[RoboRally]¶
Bots¶

After chatting with the trainer of a course (I was sent to by my company recently) about our youth, we noticed we shared more or less the same hobby past; RPGs and miniature wargames.

What he also mentioned as one of his most played games is one I had forgotten about: RoboRally.

It was always on my mind since this talk, and of course I succumbed to my subconsciousness and brought the collection of my games one more step to completeness.

As a short side project on my painting table, this brings painting the 8 bots as a short break in painting insurgents. Perhaps it is only me, but these short and small side projects are usually anything but...

For a board game, the minis are quite sophisticated, as they come painted. A silver base coat with a black wash.

Unfortunately no one cared removing the flash lines in advance (certainly a cost factor), so for my taste this basic paint job is not enough.

I started with a base coat from Vallejo applied through my airbrush followed by two coats of colour, a complete coat with a darker colour and a coat sprayed from the top with a lighter one. Only the two metallic bots have only one coat.

I finished the last group of the foot soldiers:

Next up are the vehicles, still in the state that I left them on the shelf several years ago:

[RoboRally]¶
Bots¶

I finished the 8 Bots, just in time for the first game with this box tomorrow. It was a lot of fun to paint these and a welcome change from painting 'serious' models, with their cartoonish character, big eyes, etc.

Insurgents¶

I forced myself to bring the painting of this group of models to an end this weekend, so here is the last batch.

Took long enough...

[Dreadball]¶
Lumber Rodents¶

Next project is my third Dreadball team - the Veer-myn.

For them I decided on a painting technique I wanted to try for a long time: pre-shading.

I will try to build up the shadows with grey tones, and then apply only inks and washes to colour the models, leaving the pre-shading showing through. Let's see how this will turn out...

I started by applying a base coat of Vallejo 71.097 Base Grey with my airbrush, followed by a wash of 1/2 water and 1/2 Vallejo 72.094 Black.

When this was dry, I started by drybrushing 72.050 Cold Grey.

This was all for now, but will be followed by 3 more drybrushing stages.

The pre-shading is done. I followed up with

  • Vallejo 70.870 Medium Sea Grey

  • Vallejo 70.989 Sky Grey

  • Vallejo 70.951 White

Next up is applying the washes.

If you have any experience with this technique, please feel free to share your experience in the comments.

Lumber Rodents¶

The test model is done. I used the following paints:

  • SWW008 Baby Poop for the skin, two coats

  • SWW019 Ruby for the hair, this will be alternated per model

  • SWW029 Fallout for the armour, three coats

  • SWW020 Orange, shoulder guards etc

  • SWW009 Sewer Water, leather glove

  • SWW017 Purple, tail

  • White, re-highlight top of tail segments

  • SWW026 Cotton Candy, tail

  • SWW006 Parchment, bandages, mask

  • Vallejo 73.203 Umber Shade, bandages, mask

  • SWW025 Just Red, eyes

  • SWW003 Armour Wash, metal

  • Vallejo 71.063 Silver, highlight metal areas

  • White, teeth and claws

  • SWW017 watered down, teeth and claws

  • Vallejo 72.094 Black, blacklining where some more definition is needed

The result is totally different to any miniature I painted so far, using only inks; but I like the effect. The other rodents will be painted like this model.
