I’ve finished my Gruntz army (post coming soon) and I am painting some “character” figures, still in 15mm Sci-Fi, in anticipation of my Traveller 5 rulebook arriving from the Kickstarter. \u00a0I ordered a bunch of civilians, aliens, robots, etc from both GZG and Khurasan.<\/p>\n

One set from Khurasan is their “<\/span>15mm Female Auxiliaries in Light Armour with energy weapons (x5)” (<\/span>TTC-3008).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"unpainted\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here they are cleaned up, before painting. \u00a0There was minimal flash, and just some very minor mold lines to take care of. \u00a0They cleaned up very quickly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Khurasan<\/a><\/p>\n

And here they are done. \u00a0They went pretty quickly, since the body-suits are a solid color. \u00a0I spent more time on the hair than anything else. \u00a0The painting & wash was done in an evening.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Khurasan<\/a><\/p>\n

I did want to do something different for the bases. \u00a0Up until now I’ve just done the standard “ground with sand” and maybe some grass. \u00a0I did my best to avoid the “pitcher’s mound” and make the base level, but it’s tough without removing the figure’s built in base.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Khurasan<\/a><\/p>\n

So, I went with a kind of polished concrete look, with some industrial stuff on it. \u00a0I made it shiny with Citadel’s ‘Ardcoat.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty happy with how they came out. \u00a0I used spackling for the base, as I’ve been doing with my Gruntz army. \u00a0I think next time I’ll try Green Stuff. \u00a0I just got some to make sandbag terrain with, and I’m eager to try it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
