Progress update.
I hadn’t really realised how much black, grey and silver features in the costumes of Star Trek Aliens. Everything is so bright in Star Trek that I guess I hadn’t really twigged until I started painting these. I’m keen to do things with details and basing to give them some more interest and variation.
Work on more teams
Over a primer of GW Grey Seer spray, here I’ve started blocking in some basic colours using GW Contrast paints. Colours used so far are basic – Black Templar for trousers/coat. Guilliman Flesh and Medium for Romulan skin. Cygor Brown and Guilliman Flesh and Medium for Klingon skin.
The complete box
So this is now the completed starter box of Star Trek: Away Missions. I do like the window in the box now the miniatures are all painted.
This picture also shows the additional Klingon (red) and Romulan (green) dice packs I picked up.
Locutus of Borg
These are the team I’ve enjoyed painting the most. Almost entirely contrast blacks, greys and working up flesh tones/red glazes on the skin. They have a real sense of menace to them despite the cartoony sculpts.
The bases were painted black and then given a few really thin washes of green and yellow to settle as a glow effect. Worked quite well.
New pictures of Riker’s Away Team
I’ve got some new black background pictures of Riker’s Away Team taken. Enjoy!
A look at the Borg
I haven’t got to taking decent pictures of these yet, but as a teaser – here’s a view of the Borg…
