I picked up\u00a0two packs of the Corp Officers Heavy Rangers Squad for $4 from Asmodee’s 2016\u00a0Black Friday Sale<\/a>. I played it safe\u00a0with the first pack, only switching out the heads, but I want some variety in the alien race I’m creating with them so I swapped out the default equipment. I decided to go with a sword and shield. For comparison, you can see\u00a0my first take on this\u00a0miniature model<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Front<\/p>\n

The shield is a Tau Battlesuit bit and the sword is a Grey Knights bit. I got both from Hoard ‘O Bits<\/a>, a site that’s a great source\u00a0of conversion bits.\u00a0I have no intention of using Games Workshop miniatures, too expensive for me, but I continued to be impressed by the quality of their bits.<\/p>\n

\"Side<\/p>\n

I applied a metallic wash that I put together over the armor to give it a different feel.<\/p>\n

\"Back<\/p>\n

I’m\u00a0waiting for a can of spray on matte finish to arrive in the mail, then I plan to go over this one as well. This was the last miniature that I did in 2016 and the 38th miniature that I painted overall. It will be interesting to look back on it a year from now and see how much I’ve learned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
