'Synthwave' Escher (Necromunda)
« on: June 12, 2019, 08:43:04 PM »
Finished up a gang ready for a campaign starting this week. I'd not done anything Games Workshop for over 10 years. Impressed with the development and progression of their plastic kits, but ended up getting frustrated during the painting process due to the seemingly endless tide of small details. Calling these done, though I know there is more I could do and improve.

Anyhow, I knew I wanted to follow 2 basic ideas. Pale skin, and paint choices influenced by 'synthwave' (80s inspired music genre/general aesthetic). Here's the pictures (and a general picture to convey the synthwave idea):

Looking good! I think you got the synthwave mark dead on.

This is surprisingly good color choice for them :)

Thanks folks. Was quite pleased with how the main colours worked. Had been painting Weird WWII stuff for months prior to this, so it was like a colour explosion in comparison! Managed to play a demo game vs Genestealer Cultists, so here's a few pictures to show how the scheme looks on the table:

Just chanced across this thread, I like your take on the Escher. I've been hitting synthwave really hard lately so this is great :)
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.
