Scots from Spaaaaace - Sorting my Storm Wardens
Shadowspear - Infiltrators (with bonus Lieutenant)
I usually start painting boxes with the characters or ‘models of more interest’ first. This has so far been the case with shadowspear with the characters however I wanted to do a test scheme on the infiltrators first.
I love the pose of the guy chucking the smoke grenade so had a pop at him first. Now these guys sit somewhere between a Riever and an Intercessor on the table top so I didn’t want to use the same scheme as either of those.
I went for a hybrid for the phobos armour instead. The Rievers are predominantly silver (more of an unpolished/rougher paint scheme in my head for them to blend in), and the Intercessors was the ‘standard’ scheme. So for the Infiltrators I went with completely silver legs and arms with a blue torso. All in all I am really happy with it, especially this first marine…
(p.s. something I also played around with was the highlighting on the silver. I am trying to remove large patches of plain leadbelcher to make it more chrome-esque. I am yet to crack it but I think it’s getting there.)
Here’s a bonus Lieutenant with the same colour scheme as I imagine him dropping in with this squad. That polishes off the characters. Really loving this box so far.
