Shatter point rules
B1 droids
Clone troopers and RexRecently picked up the shatter point core set, the first chaps on the painting table were the squads of b1 droids which were a complete pain to stick together. For big models they are made up of many tiny annoying bits
The main colour on these is gw contrast skeleton hord with some thinner added and a coat of matt varnish to get rid of the contrast shine.
I was gonna paint maul next but the light sabres look very fragile so I’m looking into ways of replacing them with brass rod before I paint them.
So I stuck together a unit of clones I always find white daunting to paint and usually end up with a very chalky look so I watch loads of tutorials on you tube and kind of amalgamated bits of each video and came up with these chaps.
They were base coated dark grey then drybrushed white to show up the detail.
Then I layered a mix of off white a tiny bit of black and dark brown in the shadows.
Once that dried I added some deck tan by valkejo to the mix and kind of watered it down so the darker bits would show through and covered the armour plates.
Again I let this dry then painted neat deck tan on the high areas.
To Finnish the white I made a mix of bleached bone and white and added this in layers each time adding more white till i got the colour I was aiming for.
The black bits were then sploshed in with black speed paint.
