First platoon of Jump Infantry for my Mercenary force in Battletech
This was my first time painting infantry in 6mm, and I'm very glad I opted to let the wash do most of the work and avoid layering, as I would lose my mind
The infantry models are lovingly resculpted rogue trader era imperial guardsmen, I found them on Cults under the name Retro Guard
I thought those perfectly fit the vibe I wanted, so I slapped on a generic steampunky jetpack, scaled them down, and voila
I know the leaves are pretty big compared to the scale, but I'm not planning on changing it, I like it
Line work on some new concept art.
