Easy One-Coat Steel Legion - Speedpaint, Contrast & Washes [How I Paint Things]

Описание: Forgive me if I'm sounding a little croaky in this video; it's not been great news for health in the House of Sledge the last few days! Darktide got into me good, and with the release of the Steel Legion-styled cosmetics for player characters, I got hit again by a wave of nostalgia and decided to take it easy today with something nice, simple, and fast.

The Armageddon Steel Legion were an army that I always wanted as a kid. Simple to paint, they look dead cool, and all those tanks! While ordinarily I'd suggest it's easy enough to trim the vent from the top of the new plastic Krieg miniatures and paint them up as Steel Legion, these guys are 3D prints. Having been asked in the past that I not advertise where I source my STLs, you'll need to do a little Google-fu to find them; they're not all that difficult to locate, especially with the hint to go looking for 6-8/15mm versions. Cults3D is a good place to start.

I scaled mine up 184% from the 15mm originals, though you could eyeball it a little and try anything between 178-185% for 'true' 28mm to more modern 40k sizes.
