Hurley Drone Painted!

hey all,

I have gotten some good painting time in with the Hurley this last week or so. Decided not to do the popular source lighting on the engines. I spent far to long on its base coat with the air brush, but I am pretty happy with the color and layering I was able to achieve. I tried to put some subtle paint chipping and streaking on parts I thought would get bump and scratched when patrolling narrow corridors. In the end I am pretty happy with the  results but wish somethings had gone a little smoother. The decals I used might of been old or something as they didn't want to stick down right. I decided to leave them cause I thought they still added something to the model. I went a little heavy with the weathering on the base so I might not add any blood but I am still unsure.

Anyway here are some pics!

Let me know what you guys think! hope to used this guy in a game soon. Probably going to work on the Grendel next.

Cheers all.

Corpsmen Vade Painted!

Hey all,

Finally getting back into pace with my Sedition Wars painting. Had two great games yesterday got to play once as strain and once as vanguard.

Got me hyped to finish painting my Vade model and get started on some new projects as well... more on those in a future post!

I started Vade when I was in a real painting slump. Every time I looked at him I didn't like what I saw. But I was finally able to push through and just finish him. There are still somethings I would of liked to have done differently but I think he came out ok. Anyway here are some pictures of him! over all he is a great model lots of nice details and fairly decent pose.

Now that he is done I can move onto the other characters with a more firm scheme in mind for what their uniforms will be.

Cheers all! Feels good to be back at the work bench.

First 10 Strain Done!

Strain Update

So I did a test group of strain, enough for the first scenario. I wanted something relatively quick. I primed them grey and did a white spray over the top for a highlight. In the end I am not sure if it really made a difference. I used a blend of colors for the first coat. I used rotten flesh for the main color, applied wet and painted on some purples, oranges, and greens, and tried some browns to give them some depth. I did a couple layers like this. I than inked some of the exposed muscles with a mix of GW's baal red and scorched brown for darker red. I glazed the models very lightly with medium and scorched brown. I went back with rotten flesh over top to give them a little bit of a highlight.

here are the phase 1 strain.

 Here are some close shots of the phase 2 strain.

And a kinda crappy group shot 10 models in total.

I am not calling these guys done just yet, I am planning to go in with some gloss and maybe do some blood effects on them as well. As to whats next I need to work on some of the Vanguard heroes. Then I might try my hand at some tutorials.

Enjoy, and feel free to ask any questions!

First 12 Vanguard done!

Hey all,

Finished my first 12 vanguard, I wanted them to be quick paint jobs but...>< they took longer than I hoped, and were really frustrating at times.

I started by pre-painting all the bases that came with the set. I did a rust color base and then some hair spray and salt weathering with a light grey airbrushed over top.

I then air brushed the vanguard yellow, with some burnt umber shadows. Then I washed them with badab black and was not happy with the final results. So I went over them with some yellow highlights that took way too long. Finally, I washed them with Model Mates rust brown. I finished the bases with the same Model Mates, and painted the edges with black.

Would be glad to hear what you guys think.
