Finished Pig Iron Ferals

First completed figures of 2013 - some Pig Iron Kolony Feral troops.

The figures are from the Pig Iron Kolony Feral range, although there may be one or two figures from some of their other Kolony groups in there. I decided to keep the colour scheme quite simple, and to try and create a "scavenged" look -  as if they'd obtained their uniforms and equipment from a number of different sources.

Painting was just base colour, shading with Citadel washes (the old ones - I still haven't bought any of the new ones) then quick highlights. Weapons were edged with dark grey rather than metal. Not having to paint any flesh was a welcome change.

I'm not sure the ground really worked out. I basecoated in Vallejo black-red, washed with Citadel Wash Gryphonne Sepia, then highlighted with a mix of Vallejo black-red and orange-red. The highlight looked okay when it was wet, but pretty much disappeared when it dried :-(

Pig Iron do other troops in the Feral range, so I may pick up some more figures from them at some point.

Heavy weapons figures

Command figures - rather a lot for such a small unit

Ferals with guns

More Ferals with guns, including sniper rifle

I slightly converted one of the command figures. The original had a weird mace thing in his right hand, and looked more 40K than I was happy with. I removed it, then cut down a spare laser pistol type weapon I had lying around and glued it to his hand.

The completed unit.
