Greetings Terrans, happy to share the first minis painted for my Mordion project – 1st squad of 1 Platoon. I shared details of the build & where I sourced all the bits in the last post so I won’t repeat myself, but TLDR, this is going to be a horde army on a budget so the paint job needs to be quick and easy. For inspiration, I really didn’t need to look much further than this piece by John Blanche – that also graced the cover of the RT04 box:

And this is what I ended up with:

I went with the grey/black scheme, but also picked out the webbing pouches in green for a bit of variety. All basecoating was done with Contrast paints, and most highlighting was done quickly with a drybrush. The exception is the flesh, (which had a single ‘proper’ highlight & shade, but I skipped the eyes), and the lenses. The camo stripes & helmet detail went on last & took the longest to do, but all in all I think I did these in a week over 3 sessions. Not too bad at all! Here’s a closeup of the Sgt, lascannon & grenade launcher, showing the bits from Anvil Industries:

And one final shot of the whole squad:

Now I just need to repeat this for the remaining 3 squads plus command!
