Painting Some Separatist units
Went full Vallejo this time.
I did another bunch of B1 last time, trying different paints and techniques but in the end they were too much different, so this time they share the same scheme.
For anyone interested, step by step below.
I did a black base coat (use a black primer from Action) for everything first.
B1 :
1) Two thin coats of Bone White (72.034). Does not need be perfect.
2) 1 coat of Mummy White (72.449)
3) Goblin Green (72.030) for camo.
4) Black Wash (73.201) everywhere.
5) Black Primer (74.602) for weapons and binoculars. I used a primer because I don't have the normal black.
6) Dry brush the weapons and binoculars with Chainmail (72.053) very slighly.
7.1) (Optionnal) If the droid is a commander, Moon Yellow (72.005) for the marking
7.2) (Optionnal) If the droid has a rocket launcher, dry brush with Bright Bronze (72.057) the tip of the weapon then dry brush with Tinny Tin (72.060) not the whole tip this time but before the tip (to have a gradient).
7.3) (Optionnal) If the droid has a E-5C (see last picture), dry brush the tip of the weapon with Bright Bronze (72.057) then continue with a dry brush of Amethyst Purple (77.128) and finish with a dry brush of Ruby Red (77.126) by doing a gradient.
Droidekas :
1) Tinny Tin (72.060) and Chainmail (72.053) for the base.
2) Bright Bronze (72.057) for the tubes below the arms.
3) Fluorescent Red (72.157) then a little of Ruby Red (77.126) for the eyes.
4) For the tubes, I added a little bit of Aged Metal (77.159) as a wash.
5) I added Rust (72.609) here and here on the whole mini.
Barricade :
1) Two thin coat of Bone White (72.034).
2) Goblin Green (72.030) and Earth (72.062) for camo.
3) Black Wash (73.201) everywhere.
Base :
1) European Mud (26.807) everywhere.
2) Small rocks. Don't remember where I bought them, Action I think.
