Having recently purchased Two hour Waragmaes\ Rebel Minis "5150 Company Commander - Total War" I found myself in need of a second 15mm army.
I recently reached "sufficient numbers" I think with my Alternative armies 15m Ion Age Retained Knights force. (My hobby space and available time have stopped me photographing many finished over the last year - I may catch up at some point!). The game requires at least 3 squads of 6 to get started. I decided in the end to buy a set of 15mm "Hard Sci-fi" Grand Tactics - Jaegers sculpts for 3D printing (by Grand Fleet Admiral). The problem I have with hard Sci-fi schemes is that the "realistic" schemes look drab and indistinct, so it took me a few attempts to get something quick that I liked. So I'm making a note of it here as usual for my future reference!
- Prime Grey with white zenithal highlight
- Contrast Nazdreg Yellow all over
- Contrast Snakebite Leather for armoured areas (note different coloured helmets for squad leaders. etc)
- Contrast Aggros Dunes for backpack
- Basilcanum Grey for guns
- Light Dry brush Skeleton Bone
- Go over armoured areas again with Sepia Shade
- Metallic Blue for Helmet visors
Once the force is finished I'll do a full shot.
