Star Wars Legion. BigGrim's Ever-Growing Separatist Army!
No match for Droidekas!
With the success of the B2s, I moved on to my Destroyers (what a pain in the backside these are to build) STAPs, (Also a pain in the bum. Especially attaching them to the flight stems.) and the Dwarf Spider Droids.
As with the B2s, I started with a Platemail primer by Army Painter. Again, we had a heavy Nuln Oil ink wash, followed by a drybrush with Ironbreaker, followed by Stormhost silver.
This time however, I created a mix of 1 Flesh Tearers Red to 2 Contrast Medium and I painted two thin coats of this mix on the carapace of the Destroyers, the dome of the Dwarf Spiders and the bodywork of the STAPs.
The eyes of the Spiders are Ironbreaker with a stipple of Stormhost towards the center. Then I applied a coat of Talassar Blue.
The B1 riders of the STAPs were primed Wraithbone by GW, then washed with Agrax Earthshade. Following that, a drybrush of Ushabti Bone (GW). The Riders were glued to their mounts and then the STAPs mounted to their flightstands. However, this took both poly cement and Gorilla Glue gel to EVENTUALLY get the gits to stick together.
Finally, I based them all in the same manner as the B2s.
