Another newbie thread

By DEfairbanx, in Dust Tactics

I'm completely noob when it comes to painting. But looking for a new hobby I dive into painting Dust Tactics miniatures. I ordered the Revised Core Set and also found the original Core Set for cheap. Now, I like to share some of my results:

Let's start with the "Hell Boys":

"Rhino" and "The Hammers"

Some ammo crates

Some of the colours are a bit too brave for my, like RIhno's armor. But all in all those minis look good. The grassy bases are awsome! ;)

Hammers and Hell boys look really good. Also like the crates. good job!

Looking good. I like the Hell Boys color scheme and your grassy bases.

For the iron cross and the star on the ammo crates are those decals or did you paint them on? The ammo crates look very sharp.

They look good, great start.

I agree that some colours look not that good. Rhino look like toy and the green of the "Sturmpionieren" didn't come out as expected. I don't want to repaint them 'cause there are more miniatures from the 1st edition waiting to be painted next. But I'm unsure about the colors of the axis infantry whether I should stay with the bilious green or choose another scheme. I'm most satisfied with the "Hell Boys" and plan to choose that scheme for the allied melee squads. I then will alternate those colors for my mid-range squads like the "Death Dealers".

@TallDwarf: I use the original Dust Decals for both the miniatures and the crates.

I'm also satisfied with the bases. It was easier than expected and really helps to bring out the miniatures.

Now I'm looking forward to finish the "Death Dealers", "Heavy Laser Greandiers" and the walkers… (I ruined the "Black Hawk" a little bit when I applied the GW Purity Seal)

The "Death Dealers"
