Since specialist games launched I've generally been able to avoid getting sucked into any of the new games. Including the various expansions of 40k (BSF being the only exception).
Even with the announcement of AI I felt indifferent, as I'm patiently waiting for BFG

However when they started showing the models for AI it was impossible to say no. I'm a sucker for the Thunderbolt and Marauder.
So here I am I'm slowly making a start on my starter set, I haven't had a game yet. I will see how the game play is if I'm going to invest further into it or just collect the awesome planes

Snooping around seems like my colour schemes aren't too different from others ideas of a heavy WW2 theme. The Thunderbolts in particular will draw heavily from the P51 and the Marauders from B17s.
Anyhow now the important stuff

Vallejo metallics are literally perfect for my scheme


Had a blue green grey from a USAF vallejo paint set figured I could use it on my Marauders

Had a bit more time yesterday to use the airbrush. Shaded the Marauders and hit it with a slightly different shade of grey. Happy with the result next up will be recess shading and details.
Target bouys are red so the pilots can easily distinguish between friendly planes during live fire drills. Apparently the xenos think the colour goes faster...


I haven't done the additional weapons yet.
I've decided I will probably go with RoC because WYSIWYG on such small models seems needless
