Fairly quick set of models here (about 1 hour). I've been playing around with Speedpaint again and finished these Reaper Bones Beetle Swarms. Not complex, but quite pleased with the Orc skin over metallic to get a slightly irradescent effect on the green beetles. considering the cheapness they are also fairly nice sculpts.
Again largely speed paint, with the only paints being Charred Brown for the base edge, Oily Steel as the green undercoat and a couple of strokes of US Field Drab on the brown beetle shells for texture.
Here Trisha disturbs a log pile and gets an unwelcome surprise!
I quite like the Reaper Bones models for these, as they are:
1. Cheap, so not a massive issue if it doesn't work out.
2. 28mm, so a different scale to normal.
3. Fantasy, so a different colour pallete and theme to normal, allowing me to be a bit more creative, try new techniques and use colours I wouldn't usually.
Maybe putting the speedpaint techniques into better use later this year, to get some board games stuff painted. We will have to see.
