The Thin Beige Line
Maul and Sith Probe Droid Expansion
With the arrival of this latest Operative Expansion I have two new units for my Separatist forces. As they’re going to be pretty quick to get table ready, I decided to start by tackling the Probe Droids.
Learning from my previous mistakes I kept the models, flight stands and bases unassembled this time. For convenience I primed the droids the same colour as the bases (the Khaki primer I have used throughout).
I fixed the probe droids to a piece of sprue for ease of handling. I used a tiny spot of superglue hoping they would pull off without too much paint lifting. This extra process seemed preferable to risking getting paint in the transparent flight stands.
The droid chassis was painted in Vallejo Luftwaffe Uniform Blue and the optic lens and aerial tip were painted with GW Ironbreaker.
The next step was to give the entire chassis a coat of Contrast Black Templar. I thinned it roughly 2:1 with Contrast Medium to help the flow and reduce the pigment.
