Thanks! TBH I was interested in how they look, I love how small shapes with low detail can be made to look a certain way from farther away, as in low-poly stylized game art.
Kinda like looking at a painting from afar gets you the intended experience, but zooming in can tell you so much about the technique that was used to achieve it.
Are the bases store-bought like that, or did you make them as well?
Yeah, it’s pretty much the appeal of 6mm 40k for me… Much less detail on the infantry is required to make an army look good. Vehicles still require at least some amount of work to look decent, but as even they are smaller than ordinary 28mm models, even those are faster to finish. Wrap up an army with two or three superheavy tanks and a single titan as the eyecatcher and it’s done.
The bases are all done by gluing bird sand down and painting it.
Infantry strips are the e40k/ea era gw bases:
Superheavy bases in the image are still the 60mm/1mm gw plastic round bases, but I recently bought some mdf replacements since I ran out of them and they can’t be told apart once they’re painted:
Small round infantry and skimmer bases are just 5 cent coins 😅:
