Dropzone Commander - shaltari done and dusted!

Way back at Derby at the end of May I picked up a dropzone army, and it's been sitting in a box ever since,

Until quite recently..


I decided to go for a more challenging scheme and using what I learnt from the hawker fleet, I went with white as the main colour and green as the secondary colour,


So the whole lot done in one fell swoop!









just a simple base and these guys are finished,


So for those people interested in the paint guide,

main body

Spray White
medium army painter wash
dry brush ivory
edge/highlight off white

Glass canopies

Black
Black and green mix
gloss varnish

green pads

green wash, biel tan green twice over the white, and touch up any overspill with the off white

Gold bits,
dark gold
highlight with a lighter gold
army paint soft wash near the edge

I've only played one game with these guys so far taking Kris through the system, so hopefully I'll be able to get some more games in and try and suss out what I'll be looking to get next to add onto the army and increase the game size.

  1. Nice work they look very effective in white and green. Suitably alien looking as well.
