A couple of issues with these:
First - photos aren't entirely satisfactory with light available, I'll see if I can take better over the weekend.
Second - these miniatures were undercoated long ago, so basing wasn't quite settle firmly enough to drybrush properly, also they were undercoated white, and will definitely switch to black after this
Third - a long time since I've painted anything in this scale, so my 6mm techniques need a big shake up to cope (as Cyril foresaw a few weeks back over coffee!)

These are from GZG's 25mm Stargrunt range, mostly from the ESU line, but the scout team are from their PAU range - but this power uses a lot of ESU equipment in canon, so they're perfect for second-line troops.

I did take work-in-progress photos, so if anyone's interested I can post those with some commentary.

Stand By...

I did promise something on my current work in progress, a platoon of infantry for the Project Build over on the Guild.
I have been painting for Friday's deadline, and have been taking photos (in bad light) along the way, but haven't had a change to blog about it yet.

In the meantime here's the TO+E I've created for the government forces involved in the Rebellion on Novaya Sakha (the vehicles are in task 4, and the infantry in task 2)

Hopefully I'll have a bit of breathing space tonight to post photos of progress so far...

These four drones will back up the EuroFed Marine platoon in the jungles.

In other news, I've started work on my ESU platoon for my Guild project build. I expect to have something to report at the weekend...
