These tau stealth suits I got from a miniature trading event at the Game Keep. They were printed using a transparent resin, perfect for these guys. However, leaving them unpainted is not something I can do...
So I used a number of ink-like techniques to make one unit in blue and one in green and painted the based to match the color.
The result is unique among the minis I painted. I have no use for them so they will likely end up on Ebay.
A regiment of female soldiers with Cadian-adjacent colors. I painted these girls for SpaceFOE or One-Page Rules (I don't have enough characters for another Imperial Guard 40k Army).
All of them are 3d-printed models.
These are hormagaunts, the melee troops of the tyranids.
For SpaceFOE, they are called gnashers part of the Ticks. The ticks are creatures who are insect-like and spread out into the cosmos. They fight by swarming targets mindlessly. I have some Small (CR 1/8), Large (CR 1), and Huge (CR 2) versions.
A classic Tyranid Hive Tyrant to lead an army.
In SpaceFOE, the Tick Queens are the generals who lead their brethren into battle. They evolved from the greatest of the Tick warriors. This thing is massive and it lords over all other creatures of the range. The third photo shows how the Queen lords over the huge gnashers
This Praetorian soldier belong to the Black Cohort. I hate painting large sections of black and used a little highlights not to hide the shiny black color.
This Commissar is ready to take command of an army of Local Defense Force (LDF). She could also be used as a boss for the Red Gang.
These two girls were initially destined to become Necromunda Escher gangers, but I decided to go a different route and use a simple scheme. One has an ice scheme and the other a more forest-y.
This is a random off-brand Delaque juve from Necromunda I think would make a great bounty hunter with that long duster. The odd angle is because I had to fix him after his foot broke off.
A nobleman for SpaceFOE. His clothes look like crushed velvet. I really like the sculpt of his pistol.
This noblewoman resembles Helen Miren. She had a pistol that broke off, leaving her with something that resembles a deadman's switch or a communication
Perhaps the most random character of all, this is a model of the killer from the Scream franchise. Although he has a black robe in the series, I went for a blue scheme - because I prefer not to paint too much black.
This was a low-polygon Mech-priest painted in classic colors. I like his drill arm. The arm broke when I took it off the printing supports. I glued it back in its current position.
I painted this generic adventuress based on Sheila from the classic D&D cartoon, giving her a cammo cloak using a color scheme similar to the Spy.
This sniper I did with two different types color cammo schemes. The cloak with brown and green for his pants.
I built my tyranid warriors to carry a variety of weapons and use them in Grimdark Future. I like the ecclectic armament.
In SpaceFOE, they are elite Tick warriors who serve a local commanders. Unlike the gnashers and spitters, warriors are rather intelligent and have a sense of self-preservation.
I painted this guy as a member of my classic Cawdor Necromunda gang with purple and lavender.
This sergeant is ready for action and lead troops into action. I keep thinking he might lead the Green Thugs as an officer.
In 40k, poxwalkers are the mindless hordes of creatures infected by Nurgle.
In SpaceFOE, they are the vessels of the Rot simply called Rot Zombies. Their bodies become ever more deformed as the disease advances until nothing is left of them. When their bodies become so deformed that they can not longer move, they collapse and eventually die. And the Rot become dormant.
I really like this sculpt for a number of things: the staff and that its eyes are covered. Makes for a mysterious stranger.
This character is an uncontrolled psyker or someone who is being possessed. It is rare to find a sculpt with this type of pose. I went for a simple job with him.
When I first saw this model, I immediately thought of painting her with a cammo-scheme and make her into a spy-like figure. I chose unique colors to make her feel "spacey" and I really like the final result.
And now we have a fleet officer based on a Star Wars character.
