The campaign is now into the last week and I have painted four more models:
Black Talon PrimeThis started out as a Dreadball model (Alo-Khan), which I converted with the extra metal parts from the Ten'Ur Go/Black Talon Prime blisterpack. So I cut off the hands and replaced them with the metal pistol and Light Blade and replace the head with the metal one. Finally, I added a backpack from the plastic Marionettes box to simulate a Jump Pack.
I also wanted him to be more special...so I painted him with colour shifting blue. So also in iridiscent paint, but in blue. But then I had to do the blade in a different colour too. All in all I think it really works and I'm very happy with him.
CypherAnd another conversion. This time it's a Cypher Warden (the robots with the KAMEHAMEHAAAAA hands). I cut off the right hand and replaced it for a Noh Rifle, giving me a unique Cypher. Cool pose and fits in well with the rest.
Kalyshi DervishOne of the excellent Kalyshi models. These are resin models and are very well done. Great sculpt and the cast was perfect. Love the dynamic pose. I put some extra effort in this model as she's so cool in the game and I'm very happy with her.
BlaineMantic's own mascotte who features in most of their games and such a great model. This is a Dreadball version. Nice pose, not too much annoying details and he was great to paint. In the end he took only 2.5 hours from start to finish. Probably because of the colours used. But I'm happy with the result and I think he's a real badass
.
Total Strike ForceAnd the final Strike Force of all models together. I had a blast painting them and playing in the campaign was great. So far this is one of my favorite games I have ever played: it's fast, it's well designed, has tons of epic moments (also due to the exploding d8s), the models are great and it won't take long to play fully painted.
For now I'm finished with the Asterians (yes, yes...I have tons more...) and it's time to move on to the Plague!
