Wargames Factory Shock Troops: Test Paint

We may be doing another Kill Team 40K event at Phantom, and this time I thought I might get creative with the Imperial Guard list and build some "tech Guard" using Wargames Factory's excellent Shock Troops plastic kit. At 18 multi-part plastic models for $20, they're one of the best bargains in the known universe, and the quality and scale are comparable to GW's own IG models.

Of course, YMMV on these models, but I like them quite a bit. I decided to spice them up by mixing in some of my own Aegis Figures Sci-Fi Ganger Heads. Here is the first test-paint results:











I decided to try something different and add a dash of color to the scheme, so I stippled some blues and creams onto the armor plates to show that the trooper's armor had once been a pristine color, but had since been worn with age and use.

More Shock Troop and head combos to come in later posts!

Thanks for checking out the blog!
