I'll be working on this stuff forever...
18 Sep 23: Shasvastii batch 3, Terrain and a little Pal
On again!
For the next mission, I need to prep 3 pieces of terrain and 3 enemies. I took the opportunity to finish another enemy and a little Palbot for the heroes.
20 Sep 23: "Deploying"
These were primed with a grey, then drybrushed with Vallejo Buff followed by a light drybrush of Vallejo Ivory.
They received a coat of Citadel Contrast Black Templar. This was diluted with Citadel Lahmian Medium. Approx 1 part paint to 2 parts medium. The base areas and the vents along the length of the gun received a second coat.
The white bands are Vallejo Ivory. Two thin coats were required for a nice solid colour.
Citadel Contrast Blood Angels Red for the lenses on the front.
A touch of Citadel Contrast Luxion Purple for heat discolouration on the ends of the barrels.
I then used some thinned AP Black to label the three differently.
Gaspar is prepared the same as the turrets.
The Citadel Contrast Black Templar is applied to “mechy” bits: toes, upper arms, knees etc.
After I’d done that, I was actually really happy with it. I’d wanted an off-white and orange scheme to go with Rahman.
I used Citadel Contrast Magmadroth Orange to add the spot colour, around the knees, back of the “med-applicator” arm. I also free-handed the vertical stripes on the “visor”.
The eyes are Citadel Contrast Akhelian Green to Contrast with the orange.
There’s a couple of cylinders in the back of his left arm that I decided are “med-fluid” so I painted them with Citadel Contrast Blood Angels Red.
I’ve got to go back and do the highlights for this one. But the base is done.
