Amazing results for only a few hours! I’m getting a 3D printed Valour Korps kill team together for a friend and this looks like a great way to get them speedpainted!
I really liked the ww2 look of another version of these figures, they were basically the same but they had outhouse gas masks and goggles either on their helmets or on their face, speaking of their helmets hey were my fav part, they looked like ww2 German Fallschirmjäger helmets. This imperial guard unit is defenitly my 2nd favourite, my fav being the Chadians.
They look great, impressive results for a speed paint. a fast brush with white and one pass with some red ink from an air brush on the lasgun coils and eye lenses would give some cool contrast and give you a point of pop, to contrast with the drab camouflage. May defeat the idea of speed painting when adding those extra steps though. Cheers!
You're right, and I have considered revisiting them with some neon red to give a pop of color. I'll almost certainly do that on the rest when I get to them as well.
Love the video great content love the washed look as well, do you have a video on painting white piece/minis or a plan to tackle a white paint project?
I have a Kill Team Starter Set on the way, and I'm leaning toward doing the veteran guardsmen as Steel Legion, as well. It looks like you trimmed/shaved off the crest on the Krieg helmets to get the more rounded Steel Legion helmets. Any tips for getting that right?

If you want to go down the Armageddon route then I would use the ramjuager from wargame Atlantic. I use them myself.
I've seen those, and they do look good. I happened to have the DKoK models on hand thanks to a sweet second-hand deal.

I think you’ve sold me on 5 Parsecs… great videos!
Thanks! My first Five Parsecs after action/batrep is coming Soon (tm).
I 'Speed painted" 40 necron warriors. i did one step a day which took 3-4 hours and holy cow it was draining.
Oof. I've increasingly found painting for army scale games exhausting in general. Forty Necrons at once sounds rough.

Thanks! I don't think I've featured much white. I tend to prefer to use off-whites. That said, it's something to put on the idea list.

I just used some fairly fine (probably 400 grain) sandpaper to knock the ridge off then really fine (800 ish) to smooth it out.
