clifford Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 It's been a while since I've posted on this forum, but in the cyclic nature of these things my gaming group is getting back into some good fleet action fun and I'm getting some lovely chunks of resin painted. First up is a cruiser for my communist space lizards: WestAustralian and fracas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimat Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Striking color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Why, thank you. Prior to this I'd been painting some 15mm historicals in various shades of muddy brown, so this was pretty much an excuse to break out the bright & gaudy. Fluff wise many lizards use bright colours as part of threat displays, so I can always argue these guys do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestAustralian Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Very Nice! but I am going to need more than one photo. Awesome painting like that needs lots of pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thanks for the kind words, folks. Well, the rest of the squadron is done: Next up is the frigates. azrael, jcee, Skyhawk and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcee Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Looks good, what color is that green/blue, looks almost verdigris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 It's p3 "arcane blue". It's closer to turquoise. The combination of full sun and a phone camera have added a slight sheen to the colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyhawk Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 It reminds me of a armour shader in Destiny called glowhoo. Other than the fact I need my sunglasses they look good. More pictures are required however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bessemer Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Great stuff! I take it you used grey and white highlight for the "metal" rather than silver? Never tried that, myself. May have to have a go at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Yes, I did. I'm not sure I've got the "metal" right here. I suppose I could always argue they're manufactured from advanced polymers & ceramics rather than metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestAustralian Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Fantastic finish Clifford well done. I really like the Ceramic look. I may have to steal it for mine. Excellent Brushwork. Keep painting up a storm clifford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Well, I've painted the Sorylian patrol fleet, so I've moved on to something for the bad guys: WestAustralian, fracas, Botticelli and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestAustralian Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Excellent work on the Directorate Good Guys. I did not spot any bad guys though... you have done a fantastic job with the details and cleanliness on all your ships. I look forward to some photos of the Directorate and Sorylian together. clifford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessemer Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Awesome stuff! Purple is the way to go with Directorate! clifford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford Posted August 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 The directorate ships seem to paint up really quickly & after struggling to transport the Sorylians I've started using "widgets" to make the stands removable. Some Directorate frigates: And some drones, too: Skyhawk, WestAustralian, Bessemer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestAustralian Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Nice speedy work on your small ships. They have come up awesome. I look forward to seeing the Force all together. And some Sorlyian with Directorate shots too please. Keep up the awesome painting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford Posted August 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Thanks for the complements folks. Two more directorate ships done. Those are rather big guns. Our club's regular Terran player has agreed to give me a game. He's never played against directorate but he is very fond of his shields & shield cruisers. He might be in for a surprise. @WestAustralian pics of the two fleets together are coming - I just want to get a few directorate done first.
