Indeed, I'm convinced that all his cogs, tools, buckles and rivets would have undoubtedly put me off this sports game for good if I had selected the Defensive Midfielder as my 'first port of call'.Īs it is I am gradually persevering 'picking out' his brass leg-bracelets, numerous steel pliers and infuriatingly extravagant crossbow. Club captain Ballista however is proving an entirely different ballgame, courtesy of the multi-part, slightly cumbersome sculpt containing some unbelievably complicated detail. In the past I've managed to pick up a bit of momentum painting some of the players from the Engineer's Guild Team on account of all three models being wooden automatons, and therefore requiring reasonably straightforward colour schemes. With the bulk of my initial Starfleet finished, I have slowly been 'chipping away' at another of my 30mm 'Guild Ball' miniatures by “Steamforged Games Ltd”. All of these areas were then washed with “Citadel” Carroburg Crimson, Nuln Oil and Asurmen Blue respectively.īallista WIPs - The 'Guild Ball' Captain contains all manner of rivets, pliers, straps and pouches The starships were then roughly dry-brushed with more “Vallejo” Heavy Bluegrey before I started to 'pick out' their details using “Vallejo” Heavy Red for their Polyduranide nacelle particle apertures, Gunmetal Metal on their forward-facing saucer sensor dishes and Heavy Blue for their warp engine filed grills.

Having already finished two of these 'Miranda-class derivatives' before, and been very happy with my paint scheme's match to the Federation's famous 'dimmer blue' outer hull colour, I simply gave each model a double layer of 'Vallejo' Heavy Bluegrey as an undercoat and treated them to a generous wash of 'Citadel' Nuln Oil.
