Welcome to Armies on Parade; Army Showcase where I display (in hopefully good detail) the best of the all great looking armies I’ve featured from major tournaments all across the United States.
Besides converting the dreads to be the un-released at the time Ironclads, he also painted up the army in a non-conventional scheme and based it as if on Martian soil.
Back then you could still find some of the old colored primer cans from GW, so he used a spray can of Camo Green, and highlighted it with a mix of Camo and Ivory (from Vallejo Model color).
Then he used Gore Red on the guns, and accented the figures with beige on the shoulders and brass for the trim.
Overall it turned out great, and looks very unique! A great start to amazing looking army. Unit pictures below.
