Dropzone Commander - PHR (Part 4)

A bucketload of photos for my PHR. After being relatively happy with how the dropships turned out, I decided to start on ground units. Here's how the Neptune dropships turned out with all the metals inked. The Army Painter Dark Tone worked a lot better than GW Nuln Oil in the end, so I'll use Dark Tone for everything else.

Walkers

All of the walkers were given an initial pre-shade with black, and then airbrushed with Menoth White Base and Menoth White Highlight.

Vallejo Air Aluminium was painted on one walker as a test, to ensure I got good coverage over the metal areas.

I was happy with the coverage, so I proceeded to paint all the metal areas on the legs and bodies of the walkers.

And from another angle...

The arms were given the same treatment of Vallejo Air Alumnium over the beige colours.

Army Painter Dark Tone applied to all the metal areas:

Backs of the walkers - lots of metal area. The ink settled very well.

Arms after inking:

AFVs

The tanks were painted with the same method. The turrets are magnetised, so I could easily paint the tanks with the turret off.

And with the turrets on...

The Army Painter Dark Tone applied over all the metal areas.

Here's a shot of them all together. I still need to finish the left arms on the walkers, but otherwise, they're ready for an oil wash and have some lights and sensors picked out. The tanks also need their tracks painted.
