Arcane Gunners and UA

 

So this is the second unit of Arcane Gunners and UA that I've painted in the last few weeks. I'm currently painting up basic and elite Allister Caine so I wanted both to synergise with him and provide good tier list action. I've only played one battle with them so far but they definitely have their uses. Very hazardous when jackmashalling though. I think I would only do that with a Defender for super long range and keep the rest for mopping up anything that gets close. We'll see.

 So I started with P3 Bastion Grey pants, P3 Cygnar Base Blue jacket and hat then drybrush Cygnar Blue Highlight mixed 50/50 with P3 Frostbite.

 Next was P3 Bootstrap Leather boots, holster and belt. Then P3 Ironhull Grey metal parts and those parts were then drybrushed with P3 Cold Steel. Then the flesh parts were painted P3 Midlund Flesh and drybrushed with DB Elf Flesh.

 The hair was painted a variety of colors from model to model. The leather parts and sword handle was painted with P3 Rucksack Leather.

Most models you assemble for any line don't fill in the base in its entirety. I use a filler to tidy that up.

The filler I used is what I always use but I don't think I've shown you for filling bases...my old friend air drying modelling clay.

 Just take a little bit...

 ...fill in the base from the bottom.

 Then smooth it over.

 I use old dental tools that my wife's work is done with and is about to throw away. Just goes to show that your dentist can be a good friend!

 For the edges I went over them in P3 Cygnar Blue Highlight. Then I used GW Dwarven Bronze for the gun, cuffs and details. P3 Rucksack Brown on the goggles, P3 Arcane Blue for some gun details and finally a wash of GW Devlan Mud.

 Here's the group of 6.

 The sergeant...

 ...model type A (there's two in a box)...

 ...Model type B (one in a box)...

 ...and model type C (two in a box).

Here's the UA. Slight differences but the same general scheme.
