Shadow War - Armageddon: Cadian Kill Team part 4

The Veteran Sergeant.

Just need to finish off the base.

Shadow War - Armageddon: Cadian Kill Team part 3

So the eight man kill team has been base coated and the first shade wash added.

Veteran Grenadier, Veteran Guardsman and two Guardsmen.

Veteran Sergeant and three Veteran Guardsmen.

Base coat is Citadel Zandri Dust spray.

Veterans have Citadel Mournfang Brown armour, helmets and weapon furniture.

Regular Guardsmen have Citadel Castellan Green armour, helmets and weapon furniture.

Boots and packs are Citadel XV88. The Sergeant's ammo pouches are Citadel Steel Legion Drab.

The Aquillas are Humbrol Grey Violet (the colour on the top is not representative). I have also used it for the teeth of the chain sword and the bayonet edges.

Flesh is Citadel Bugmans Glow.

The figures were then given a shade wash of Citadel Agrax Earthshade.

I need to go round and do some tidying up before adding highlights.

Shadow War - Armageddon: Cadian Kill Team part 2

So yesterday I bought the Zandri Dust spray and undercoated the Kill Team.

 Sergeant, two Veterans and a Guardsman.

Grenadier, two Veterans and a Guardsman.

Shadow War - Armageddon: Cadian Kill Team part 1 - detail

Daniel, the local acolyte of the Great Womble asked if I had added some type of sight to one of the Cadian Kill Team figures.

We were unable to zoom in on the original photograph on the blog, so I went back to the original.

The original has that las rifle rather out of focus, but you might be able to see it is unaltered.

They have received their Zandri Dust undercoats, they will be on the painting table when they have dried.

Anvil Industries: Martian Orbital Fusileers - part two

So as mentioned earlier I bought one of Anvil Industries "regiments", the Martian Orbital Fusileers.

Scale photograph showing that it is of comparable scale and build to the Crooked Dice William Killian.

Now this is a prototype build and paint, once I am happy with it, I will build the rest of the squad.

Now, parts of this process were inspired by a paint scheme in the magazine Tabletop Games relating to painting the parts for a board game set in a galaxy far, far away...

So, first, the figure was undercoated with Citadel Corax White spray.  It does lookalike I should have shaken the can a bit more.

Vallejo black was used to block in the gun (avoiding the coils that make up part of the "barrel"), the spare energy core for the gun and the visor.

 There are two soft packs on the back pack, they were painted Citadel Steel Legion Drab. The base texture (Woodland Scenics Cinder fine ballast) was painted with Vallejo Desert Yellow (the actual base colour will be Citadel Zandri Dust, but I have not bought that yet)

The energy cores and the coils were then painted with Citadel Ultranarine blue.

 Citadel Nuln Oil shade was then applied to all the white areas.

 Citadel Agrax Earthshade was applied to the packs.

It really brings out the details.  I did wonder about painting the torus on the back pack blue, but decided that the figure had enough glowy bits already.

The figure was then dry brushed with Citadel Ceratite White.

 Where the dry brushing was too heavy on the gun, it was overpainted with Vallejo Black Grey. Additional white dry brushing was applied to the coils and the energy cores. They were then inked with Citadel Gulliman Blue glaze. The material parts of the suit were shaded with Citadel Agrax Earthshade.

The visor received a Gulliman Blue glaze and the lens of the gun sight was painted with Citadel Mephiston Red.

 The soft packs received another shade wash with Agrax Earhshade.

For subsequent models, I will repaint the soft packs after dry brushing.

The base needs painting, highlighting and detailing.

Rogue Stars - The Rebels

Rogue Stars is a skirmish war-game from Osprey.

Players field forces of 3 - 6 figures.

I decided to use some of my Hasslefree figures to form a Rebel force.

Dashing pilot, Heroic fighter, Psionic warrior and reliable co-pilot.
