My Speedpainting Method for Armageddon Steel Legion

I recently speed-painted some Armageddon Steel Legion troopers using the Death Korps of Krieg models from Kill Team: Octarius. They'll actually see their first action on the table in Five Parsecs From Home. I was able to paint up half a dozen troops in about two hours.

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.

[@NorasHobbyverse]

Interesting scheme, they turned out great! I'm gunna need scheme ideas, I'm planning on painting my pile of shame for a video. This one will be great for some of my more grunt like models.

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!

[@MTFTabletop]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cameronwillman4980]

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!

[@MTFTabletop]

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.

I think you’ve sold me on 5 Parsecs… great videos!

[@MTFTabletop]

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.

[@MTFTabletop]

Oof. I've increasingly found painting for army scale games exhausting in general. Forty Necrons at once sounds rough.

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?

[@MTFTabletop]

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 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?

[@MTFTabletop]

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