Hi guys. Back again with my color scheme for my mantic corporation slash IG allies force. Bear in mind I'm just going for tabletop here. This is the third model, tried stuff out on two others and put it together on this guy.


This guy is pretty rough, I'm just going for tabletop here so I think I can live with it, though I'm hoping to do a little better with each squad as I get everything down. Note the base is just blocked in with base colors, I've done plenty like this for my marines so I wasn't concerned with highlights and flock just for a proof of concept.




A couple of things: I'm going to fix that stupid eye, I'll probably just go back to my micron pen. Though I would try to paint it this time but my hands shake too much I guess. I swear the red is a bit more shaded IRL, not a lot, but its there. Camera seems to have stolen a little bit of it. The metal on the gun was added last minute, it should look better when its there to get black washed with the rest of the model. May or may not discard the shoddy osl attempt on the laser rifle. I'm not sure I can get a good look without spending more time in that little spot than I want to per model. I've noticed a couple of spots that need touching up just from posting these pictures, I'll address that once the squad is finished. Oh, the green on the shoulders, that will probably be a squad color patch. So green squad, blue squad, etc.

So, obviously he's no beauty queen, but war is ugly right? Anything you fine folks see that you think I could do better? I could go in and do some hard edge highlights for the 'black' and the red, but I was trying to go with something a little softer than my marines this time around.

Thanks for looking
