Hello. One of my December goals was to get my Concord guys assembled, which I was able to do, and you can read about that in
part-1. Due to the wonky weather, and no good ventilated areas in our humble little abode, I had to wait for the right opportunity to prime these miniatures. I decided to prime them with Testor's Red Brown spray paint.

I had been pondering a paint scheme for these guys for ages now and since these guys kind of remind me of the Spartans from Halo, I was going to paint them based off of my old Halo 3 multiplayer character. But after seeing how nice The
Bob's C3 Strike Team paint jobs turned out I was swinging back to just following the standard paint scheme that Warlord tends to go with. We played our
First Antares game recently and I got to see his models in person. I have ultimately caved-in and decided to proceed with that scheme. Well, sort of...
What follows will be my step-by-step, stage-by-stage process for painting these guys. Since I am making this up as I go I have found it prudent to record these steps for (my) future reference.
 |
| British Uniform painted on. |
The 'green' areas were painted using Model Color English Uniform.
 |
| Country Tan |
Apple Barrel Color Country Tan was painted on the 'white' areas.
 |
| Desert Sand |
Americana Desert Sand was dry brushed over the Country Tan.
 |
| Black spots. |
Black was used to pick out the joints and a few other areas.
 |
| White highlights. |
White highlights were applied over the Desert Sand. This essentially could have finished these areas as this fits the Warlord color scheme rather well. But I have something else in mind...
 |
| Agrax Earthshade and Bloodletter. |
I washed Agrax Earthshade over the white areas. This really picks out the details and kind of 'dirties' up the whole model. I worked on the base next. Painted Apple Barrel Indian Red over the brown base coat. I followed that up with a wash of Bloodletter Ink over this. I like how that turns out, as it reminds me of some of the Adeptus Mechanicus bases I have seen people do.
Sadly, something has come up in the real world and I have to stop here. What I plan to do next is to ink and highlight the 'green' area, paint the faces on the helmets and paint the guns. I have been thinking about making their guns a color similar to Zorn's guns from the 5th Element. Something about the plasma rifles design gestalt in the Antares game reminds me of that.

Something to ponder until I can work on them again.
