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.

So Many Cards!

So I recently played a game with a friend, the second scenario of the campaign. You need to make a 60 point list.  We both quickly ran into the problem of too much stuff being out on the table. I had 12 cards out, plus all the other counters and the like. We had trouble keeping track of wounds. There were so many models in tight spaces, that keeping track with dice was hard. Not to mention all the effects. So we started brain storming ideas to shrink some of the clutter, and  keep the board clear for a more visually pleasing game.

I saw someone on the Sedition Wars forum had made printed wound counters that they glued to the bases of the models. I like this but something about picking up the models every time they are wounded kinda rubs me the wrong way. I have also heard of people using super small dice to track wounds. 

This was one of my ideas. It is a rough draft. It took about 2 hours to make...

People are always going to be bringing revenant and Samaritans to a fight, and they all have the same stat line. This way for every five I only need one card, instead of five cards for five models. If I go this route I would have to number the Samaritans bases which wouldn't be to bad but could get annoying.

It is still a wip but I wanted to get some feedback on the idea and the layout. I am thinking that I will either try and make them the same size as the cards. Or I might make them double the size of a normal card to give more room for rules. When they are done (unless I come up with a better idea) I will put up PDFs of the cards I make here for others to use.

I also added a player aid page. Right now it has a vanguard and strain reference sheet in it, made by GeneStealer on the Sedition Wars forums. I will add these cards to it in the future. I also hope to add a painting tutorial page with links to sedition wars painting tutorials.

Cheers.

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.
