Phreedh's Spacelords (5/10: New models on pg2)
« on: May 18, 2014, 10:13:54 PM »
Well, hiya Future Wars board! :P First post of minis here, as I haven't painted anything sci-fi in aaages. Well, cheetor got me all riled up with his Pulp Alley exploits and the Rogue Trader bug is all over the interwebs nowadays it seems... so I ended up painting a space-man. More to come, I'm quite smitten by it. I hope to get some stuff painted up for me as well, to give the project some impetus (and quality).

No more rambling though - here's Paulie Papers, small time space-crook. Also known as C3706c - Civilian Carrying Documents from Metal Magic's old Spacelords range.


You can read words and stuff on my blog:

I'm all excited by this. I might even paint up my first ever Space Marine! :D

Thats a great start :)  Very few sci-projects star with an unarmed character I expect.  That bodes well in my opinion.

I have had half an idea to paint that miniature as ex-Wally squad Judge Lenny Zero for a few years, but havent got around to it yet.

Thanks chaps! :)

Well, thin sheets of matter to display things on, at least. It could just be a handfull of nano-sheets with a fresh datadump from his wrist terminal. ;) Probably still called papers even if they're nothing like what we call paper.

Very few sci-projects star with an unarmed character I expect.  That bodes well in my opinion.
Yeah, it's odd and I find it a bit amusing to be honest. The next three aren't armed either. Or well, their weaponry is holstered at least. Hope to get them posted in a few days. Have a little left on one of the three, then it's basing and photography time.

Not familiar with Lenny, but there's a definitive 2000AD feel to old Papers. Go for it, man!

The wonders never cease - I've finished three more guys for my scifi game! Three more old Metal Magic Spacelords, to boot!

This is commander Skroob. He's the Imperial Commander and guy in charge of the colony on McKemmler IV. The job isn't exactly exhausing, what with the McKemmler system being in the ass-end of the ass-end of the galaxy. Thus Skroob also doubles as the local chief of police in New Haigts. Here he is, surrounded by ASOLEs - Automated Sentient Officers of Law Enforcement.


A few more pics and waffling on the blog:

White primer.
GW foundation Astronomicon Gray basecoat on fatigues
GW bronzed flesh basecoat on flesh (elf flesh on the ASOLEs, it seemed fitting).
Vallejo black basecoat on the black. =)
Boots and leather details (and hair) on Skroob basecoated w GW beastial brown
Highlighted the blacks w black + a little vallejo white (bone white or whatever it's called... it's skull white)
Lightly overbrushed metals w Vallejo gun metal.
Washed elf flesh with GW sepia wash
Washed bronzed flesh, hair and leather w ogryn flesh on Skroob.
Washed fatigues, metals and blacks with GW badab black.
Then highlighted everything with their base coat colour thinned a bit.
Highlighted again with basecoat colour + white.
Finally, I painted the black armour and boots with liquitex gloss varnish.

Then it's job done. =) I faffed about a bit more with skroob's hair washing it with devlan mud after highlighting it (a bit lighter). Also worth noting I didnt' shade the cape of Skroob's with a wash as I was going for more white than grey.

Never did. These will be used for Pulp Alley, hopefully.
