2025 Painting Log
A brief but inevitable return to Shatterpoint
I put off getting the Good Soldiers Follow Orders squad pack because I wasn’t particularly interested in the characters, and let’s be honest, they weren’t going to be very interesting to paint. But I did end up needing them for a particular match-up I wanted to play, so I decided to make the painting a little more interesting by using three different techniques.
Elite Squad Troopers
ES-04 "Firebrand"
CT-9904 Elite Squad LeaderThe Elite Squad Troopers were done in Speedpaints over light grey primer. ES-04 “Firebrand” was done mostly by drybrushing over black primer, with a gun metal base coat followed by a Dark Tone Wash for the weapon. For the Squad Leader (aka Crosshair) I tried to stick to the Dallimore triad approach, with areas of flat color working up from dark to light.
I’ve got three more Shatterpoint boxes on the pile of opportunity, along with a ton of the other stuff. I’m currently working on some MEP Miniatures stuff, but I’m having trouble deciding what to do after that — I need to finish up Ragnarök, but Guards of Traitor’s Toll is beckoning…
