I finished painting my Ghar form the starter set of Beyond the Gates of Antares. It was tough to make up my mind on a color scheme for them, as I've seen so many good choices on the Antares Facebook group, I was tempted to copy many.
But here I think I ended up with a scheme that is very suited for these pitiful little fellas - very dark, sinister and menacing!
I did some pink on the weapons of Assault walkers, so they are easily distinguishable from the Battle Walkers on the table from a few feet away, while still keeping an overall light green lighting that will be my trademark for this faction.
Now, I was very happy to find this guy in the lot, as I purchased my starter set from an online retailer a couple weeks after release, so I wasn't expecting to receive this model, which was a pre-order only bonus. I guess the store managed to grab some pre-order sets after all, and I can't complain!
Along with the starter set, I ordered some additional units to bulk up my Algoryn, and now I have one of each unit released to date.
The Infiltrators: Watch out, here come the pret- err... the ladies!
The plasma support: I don't like how the energy lighting on the weapon came out. I'll be redoing it over the next days. I just can't get to do this white wash right! I added a third crewman to the unit with a spare model I had lying around from a mispack.
And finally, the targeter probes, pretty cool models, as well:
Next up, I'll be doing the Concord troopers from the starter set.
Love the paint, the light effects came out great. I'm currently exploring the figs and rule system, so thanks for sharing these. Very inspiring.
