I knew that I wanted to keep with the original colour scheme from the White Dwarf page, so that meant I didn’t have the delay of debating colour schemes internally.

Out with the white spray paint!

Ninjas! - painting them

The white spray (TT Combat) went on a little thin, so I had to touch up with brush on.

Then it was onto the Soulblight Grey shade and some drybrushing and highlighting to get the look I desired.

On the original ninja the picture showed the arms as bare flesh. However, when I tried this they looked rather odd and lumpen

I decided that it must have meant to have been clothed arms (the rest of the range had clothed arms), so I went back over the arm areas with a matching white for the cloth – and I feel that came out much better.

Then it was back to the new version, adding some more colour and flesh there too. I have used a light tan colour for his undershirt – but it doesn’t show up so well in the picture here.

Ninjas! - painting them

Then just a few finishing touches, and the two ninjas – created many years apart – were done 😊

I went with classic basing for the old ninja, and for the new one I based it to match some other ‘modern survivor’ type minis I designed at the same time.
