Been working on these on and off since October-ish. Kill Team Tau Pathfinders with a vaguely WW2 Soviet summer uniform inspired color scheme, and an Awesome and Shadowhawk from Battletech. Still need to go back and do highlights and some details (like the lenses on the helmets/drones) and basing.

Starting to sand and wash pieces for a Coldstar Commander suit. I'm new to Warhammer and mini painting in general, but excited to start building up some robots!

Not entirely sure what I want to do with the bases yet, but I'm leaning towards some basic brown dirt with some greenery.

Also, when you say you're "sanding and washing" the coldstar, what do you mean, exactly? You talking about some painting technique, or just rinsing it in water to get debris off?

Just cleaning up the spots where the parts were attached to the sprue and removing the mold lines. I'll wash the parts of with a little dish soap to make sure all the tasty microplastics-cool are off.
