Covenant of Antarctica - Xenophon Small Walker

These 44 tiny models are Xenophon small walkers for the Covenant of Antarctica faction of Dystopian Wars, known as the Enlightened in the third edition of the game


The models were primed black, rough brush of cheap silver paint. Metal then lightly drybrushed with Privateer Press Radiant Platinum. The bronze parts were painted GW Retributor Armour (I ran out of the PP Rhulic Gold I used for my Naval forces) and entire model washed with GW Nuln Oil. Cygnar Yellow used on the bulbous tops of the walkers and the inside of the engine funnels painted PP Necrotite Green. The base was painted cheap silver around the edge, inside painted cheap dark brown, GW gravel affixed with craft glue, then twice Gal Force snow was applied in clumps. Because the models are so small, I put the flocks on so that clear channels were in frount of the model to the edge of the base. Even though they have a turn radius of zero, it helps to know where they are pointed.


In the older edition of the game, they had great movement, decent forward firing gun, tough, and deployable in squadrons of two to five models. They are also all terrain and hard to hit.
