Dystopian wars table, terrain and fleets
ooooooo modern stuff happens
well! with the new edition i bit the bullet and bought some new stuff i started off with the new hunt the promethius boxed set and gifted the commonwealth half to my mate who had shown an interest in starting in gaming once again after many years of nothing. i created a monster!
This put me in the position of starting a new fleet the enlightened, i hadnt even unboxed that when my mate had ordered his robots and rigs.
Although the rigs were lovely little kits we had a plan for a narrative campaign and i wanted a degree of kit bashing to fit in with this. i used some dropfleet commander spares to add some extra guns around its perimeter and also to simulate fenders to prevent boarding in key areas. its not everyones cup of tea but fits in with our ideas.
The painting.
i started off with a boltgun metal prime from a spray can
then nuln oil wash all over, once dried i added a watered down dark brown dipping formula shade then when nearly dry wiped off in key areas with a cotton bud.
it was then time for colour so simply added this in two coats a base and then subtle highlight
finally it was time to go batshit crazy with the rust effects using both powders and fluids. A really good one is modelmates or i think its renamed dirty down its magic in a pot.
