Shadow War Armageddon Industrial Terrain Painted

I finally got around to painting my Shadow War Armageddon terrain. There are a couple of homemade pieces in there to extend how far the plastic kits go (Pringles canister off on the right and peanut canister under the large central platform). I also plan to use my pumping station with this since I built the platform to match the height, but it didn't get in the picture because it is still over at Pete's from our last game.





I tried to keep it simple, but it was still a long job just because there is so much surface area. All the paints except the Typhus Corrosion and washes were cheap craft store paints. Recipe was black primer, heavy drybrush dark grey, drybrush medium gray, then a wash with a mix of Agrax/Nuln oil, light drybrush of light grey, then primarily Typhus Corrosion for the grime and weathering. I wanted it to be quick and look decent and to stay in the background without overpowering the models as the center of attention on the battlefield. I think this recipe gets the mix right.

It looks like I need to add a few more of the clip-on wall/fences for cover in a few more places. Eventually, I would like to add more to it until we have enough to play a game using the Zone Mortalis rules on this terrain.

Drop Troops - New Additions and Full Army Recap

After buying the Imperialis Militias and Cults army list, I realized I was going to need a lot more men to make my units legal for Horus Heresy. So I painted up enough riflemen to give me a full squad of 20, plus a few medics to add into my units as needed. Here are the new models and a look at the full army so far. It just needs a commander to be FOC-legal for Horus Heresy or 40k.

First up, some converted Auxilia Medicae. Grav-chute strikes are extremely dangerous so these guys will be in high demand and given no shortage of opportunities to apply their arts.
