After finally getting my stuff from CGL it took me a while to decide on a colour scheme. After all, it’s just grey plastic.

Regardless of what colours will go one, priming is needed.

So I choose House Ricol, an influential noble house from the Draconis Combine. Why? Drop dead easy colour scheme and I had chosen the Ricol coin as a backer reward. Maybe I had that colour scheme in mind all along? I don’t know, I can’t remember. It’s so long ago.

Painting itself was very straight forward:

Blood Red on the top
Grim Black on the lower half
Matt White on the cockpits
Orc Skin on the cockpits
fixing errors, missed spots
Matt Black on the bases (not shown)

And that’s how it looks

And now: poster shots!

All painting was done so I went outside and gave them a varnish with Satin Varnish for protection and then some Matt Varnish to tone it down.

Last steps: Gloss Varnish for the cockpits and some white “here is the front” paint for the Savannah Masters. Because I didn’t pay attention when glueing them into place. DOH.

Enjoy the final result!
