For quite some time I wasn’t sure how to paint the Droidekas.  I tried out a few different colours on the sprayed base rims, trying to come up with a bronze that looked good – without going for a brush on metallic that I wouldn’t get a smooth finish on.

Ended up going with Gryph Hound orange over the leadbelcher prime.

There was still something not grabbing me. So, while working on the bases a bit I decided to try a gloss coat over the carapace, hoping it would make them look more mechanical (or like a car with its coat of lacquer) – and I feel it worked.

With that positive change achieved it was then:

Bases washed, drybrushed and tufts added.

Pipes picked out in black.

Metal washed, gun tips given a thin blue wash.

Eyes picked out in red.
