Title: Future Law Enforcement and a couple of military types.
Post by: Legionnaire on May 09, 2016, 05:37:21 PM

Repainted a couple of minis for my forays into THW's 5150 New Beginnings. Decided to try a different colour scheme than the usual black or blue police uniform, I think they turned out very nicely. About 25 minutes block painting each, Armypainter Strong Quickshade and touching up the white bits. Copplestone Castings miniatures.

Base coated in grey with GW's Mechanicus Standard Grey for the black bits, washed with Nuln Oil and then Armypainter Strong Quickshade, probably not more than 10 minutes per figure. These could be mercenaries, private security forces or maybe even special forces/ SWAT team. I have three more to do and the minis are very reasonably priced EM-4's.

Echoing the others, the colour scheme really works. Great!

Nice work :)

I first read Zippo's  lol! Rationale is that I'm trying something different from the usual black/ gunmetal, in this case pearl white laser guns, the orange bit is with a stun unit, but won't work on aliens (due to very different genetic make up) or armoured opponents, but great for crowd control. The white 'daystick' is a highly sophisticated implement of bashing  lol.

Three more military types for use in my THW's 5150 New Beginnings solo campaign.
