I’m afraid that if I do the black/gunmetal color the hands will get lost, but the camo color might dull the miniature down and make it hard to see (I know that’s the point of camouflage).Īfter getting some feed back, I made a quick change to my Stormtrooper. I don’t know if I want to do a black/gunmetal color or the camo color. The only thing I’m up in the air about is the gun’s color. Once it’s all completed, I’ll probably throw a little weathering powder on and base it on a forest base. The lenses and goggles will get a coat of Tamiya Clear Red and Clear Blue after I seal the model and do an oil wash. I went with a corresponding but contrasting color for the armor to help the miniature stand out some. I did this so when I went over the fatigues with a black wash, the miniature wouldn’t become too dark. I used a light primer, and my camo colors where equally light. I simply used a piece of foam you might find in a blister or from some pluck foam storage trays. The harsh light and extreme close up probably doesn’t make the model look great, but on the work table, it looks good. It’s an Imperial Guard Kasrkin stormtrooper, so the camo color and pattern are difficult to pick out, but the other photos will show it off a bit better. This post is to show off my test model for my Imperial Gurad camouflage scheme. Now, I’m not going to get bogged down in rules and army lists yet. No, I’m doing an Airborne Imperial Guard. I don’t want to do a standard Imperial Guard. However, I have to make things difficult. I’ve wanted to do an Imperial Guard army for awhile, and now that I’m selling things off to make room for new stud, I can finally do that.
