I originally intended for the\u00a0Kasatha Technomancer<\/a> to be my final miniature of 2017 but, true to form for the year, I ended up being on call with the kids and didn’t get enough painting time to finish it. So, instead, it’s my first completed miniature of 2018!<\/p>\n

\"Kasatha<\/a>Technically, this is the second miniature from Shapeways<\/a> that I’ve painted as Hero Forge<\/a> uses them for 3D Printing but it’s the first that I’ve ordered from their store. T<\/strong>ip:<\/strong> I left this in my shopping cart and after a couple of days Shapeways sent me a 25% off your first order coupon code. <\/em>The model was designed by MistwalkerMinis<\/a> who I discovered on Twitter.<\/p>\n

This is a fun original miniature with a lot of character. The official Starfinder Masterclass miniatures are expensive, which makes options like Shapeways (which are pricey themselves) more appealing – especially for unusual alien races like Kasathas and classes like Technomancer.<\/p>\n

Out of the box, the\u00a0Technomancer had some small support sprues that needed clipped but otherwise was ready to go. The material used –\u00a0Black Hi-Def Acrylate – didn’t need primed but took well to painting.<\/p>\n

\"Kasatha<\/a><\/p>\n

I have a few options for SciFi bases, including some\u00a0 from Sedition Wars<\/a>, but I decided to go with a Necromunda base due to the higher quality.<\/p>\n

This miniature was a joy to paint. The color scheme immediately popped into my head and flowed intuitively. I gave the\u00a0Kasatha green skin drybrushed increasingly brown with pure brown highlights. For the robes, I decided to go pure white with turquoise portions – it doesn’t show up as much in the photos but I then went over the clothing with with a light coat of metallic pearl white giving the robes a plastic sheen. I used gold for most of the jewelry and metal decorations.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>I dipped the Kasatha Technomancer miniature in polyurethane twice for the added protection. Followed by a third protective coat of spray on matte finish.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/a>My first miniature of 2018, the Kasatha Technomancer, alongside my last miniature of 2016, Corps Officer Squad Mechanic with Alien Head<\/a>. I didn’t paint nearly as many miniatures as I hoped in 2017 so I was surprised to see even this much improvement.<\/p>\n

Edit: Took some new photos now that I have a photobox<\/a>.<\/p>\n
