Title: My other Plog: 28mm aliens and space troopers for Mars Code Aurora
Post by: Cordial on August 30, 2020, 05:42:51 PM
Hi!

Some of you might have heard of Mars Code Aurora, a recent french rule set for 28mm sci-fi skirmish. Miniature agnostic and suited for all kind of minis (I will surely use my 15mm guys for it and reduce the measures  lol ).
Currently painting some 28mm minis for it. Simply what I feel like working on at the moment.
First of many, Rancor, a space cop (mini from the Rogue Star range):

Going on slowly but I did a police drone. Very simple scheme. Miniature is a plastic Concord drone from Beyond the Gates of Antares.

Nice work mate,
Thanks for sharing.
I got several of those plastic drones when they had a sale
to use for 15/18mm

Keep it up

With Stargrave around the corner (and it's inevitable menagerie of random encounters) I am on a synthetic creep painting spree  lol

Indeed. I also like the reddish tone of the bases  :-* 8) :-*

Nicely done.

Thanks!
Red bases are easy peasy! Mournfang brown over the sand base followed by a coat of primer red dry pigment from MIG, followed by another coat of light rust dry pigment (also from MIG). Seal the whole thing with Essence F and make a quick drybrush of Jokaero orange!
As for the weathering, it's little more than sponge  dabbing  lol

Great thread!  Love all the lovely paint-jobs on such a diverse collection of minis.  I have rarely played SciFi games, but do occasionally grab and paint a figure.  Stargrave sounds promising - a good chance to use 'em.  Thanks for the inspiration!

So good - really enjoy seeing your minis pop up in instagram too. Your photos are excellent.

The undead crew are excellent - surely a space necromancer to go with them next??

The captain was initialy going to be a Doom Cacodemon (Evil Eye from Crooked Dice). I might finish it up tomorrow ;)
