Bot War - Mercenaries
Day 17 - Oleeta
Oleeta was going to be the original leader of the Mercenaries faction, a Valiant Sell Sword who is a beast in combat, she was first available as a Promo model, but has since become a mainstream release and has also had a collectors edition version as well.
Oleeta has a very unique aesthetic in the Mercenaries faction, she has lots of curves and is mostly formed of single layers of armour plates instead of the big bulky armour that is prevalent amongst the rest.
With these design cues I decided to paint her slightly differently to the other bits, instead opting for a black Templar contrast basecoat, this over the white lateral prime helped to instantly create some contrast and the bluey/green tint in the black Templar colour worked as a nice starter point for the rear of the model. Next up I used Vallejo Model Colour Dark Sea Blue mixed with a P3 Menoth White Highlight workup to paint in the volumes of her body instead of going for specific shapes.
This was a 3hr speed paint, it’s only tabletop standard like the rest but I’m really happy with the result. I managed to use the P3 beaten purple spot colour in the centre of her chest and in her eyes, and her shield features the same greys I have been using for my other bots.
Overall its a great result that I’d love to apply to the collectors edition model I also have some day.
