Stargrave - The Talons of Solubris
Sniper Yollh Evanth
Used the Y pattern camouflage idea I saw on The Painting Phase (Thank you Peachie). The new (July 2023) North Star Scavenger box has these hooded versions of the Solubrian head and a scoped carbine, so making a Solubrian sniper was doable.
I repeated a basic forked squiggle "Y" shape in yellow over the grey primer. Then repeated over or adjacent to them a black Y as well. Then filled some gaps in between with random white dots. Then I covered the whole coat in Athonian Camoshade that gives it a lovely off green tint.
The debris on the base was the seal from a drinks bottle that cut up into interesting textured sci-fi battlefield shrapnel.
I made a muzzle flash from a piece of clothes tag. It wasn't staying on very well so added some more super glue and it only helped add to the flash shape.
I know that bright yellow cuffs ruin the camo scheme, but to keep him in keeping with the rest of his crewmen I kept the cuffs, black webbing and snipers require a hand weapon so an axe from the latest Scavenger box fitted the bill. (Solubrian pun intended.)
