Narcissus' Sedition Wars Models

I think this make five somewhat active project logs I have on here... Nevertheless, I am painting some new models.

Here is a Sedition Wars model I am going to paint. The model is a Firebrand Male Drone. I bought this model primarily to try out a tutorial posted by Ali McVey on the Studio McVey Forums.


The model based and assembled. Notice, no greenstuff or conversions!


Model had no base in the blister ( ) so I built my own on a 25mm GW base using the tutorial from From the warp.

I'm planning to get this painted up pretty quickly. I am torn between painting the model exactly as on the box and in the tutorial and painting it with camo jumpsuit. I don't really ever want a force all wearing orange overalls... Thoughts?

ORANGE overalls would be great

I've thought about orange overalls a couple of times - but blue-grey is what I seem to end up with. The camo may look a bit out on renegade/civilian models.

Regardless of final colour scheme it will work out just fine.

It is not unconceivable that they might change their clothes when they join the rebellion.

"Hi, welcome to the rebellion. Here are your new combat fatigues. Sorry about the weapons, but your mining gear is permanently attached."

I am not sure what colour to do. I like how the orange looks, but don't really want to do a whole group in that colour. And I want to personalize my squad. I have never really been one to paint standard colour schemes.

I have browsed throught the tutorial topic at the McVey forum. Very curious to what your approach will be Narcissus! Knowing your work I think it'll be great!

I've gotten started on the drone model. I've been reading Game of Thrones and cycling a lot, both of which have decreased my hobby productivity. I've been working through the skin recipe a bit from the link I posted above. It hasn't gone great so far. I've just done the shadows, but I think they are too harsh and not blended well enough. I'm considering redoing some sections of the skin.


I haven't added any highlights to the skin yet. Just shadows.


I painted camo overalls. I think they will look good on the final model and I wanted to try the technique.




Some of the shading looks better in this picture.
