Still About

Long time since the last update. Moving and work basically, but some small level of painting has started again. Sneak preview:

Sometimes, raw firepower has its uses.
These guys have been interesting, to say the least, to get even this far. Airbrushed to start with, and kind of just touched up from there. The arms do not align with the weapons properly, and a good deal of cutting and green stuff was used to get them looking semi-acceptable. Most of that is covered up when the shoulder pads go on.

The bases are Sector Imperalis, 32mm. They're not incredibly detailed, but perfect if you want to paint something interesting very quickly. Chose to replicate something I'd seen from a "Duncan Video" and used Death World Forest as a base for some of the struts. A bit of green to contrast with the red of the armour. Steel Legion Drab was added for other areas: I couldn't decide if this was on a world or a starship, so neutral brown. Could be earth, could be wooden flooring. Just to give the base a bit more going on. A bit of Reikland Fleshshade in places, particularly about the rivet to make them look like they're starting to rust, some Agrax Earthshade in places, and that's about it. Except the obvious metal of Leadbelcher and Nuln Oil.

Next will likely be the backpacks glued on, and then the shoulder pads. Only going to paint enough of each part to get the model assembled, and then finish painting them once that's done.
