Blue Team
well…. Blue Team never quite made it, or rather never got its blue. As it happened at the time I was putting together a Talons of the Emperor Kill Team using a B/W-grey scale scheme. Partly for speed painting reasons and partly for the visual effect. The technique I use turns out not to be that quick, but it is effective so I applied it as the base for the Pano troops.
When I came to applying the blue – GW contrast Talassar Blue is makes for pretty good Pano blue – I thought this looks good so left it. Added a few red ink highlights for effect. The Knight’s helmet isn’t quite right yet. For the red I use MiG Ammo Crystal Red which is great for lenses. But the viscous nature of the paint makes it hard to get into the very very narrow slits here.
The bases aren’t done as I didn’t know what I wanted to do at the time or if this would work. Sometime in the future these will be stripped and redone, quite likely the the same scheme. It’s all part of the experiment to see how much wear and tear the miniatures will suffer. Many many layers of thin varnish were applied.
Note: I run Bolts as Fusiliers just because I prefer the models.
