ORB A Growing Populace (New Minis WIP)

My ComBot Patrol / Rogue Bot Gang is finished. I had many opportunities during the day to just paint, especially since the rain has been so frequent my yard never dries enough for me to mow it.








 
Well, I’d decided to make the left hand red after the original poster boys for 40k, and to call them (as a gang) The Crimson Fists.

Almost forgot I’d picked these up. I love the sculpts, but still really dislike the material. It’s a softer plastic, and requires superglue to put them together. There’s a seventh model in the set, but the gun was snapped off and it’s currently being glued back together.
 
For those interested, they’re taller and thinner than the current GW line.

It’s sort of like a bazooka mixed with a Dyson vacuum cleaner. I see their thought process.

I can also see it as an energy weapon too though - particularly if the barrel was painted like a lens.

I’ve started to do a quick lens on laser weapons just to distinguish them from regular. Unless they’re super tiny barrels.

Inspired by Kei there.

A lot of white miniature paints kinda suck. Pro Acryl often gets good reviews and personally, I tend to use a white ink now.

What’s odd is that I don’t remember old Citadel Skull White being bad at all! But the modern GW stuff is pretty awful.

Honestly, I don’t use white that much the days though.
 
I paint a lot of white for my Death Guard, and oddly enough, I had the best results with VJ white. It does have to be shaken extra long, so much so I'd recommend putting a ball bearing in to avoid an embarrassing repetitive stress injury, but I've been very happy so far.
