The Broadside and accompanying drones are now done. His primary weapons are magnetized and painted.
I thought I did this scheme in a clever way. The ochre colour I have is a little too yellow for me and all my oranges are too orange. I ended up painting it all in the ochre colour and then glazing the whole area in transparent orange. That way, the orange warms up the ochre to the tone I was looking for. The highlights I kept as bright yellow to hopefully convey the hard material of the battlesuit.
The shield drones also follow a similar scheme. I also gave their midsection a bit of a glow as if they are radiating their shield auras.

I’ve got most of the way on the Broadside and drones. As mentioned before, the scheme is going to be the reverse scheme to Commander Shadowsun. Where she was painted mostly purple with orange as the secondary colour, the Broadside is painted orange with purple as the secondary.
When I’m done the rear dial and the shield drones, I do want to add a bit of blue glow effects around their pale blue parts.

This has been sitting on the back burner for a bit while I was focusing on the Harlequins, but I finally did get around to magnetizing it. Just the main armaments are have magnets so it can switch between the railgun and heavy missile system.

The next step in the Shadowsun squad. Commander Shadowsun herself and drones. I increased the brightness of the purple and put a bit more red into the trim. Since this is the reverse scheme of the rest of the army, the Broadside is going to be mainly orange with purple trim.
This is my first time painting her new scuplt. And I must say, Shadowsun has come a long way from her pewter origins. She looks so cool!

We have a small commission to change things up between doing many dozens of diamonds. Here is a WIP of Commander Shadowsun and her drone buddies. The regular scheme for this army is ochre/orange as the primary and purple as the secondary. But, as is tradition with Sahdowsun, I am doing the purple as the primary colour instead.
At first, I was going for a flatter ochre colour, but the shading lended itself to a more NMM look, so I went with it. I think I will work on the purple highlighting a bit more. I want to brighten it further so the blue shading I did on her isn’t so lost.

Finishing off this commission with Commander Shadowsun and a Cadre Fireblade.
Shadowsun follows the army colour scheme, activating her camouflage. The Fireblade looks very leader-like.

These are the rest of the drones in the commission. A couple drones for the Ghostkeel, a couple shield drones for Commander Shadowsun, and a bunch of other mostly shield drones. All that’s left is Commander Shadowsun and a Fireblade.
