@Imperious:
No its called the Doomsday Chicken variation. I play it like a berserker who may attack anybody, while they try to win. Its moves are random and it can take damage and die. Some newTechs allow you to control it for a time, but the enemy can blow up the transmitter that controls it.
I also play a Giant Ants variation based on Them! 50’s sci-fi movie
Them! was an awesome movie!

I guess we are going to have to wait for AAE40.

I love the U.S Navy, especially those carriers!
Can’t wait to see the British-Indian pieces vibrantly brought to life.

Hey Chad,
when you paint the infantry, which areas of the body do you paint first… after priming that is?

I just think of them as a person putting on layers - skin, then hair, then clothes, then accessories.

Logical. Cool, thanks.

I think this approach works best. You’ll find that skin often needs more than one coat to get the correct color, and by the end of the job, you need to touch up some parts anyway. I generally do a base coat on everything, then once I get to the accessories (IE gun, backpack, etc) I start putting the paint on thick. After all the basic coats are finished I go back and touch up the skin, then helmet, then clothes.
Make sure to use exact recipes when mixing paints (IE 1 to 1, 1 to 3) and to write them down, as when you go back to do touch-ups, you’ll have trouble blending in with previous colors.

Thanks for the advice Chad, I appreciate it.

These look so amazing!! Great Job.

First off, awesome job on the paint jobs and camo schemes.
Second, have you ever considered making physical modifications to the pieces? Things like making national flags on the ships and carving headgear to make bush hats or Para berets or filing down the shorts socks combo on the British infantry?
the last one bothers me because I always disliked the British infantry sculpt having a uniform that was only worn in the western desert (ok, briefly in Burma until they realized it was a very bad idea) The British infantry sculpt was the only one that doesn’t reflect a universal looking figure.
