Imperial Architecture & Some Industrial Mining Equipment

Greetings. Having had a recent spurt of enthusiasm I have finished more gaming items. not really models but terrain. Quite a while ago I bought Killteam and put the terrain together. Sadly I undercoated them grey, painted up a couple of bits in suitably drab slightly darker than the undercoat grey and stopped. Mainly because I found them very time consuming and I wasn't overly happy with the result. Then came along sorcery paints (others might know them as contrast paints) and I bashed out the stuff below in 3 or 4 hours.

Ruined Buildings

The non contrast colours I used on these lads were Vallejo Silver, Army Painter True Copper and Army Painter Gold, all drowned in Army Painter Strong Tone. The walls were Black Templar  and the floor sections were Leviadon Blue. Happy with both colours on grey undercoat, I actually thought it was a bit of a con when GW said you'd get two different effects depending on what colour you primed it with. So anyway, my battle reports will look a smidge better now.

Hiding behind the big ruins is my Mantic Landing Pad. As it's not the star of the post that's all I have to say about that.

Same model from a bit closer.

After moving slightly to the right I took another pic.

Tectonic Fragdrill

Funnily enough I finished the Fragdrill before the ruins bar the tiny wheels, I painted the drill with mainly contrast paints. Nazdreg Yellow for the platforms, Black Templar on the structure which as you can see gives a very different look as this model was primed white, Warp lightning for the drill body. Same method for the metal parts. silver and copper with a strong tone wash, voila! Some models for my tiny men to fight over. I'm not sure if I like the rules enough to actually use it as a Fragdrill but it's a class model that will see plenty of passive battlefield time.

Another piece of scenery lurking in the background is my castle, not quite finished so it may be in a post in the not too distant.

This model isn't actually glued together so I can detach the drill so it can moonlight as a deathstrike missile that burrows rather than flies to it's target. 
So there you have it, my scenery collection is getting prettier. Soon everyone will be clamoring for some batreps! Next on the scenery list is my armoured containers again with contrast paints them might see there own entry before the new year!

Thanks for reading.
