Painting Slugga Boyz, Day Five

Seeing as I had the day off, this day was productive. I basecoated the skin on all the slugga boyz with Orkhide Shade, and painted the surfaces of the bases Scorched Brown. After doing this for 20 models, the last thing I wanted to do was paint another single color 20 times, so I finished one of the models. 1 Slugga Boy down, 19 to go.

Primed all the boyz black. Next comes some actual painting...

Painting Slugga Boyz, Day Three

Finished assembling all of the boyz and glued sand to all their bases. Left off the big shootas so I can paint them separately.

Stormtroopers in Multicam

As part of my continuing experiments in Imperial Guard camouflage schemes, I recently tried out a new scheme on one of my Stormtroopers.



Old Stormtrooper on the left, new "Multicam" version on the right.
The camouflage pattern is based on Crye Precision's "Multicam" pattern:

The pattern is basically made up of six colors: The first layer is Gretchin Green blending into Knarloc Green. Superimposed over that is a layer of Kommando Khaki blending into Khemri Brown. Finally the pattern is dotted with small marks of Charadon Granite and Bleached Bone.

I painted the body armor Kommando Khaki to provide some contrast to camouflage itself. All in all I'm rather pleased with the results. If I end up getting more Stormtroopers down the line, I may try out a squad with the body armor painted in the camouflage scheme as well.
