Sci-Fi Females

It's been a while, but I finally finished a few more miniatures.

A small squad of Valkeeri females from Hydra Miniatures.
And a shot showing the leader's cape from behind, along with a spacewoman from Reaper (I based her colors on the woman on the front cover of Osprey's Rogue Stars rulebook, even though the miniature isn't meant to depict her).

    Fabulous, I just love the sparkly green.

    Thanks, Michael!

    The green on the legs is an old (from the 80s?) Citadel green metallic (glistening green). For the bodies I used some blue-green metallic nail polish since I couldn't find other good metallic miniatures paints in other colors. I only have the green from bygone days. I used to have a good Citadel metallic blue, and I know they used to do various colors "back in the day".

    Anyway, it seemed like good colors for these ladies. :)

    Yes, the metallics are perfect for these! So fun!

    Thanks, Tim!
    They were pretty simple to paint (although I tried doing their eyes, which I usually don't bother with on human-sized figures). Hydra makes a few more, as well as some other retro sci-fi types.

    Lately I've been thinking about how to make use of these figures and various others for Pulp Alley games.

      Thanks, Phil!

      It did take some time from priming to finishing the painting, but that was simply because I had a hard time figuring what paint scheme I wanted and to find paint to achieve that.

    Great looking flash Gordon'esc space vixens, perfect colour scheme, I still have the set it's not the kind of colours you use everyday!

      Thanks, Iain!
      Ah, right, space vixens. That they are. And very true about the colors! I've used some of the color metallics for monster/large critter eyes, and for robots and the few sci-fi outfits like this instance. So as long as they don't dry out they last forever.
