Cad’s hat is awesome, but big enough that his face is essentially invisible on the tabletop. You can’t even tell how blue he is.
Aurra Sing
I accidentally snipped off Aurra Sing’s antenna, thinking it was an extra bit of sprue. Oops. I replaced it with a bit of brass rod.
Bounty Hunters
The Bounty Hunters, along with Aurra, have a cool ability to adopt tags (keywords) for an activation. It doesn’t even have to be their own. That lets them interact interestingly with just about any other crew.
Fistful of Credit (Cad Bane squad)
I like the sculpted based in Shatterpoint, but with only one four-pack of regular 40mm bases, they start to get pretty samey. To shake it up, I decided to add spice to each model in this box. I made the cabling with green stuff and my tentacle makers. The power pack on Cad’s base is the back half of a space marine terminator torso.
Both the cloaks and smoke use one of my new favorite paint techniques. I put two GW contrast paints next to each other on a wet palette (say red and yellow). Then I alternate between them when loading the brush for painting. The goal is to let them loosely mix in the brush or on the model, giving interesting variations.
Nightsisters
After its dry, more washes and highlights give more depth.
Savage Opress
The contrast paints can also be used as a wash on the base, to give a quick-and-dirty OSL effect.
I did some spots on Barriss Offe’s cloak, but they’re practically invisible in the final product. Sooner or later I’ll learn to be garish in the first pass so contrasts survive washes.
Republic Clone Commandos
Like the 501st, I uses washes and chipping to keep the clones from being too white. I also take whatever excuse I can to apply contrast in the details, like the shoulder pads and below the chest plate.
