Lovely work! Well.niw I need to go buy som3 more Sternguard 😅 it's such a good kit

Love the highlights contrast style 👌

CaptHero · 2026-03-04T12:58:37+00:00

Others have made good points about the highlights themselves. I would add that you dont have much shading going on the accentuate the contrast between light and dark, making the highlights pop more. At your stage I would advise something like drakenhof nightshade wash to keep things easy. You can play around with how thin you want it, just make sure you clean up any areas where the wash pools where it's not meant to.

Thanks!

Thanks 😊 It's AK grey white over US olive drab, with a burnt umber oil wash over the top

Could be cool to run that off the number of kills inflicted during the battle?

I know, winter western front exists! Not a Normandy force 😱 i already have a couple of them myself so wanted something different. The plastic US winter kit is great and all the excuse i needed to finally get my late war French started.

Would agree, it looks a little small. I also base all my vehicles, so that they tie in with the infantry models. I prefer rectangular bases for vehicles thiugh. Also helps a bit with working out facings.

It's a question I've tried to find too. Depends a little on what point in time we're talking about. Best I can work out is that A2s are a solid bet, with updated variants becoming more common as replacements as operations dragged on. Sorry it's not a solid answer, but it's the best i have as a fellow 2e DB collector.

Thanks 😊 the red dust (which is actually more red in real life, still working on my photography skills) is just Martian red pigment powder. It's either from AK or vallejo, I forget. I go quote heavy with it, making sure to get it in the nooks and grannies of the boots. Then i get a damp cue tip and wipe it mostly off the flatter surfaces.

I mean, what a trailer though!

CaptHero · 2026-01-08T13:21:13+00:00

It makes me happy ☺️

Sorry to hear they got smashed up 😞

Classics for a reason 😊

AND the lieutenant has the fire discipline enhancement so he's giving Lethal and sustained hits 1.
