Yesterday, I started on the Human team that comes with Dreadball. \u00a0Today, I painted the 2 guards. They were a test for my color scheme, and I’m happy with it. \u00a0The light blue didn’t come out very strong, but I’m good with that.<\/p>\n

The assembled models. \u00a0From left to right: \u00a0a striker (there are 4), jack (there are 4), and guard (there are 2).<\/p>\n

I primed all the models, and washed them. \u00a0This is so I can play the game with them, even before they are painted.<\/p>\n

Today, I painted the 2 guards. I had half a plan when I started, and it evolved as I went. \u00a0That’s pretty much how I paint most things.<\/p>\n

This is a guard basecoated and ready for a wash.<\/p>\n

I washed it very heavily in black. \u00a0When it was dry I highlighted and drybrushed it.<\/p>\n

Next, I need to apply the number decal, then spray on a few coats of Dullcote varnish. \u00a0The Dullcote puts the finishing touch on it, plus it protects the paint. \u00a0I just love how minis look after a coat of Dullcote. It’s hard to describe, but they just look “finished”. \u00a0After that, I’ll put just a dab of Citadel’s ‘Ardcoat on the eyes to make them shiny.<\/p>\n

Then it’s 2 down, 8 to go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
