Finally, high quality pictures of the Vostroyan Squad I painted. Click for higher resolution.
Vostroyans were released as some kind of poster boys for the Cities of Death expansion for Warhammer 40.000. As a result of the “shiney new toy syndrome” I bought the battleforce (which contained 2 Infantry and 1 command squad) and some blisters, maybe some day to be used as Stormtroopers in a Witch Hunter or Guard become. Eventually it became clear I’d never come around to paint all of them so I sold almost everything I had but kept my five favourite sculpts. I really like the gothicness and the steampunk and russian influence even though some of the sculpts are a bit sloppy proportion-wise.
On the painting side I wanted to use a more realistic and military palette as opposite to my Eldar, on which I use a lot of bright colours. I also tried out a verdigris on bronze effect.

Wow, your Vostroyan's look fantastic! I love the palette of colors you used, it looks very authentic on them.
They look great- lots of nice little bits of detials to bring out.
Beautiful work there – love the turqouise verdigris! Great contrast with the muted palette.
Nice paintjob dude! The colours you've used give those vosotroyans another perspective, and a very cool one indeed!
Nice Vostroyans, green looks better on them that red coats!
Lovely! Id love to see you do Vostroyan Snipers as well, since I have painted a couple of those myself ^^
