So, I broke the duck... (and then some!)

Finally managed to actually get something painted yesterday, after following the advice of a couple of you on my other post. I went through my 'In Tray' of figures I've not catalogued and put away yet, and found one of the old Confrontation Bratt models, kindly given to me by a friend a while ago.

He's entirely unrelated to my other current projects, and so I give you Ludwig Von Blautoven:

I've gone with some old metal Empire infantry arms I had knocking around, which work quite well, I think. Not bad for a figure painted over the space of 8 hours. I've only got another three of these, so might pick up one or two more and make a small Necromunda gang out of them.

Whilst I was waiting for the layers/inks to dry on Ludwig, I also finished off President Kitenge's Personal Retinue for my Feral Army:

All hail President Kitenge! (or a couple more feral pics)

Not really been up to much, wargaming-wise, recently, but here's President Kitenge, leader of my Feral Militia, along with N'Gungo, his trusted, yet unstable Psychic advisor.

More pics after the break:

Ferals on the rampage!

So, this is what I've been up to over the last few weeks since my last post, and it's been a bit of a grind, to say the least. Batch painting is my least favourite type of painting, it's dull, repetitive and soulless, but I'm over the mountain, and there are just a few details to tidy up, so here you go:

Feral Worlder WIP update.

So, here's a representative group of my Feral worlders that I've been working on. These are a real mish-mash of stuff, but mainly as follows: Perry Mahdists bodies and arms, Westwind Weird War 2 German gas mask heads, Warlord WW2 German equipment, Rogue Trader/Necromunda era weapons and with a few Vic minis bits for the officers. 

As you can see, I've got quite a few of the buggers to paint, which leads me on to a question: How would you guys suggest I paint 'em? I'm probably going to go with an African skin tone, to match the Ferals I've done already (Who I can now use as scouts.)

As there are 40 of them to paint up, I need ideas for a colour scheme that would look impressive, but be fairly quick to do. I toyed with the idea of SS oakleaf camo, as they're all wearing baggy smock-like clothing (and it would match the German kit), but that might be a bit too busy for me to do a: quickly, and b: well, so I'm appealing to the hive-mind.

Any thoughts?

Feral Worlders, continued...

Here's a few more photos of the Feral Worlders I've been painting up recently. Not sure why, I should be working on my 40k Slann, but I felt like a change, and now I appear to have made a start on yet another new army...
