Mr Evils Project Soviet MI (finished pics on page 3)

[Mr Evil]

yup project soviet MI is under way

first up is to build 37 LAMI and 5 EXO suits

oh and get 2 more chas for my collection, maybe 4 !

this army was tested last year against Grey and had alot of success, it has a few secrets to it that maybe over time may become visable

basic premise is that 3/4 of the points is the exo armour, the rest is basic LAMI in as many squads as possable, this gives alot of ground troops with the exo suits being used as a mobile tank battalion.

pics soon, once weather breaks and a bit of light is with me il get them undercoated, just need to build them tonight.

good luck painting all those, I gave after 2.

Okay, must try drybrushing again. Will do Mr.Evil.

 

[Mr Evil]

all lami and 4 exo suits base coated already ! think il give them a rest for the rest of tonight though, should get them finished by weekend i hope !!! depends on outside commitments.

 

[Rob_A]

your too fast for your own 2 boots mate.
I spent 6 hours painting 1 venerable. 1!
and talking at the same time.

 

[dyssnowman]

Sounds interesting, Mr. Evil. Makes me think that I should actually finish my "army men" style LAMI. Yep, green uniform, green helmet, green gun...no green faces though.

 

[Kristovich]

Well, reminds me to finish my Swedish MI.

Anyhow, will there be pictures on these guys later on?

 

[Mr Evil]

il get some pics up later, to be honest base coated MI arnt the most exciting thing to feast your eyes on, but i am taking pics at each stage.

GF put a rubbish film on lst night so i got 1/4 of them done to stage 2 (painting sleeves and trousers with grave yard earth.

oh and i got the nuke on the exo commander sorted as well

 

[Mr Evil]

ok well here is an idea on what i need to paint, not including comander (hes still WIP untill i find a head for him)

 

[Kristovich]

Seems like you got alot to do there!

Good luck!

 

[Mr Evil]

just ordered the final bits "4 chas units"

Have fun, and hey, just like me, one razakish type dude waving his hand around, have you ever thought of making his open hand bionic?

 

[Mr Evil]

I painted up 40 LAMI in recent weeks. It really starts to get to you after a while. I've another 60 on order though.

he im on the second colour with 7 left to do and going a bit nuts, lucky 3 kids and a gf dont let you spend tolong on them so i do it little and often and they seem to fly by.

i was gonna go just all lami but the exo suits were to good to pass up on, and they eat up 3/4 of the points !!

 

[cOwgummi]

soviet MI...well i'm surprised by the lack of conversions so far :wink:

but anyways, having always been a player of the russians whenever i had the opportunity in any game, computer, tabletop, whatever, i have to say:
URRAH!!!! go out an smite the fascist bugs, comrad :twisted:
