Jodain's SW:L Hobby Weekend
Episode 7: The Force Changes
You may remember Paul from the battle report, well after posting the picture of my fleet troopers in Episode 5 he commented that the greens all merged into one and they looked a bit like green soldier men. Well I considered the comment and even though in the flesh they don’t quite look that bad I decided that the traitor green hadn’t really worked. I think the issue was the Military Shader over the top which enhanced the green and diluted the grey tint in it. So last night whilst catching up the XLBS Live show I started to repaint the jackets on all the troopers. I should thank @warzan for his comment about the troopers it does mean a lot.
So the jackets are now painted in Coat d’Arms Mid Stone, with a Soft Tone Wash and highlights from Mid Stone mixed with P3 Menoth Base. I also went back and highlighted the boots with the original colour (AP Leather Brown) and P3 Menoth Base. The last colour added was Vallejo Ultramarine Blue for the rank pips on the officer.
Next is basing.
The painted fleet troopers awaiting bases.On another point I am glad that the team launched this event as I had lost the desire to paint things and this weekend forced me to find the time and reminded me that I do enjoy painting and when I put time into it I can get some good results out. So a big thank you to Warzan and the OTT team.
