Clan Smoke Jaguar Alpha Galaxy Elementals
« on: 17 May 2024, 11:27:16 »
Hey all,

Finally painted up 3 elemental stands.  Used Worktroll's formula for table ready CSJ Alpha mechs, minus the spots:

Grey Seer Primer, Nuln Oil.  Used Vallejo black for the spaulders for accents.  Leadbelcher on their lasers for some detail work.  Fastest I've ever painted anything, great experience overall.  I still think the Elementals are a bit too small for my abilities.  But I'm happy to have done them. 





Cheers all!

Always happy to see more well-painted Jaguars!

(P.S. I feel the same way about painting Elementals.)  :grin:

I appreciate the plastic elemental sculpt because they're basically readable with a quick base coat and dark wash. The details are hard to paint but I think people aren't looking too close at tiny tiny BA anyways. Great work :)

There is a point that somethings are to small aka Elementals and Infantry, but great look. :smilie_happy_thumbup:

Turned out really well! And so simple and effective.

Made even sweeter by my first Alpha Strike game in ages last weekend.  These elementals (proxied for another clan) got my first ever Assault mech kill when I got a dual engine crit in the same round against a Clan Nova Cat Supernova.  Simple paint scheme and Assault mech kill on turn 3?  Yes please!

They were channeling their paint scheme into raw fury and hot dice rolls against the hated Cats lol.

Those look really good!
"Well, I do, Marcus, and rule number one of the MAC has always been that the man with the plan leads. If we get shot up, I'm the first one to get my ticket punched. There are no flags in the MAC."
"And there never will be," Barton said, nodding his head in agreement.

"You guys are facing a freaking Shadow Division! These guys have strict policies against playing fair!"

"I don’t care. Kill them. I planned the defense so I know it will work. If they claim otherwise, they’re cowards. Any step back is a betrayal of me, and saying they don’t have enough men is just an excuse for incompetence and disloyalty. Tell the Krypteia to do it if you’re too soft but get it done." -Emperor Stefan Ukris Amaris I
