Staying in the Far East
Up next Yu Jing. I have never been sold on the Yu Jing faction, I don’t know if this is because of the models or the background but something about this faction just does not sing to me (Panoceania is the same but more meh!)
However these were freebies so I will not complain and as they are going to be used by a group of people at work (probably in gloves) I don’t really have to like them! That said the Code One starter sent models are nicer than these older ones so maybe it’s the sculpts.
With each faction I have made the decision to base them in an archetypal way, so the Yu Jing is going to be based on city streets. Smooth but with road markings….well that’s the plan. I was keen to stick to the orange paint scheme because it is there identifying feature and it does look good on the table. My orange mix is black undercoat (Halfords) Citadel Jokero Orange all over as a base and then I used Fuegan Orange and Fire Dragon bright both Citadel by wet blending with a homemade wet pallet (Takeaway tub, 2 layers of kitchen roll soaked with water and a layer of no waxy baking paper) to mix the colour and get the gradual change in tone. I used Yriel Yellow (Citadel) to highlight the edges and used it for a very light dry brush.
I’m not convinced that these models will make a coherent and force but it should be fun to find out.
