Delving back into Deadzone
Mini update
31st January 2023
Just a quick mini update.
I’m hoping to run some demo games at a local club this weekend (all being well) using the 3rd ed starter layout.
I have the terrain ready for it, but not the minis.
The minis were built on a previous ‘terrain interlude’, so now it was on to painting. I knew the rough colours I wanted for the Veer Myn, but not for the GCPS – so I started with the Veer Myn.
The Veer Myn are readyWraithbone prime, then liberal use of contrast paints, and finished off with normal paints. They aren’t amazing, but they do the job (and with my eyesight they seem ok ? )
For the GCPS I was tempted by the green Mantic scheme. However, the green paint I bought (Castellan Green) just seemed too dark when on the model. Next I tried a heavy drybrush with ivory followed by Militarum green contrast.
This looked ok, but just didn’t grab me.
As such, I decided to try an ‘urban camo’ scheme on another test model. A blue grey, followed by horizontal stripes and forks in black then ivory. Initially it too seemed a bit dark, but I rolled out the camo onto the helm, added a very non camo spot colour to a shoulder pad, and picked out some of the webbing in a tan colour. Reasonably happy with how it came out – but it is a lot more work than drybrush and contrast ?
And the food shack, for GCPS lunch break!
