Space 2021 - A Star Saga

Veer-myn. God damned varmints. Well, at least we know the station is relatively intact. Rats normally have good sense not to stick around on sinking ships. 

A new chapter and a complete change. This time the mercs are hired to recapture the Blackstar Station from an infestation of Veer Myn. Only, these aren’t like your normal, run of the mill Veer Myn, these are something new. They have embraced strange new technologies.

Honestly I wasn’t really keen on the Veer Myn.  They’re not bad miniatures, I just don’t really like the Veer-myn all that much. However they still presented me with an opportunity to do some experiments.  Sticking with the default colour scheme, they all seem to have all metal, fully enclosed suits, presumably they act as some kind of Faraday’s Cage to protect them from all the weird energy they’re using. That made priming an obvious choice – Leadbelcher. I then gave them a black wash and an aggrax wash to give them a really grimy finish and left it at that. Then, I picked out all the green and gold trims directly over the metal base using contrast paints. This keeps an overall metallic look, like they have dyed the metal. I think that really helps maintain a slightly lower tech theme that I think should go with the Veer-myn.

Lastly I picked out some of the little details by undercoating them in white and just popping some contrast paints over them. Things like vials of liquid or blades and the like.

Now, unlike the Eiras contract, I am going to do a single post for all of the minions because I used exactly the same colour scheme for them all. There isn’t really much variation between the different units other than the weapons they’re holding. As well as saving time on writing blog posts, it also made painting them all incredibly quick, just a couple of nights work.
