With these 2 models done, that’s my Rebs strike force fully painted :), until the second survey gets sent out that is 😉
There was only a couple of extra bits to add to these and I’ll go into a bit of detail as to how they were done:
Black Human Flesh: Basecoat of Doombull Brown followed by a light wash of Agrax Earthshade
Coat of 2:1 Doombull Brown and Ushabti Bone leaving the recesses the base colour
Highlight of 1:1 Doombull Brown and Ushabti Bone
Fine Highlight of 1:2 Doombull Brown and Ushabti Bone
Judwan Flesh: 2:1 mix of Mechanicus Standard Grey and Rakkarth Flesh followed by a light wash of Seraphim Sepia
Coat of 3:2 Mechanicus Standard Grey and Rakkarth Flesh leaving the recesses the base colour
Highlight of 2:1 Codex Grey and Rakkarth Flesh
Fine Highlight of 1:1 Fortress Grey and Rakkarth Flesh
Blue Sections (Supposed to represent the Energy Shields): Wash of 3:1 water and Lothern Blue about 1-2mm out from and over the ‘source’
Coat of Lothern Blue over the ‘source’
Coat of 2:1 Lothern Blue and Ceramite White leaving the edges the original colur
Final coat of 1:1 Lothern Blue and Ceramite White in the centre of the ‘source’
Scope lens and scanner screen: Basecoat of Caliban Green
Highlight of Snot green but keeping to the bottom and right
Fine Highlight of Moot Green again to the bottom and right
Final dot of 1:1 Moot Green and Ceramite White on the bottom right corner
In addition I also made up some extra cards for the ones I missed with the last batch…
As you may have noticed I also changed the colour of the text, after receiving some feedback, to a creamy colour so it should be easier to read.
As I’ve said that’s the Rebs done until the next survey is sent out at which point I’ll be getting 2 Striders, 3 Swordspawn as well as Eddak P’mera to bolster their numbers 😀
I had an idea a while back for some personalised stat cards to go along side the Rebs, primarily because I love fiddling about on photoshop and having wee extras like this for my forces (hence all the logos and pitches for my DB teams :)). I then thought I would take it a step further and make some additions that would help out when playing in a campaign, such as space to add abilities, keep track of stat increases, exp, vet dice etc. and came up with these…
I also quickly realised this allowed me to have duplicates making it easier to keep track of the individual figures progress and in-game whatever items they may be lugging about. I have so far left the stat boxes, points etc. blank as the idea is to have them in card slips and be able to mark these in and change them as they progress, although I am thinking of having the original stats in place just faded a bit as a reminder of how far they can go up or if they die and are effectively reset. The only other thing I was considering was an item box to show what they are carrying or the room they have left. Although I think I may be restricted in space a fair bit, especially when it comes to the Zees who would need 3!
Anyway I would love to hear peoples thoughts on these and if there are any changes or additions you would make? It may also be on the cards (hehehe ;)) that I make up a generic one for general use if people thought it would be useful?
I had one set of terrain left over still to build and decided I would do something a little bit different with it. The idea was to have a couple of structures that had a clear use before the containment protocol was put into effect.
The first I decided was going to be a small cafe like place…
I’m going to add one of the Antenocitis extractr fans to the roof as well as a couple of the vending machines in the wee alcove on the right to further add to it. I used plasticard to create the counter as well as a flat area to create a sign.
The second building is going to be something of a small bar…
This is going to have one of the larger extractors on top and the idea is to give it a bit a of a rebel theme, but have it looking burned out and abandoned, as though the local law enforcement didn’t look too kindly on the revolutionist ideals of the clientele. I’m also going to add to this by boarding up the windows and doors, this should add to the story of the building but also lets me have some LOS blocking terrain.
I’m still deciding whether these shold be the same colour as the rest of the terrain or something more in line with the character I’m trying to portray, would love to hear what you think?
I decided to get some Antenocitis Workshop products to continue in my efforts to add a bit more character to the Deadzone Board, and it’s looking really good…
I added a couple of the supports from the Deadzone terrain sprues to the backs of the billboards so they would be freestanding, this means I’ll be able to shift them about between games 🙂
These are primarily to add a bit more to some of the buildings and for a couple of more scenic buildings I have in mind
As I had already added some pasted on posters I wanted to add some more ‘official’ advertising areas
These are going to be used to add a bit more cover
And finally some vending machines, a couple for the extra buildings I mentioned earlier, and the others just to scatter about 🙂
Overall I’m really impressed with the quality of this stuff. It only really needs some minor filing and a quick wash and it’s ready to go. Will definately be keeping my eye on Antenocitis Workshop 🙂
