SG15-X14 Crusty Heavy Infantry

I recently finished painting some of GZG's new Crusty Heavy infantry.  I think these are my favourites out of all the power armoured figures that GZG produce.  You get 3 excellent poses, I especially like the "advancing into battle" pose on the right.


Colour scheme was arrived at following discussions with Jon at GZG, something inspired by but not copied from District 9.  A white spray undercoat was washed with Vallejo black ink, then carefully overpainted with Vallejo cold grey.  A very heavy drybrush of Vallejo stonewall grey was followed by a top drybrush of Vallejo dead white.  Detailing was added with Vallejo orange fire and Humbrol matt 33 black.  Black areas received a Humbrol 32 dark grey highlight.  Helmet lenses are Vallejo gloss black .  A few last dabs of GW chainmail and Mithril silver completed them.

    Oh, I love these guys. Along with the combat walkers, they're the spearhead of my Crusty..um..spear.

    Nice paintjob, too. I went with a steel grey, with burnt orange and orange highlights, myself.

    You did these incredibly detailed figs a good deal of brush justice, they look fantastic.

    Ah, man, those are such a sight to behold! And now I must scorn myself for not putting them on my order today...

    Thats uncanny, I am doing almost the reverse of this colour scheme, mostly orange with off white details, I removed the horns/wings from the packs though, I prefer them removed, very good job on yours, well done.
