >hoping for winter greatcoats sometime soon
