In an AHPC where I`m trying to paint up as many 6mm forces to "battle readiness', it`s time for some Science Fiction forces.
Hailing
from the Brigade Models Neo-Soviet range, these vehicles will instead
double as Zeon forces for my Gundam heavy force in Future War Commander.
Though for game purposes, that is actually the "Cav Open Market" book in the rulebook...
And
so 2 Bison Support Tanks, 4 Rosomakha Light Tanks, 3 Molotok SP Guns, 2
Volk Assault Guns, 2 Shershen AA,4 Laska tankettes and 4 Bison MBT's,
Of
course, if it's a force made to represent Gundam's, one needs to add a
couple of Mobile Suits in the entry, and to that end I painted up three
of these 1/400th scale gasaphon prepaint models. Standing still about
the height of 30mm, the Acguy and Zock are general aquatic production
suits of the Principality of Zeon, making up the backbone of their
forces for war on and in the seas.
To that end, the whole armoured company I painted up this entry consists
of 21 armoured vehicles and 2 "28mm scale" infantry models, which makes 21 x 2 points and 2 x 5 points, totalling 52 points.
Sieg Zeon!

Being a big Gundam fan, I think this is a very cool idea to mock something up to fight battles in the Gundam universe. The models themselves look the part and are yet again from a new vendor to me, so very nice to see.
The painting is really nice here too, super neat and clean and everything works colour wise. The vehicles especially look super cleanly done! My favourite though is the light green mecha with the claws. The colour choice looks perfect and looks like a Gundam/RE kit that usually has different than normal colours for Gundams.
I would love to see some pictures of all of these setup in a game at some point, as I think that would make for some interesting views.

Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.
