Operation Blackwind

I glued the MDF base toppers down to the bases. These came from Corvus Belli, and were going to be for my 0-12, but then I used a 55mm one as a test piece, but only had one left, and needed two, so I bought those super cool acrylic ones for the 0-12. These were just sitting in a drawer, and so why no use them for the Operation Blackwind. Now It was actually my intention to do a kind of desert base for the Hassassin side, but I glued toppers too all the bases, so a uniform basing will make sense for any demos I do with this.

After a week of constantly knocking over the corks, today I went through and remounted all the models onto plastic shot glasses. with the flared end, they’re much more stable.

I decided to prime the bases White, just to minimise the impact on colour choices for me later on. I’m not sure what colours to use on them, a generic red and blue, to show the different sides maybe, of complimentary colours for each faction? A decision to make after i finish the models I think

Okay, so I’m done? Except adding a wash.

Okay, so now they’re Grimey. Let’s take most of it back off again.

All I needed was to get them off the painting bases, and put them on the real bases.

The ALEPH are done, but what about the Haqq stuff?
It’s the painting weekend, and with the compressor not having a tank, the Samurai army will remain as it is.

Okay, so I left these guys in a series of brownish yellows, so lets add some more colours;
A light grey colour for guns, then I added some dark flesh tone to my usual Cork brown skin colour, and then hey is they aren’t wearing a helmet, they probably have hair, best do that too.
