Orange Minuteman

Ok I finished the rest of my Cygnar light jacks over the Christmas holiday. I will be posting the pics over the next couple of days. The first one Is the minuteman. I have really liked this model. The sculpt is really nice and I have seen some awesome conversions to make it look like it is flying. I really think it turned out well.

Work in progress report orange Cygnar army

Ok so December is usually taken up by all of the things going on. I probably won't get to my local game store at all this month and painting time is almost as hard to find. However I do manage to get to painting last night at around 10:30 and got about an hour and a half in before I had to turn in. I got quite a bit done though. All I have left to do on these warjacks is the tan areas, some highlighting and touch ups, and the fine details like the rivits and things.

Cygnar Orange Crush Army

Ok so maybe I am crazy. Or maybe I just didn't like having my Cygnar army painted like Everyone else's army. I was looking for alt paint schemes and came across a couple of orange schemes that I liked. I am starting with my light warjacks and repainting the smooth surfaces. I am going to try to get a earthy burnt orange color. I am starting with the old solar orange foundation from citadel. I am going to do a devlin mud wash and work my way up for the highlights. The metals will be done with the ancient metals from reaper, ancient bronze and ancient copper mostly. The padding and accents will be tan washed with devlin mud as well. Here is a picture after my first coat of orange. I will be putting another coat of orange before I move on to the other steps that I just outlined.

More minuteman

Well I have made some progress on the minuteman since my last entry. I have primed and then painted the dark blue base color. I usually do the Metallica first because I like to dry brush them and t makes a mess. I may end up reprinting the blue if I make a big mess of it, but that is ok because the blue is all on easy to access surfaces that do not have tons of details. I am enjoying this model and I think that it will be fun to finish up.

Minuteman

So I have gotten myself a minuteman.  This little guy will work well in many of my lists and I think he will be fun to play.  So I took some pictures of the steps of putting him together.

This is all the parts

 This is putting on the jump pack.
