Painting the Terran Authority Starmarines Police (post 348TW)

Stowage Normally I would add some but I wanted the TAS police units to look quite clean and not so ‘lived in’ as the mercenary units they are supposed to be dealing with. Dipping I used a Future/Klear (floor polish) plus 10% black/brown ink mix and dipped first the front and then the back half of the vehicles in. The turrets went in all in one. When dry I added decals from Bad Idea games and rub down Letraset. Matt varnish After all that work had dried I reached for the Testors Dullcote. After that metal highlights were added using Shining Silver and lenses for vision blocks and lights using Tamiya clear lacquers. Figures These were painted with Army Painter Army Green spray and then picked out with blue helmets and armour and bright silver weapons with black detail (grips and such like). They were then dipped in Army Painter Strong dip, then had visors added in silver with a top coat of Tamiya clear reed lacquer. I then added the TAS letters to their helmets with a small brush. Fireflies These remote drone swarms were easy to create using glass headed dressmaker’s pins with the shafts bent over using pliers. They were stuck 6 to a base and then sprayed black and hit with silver, purple wash and a to coat of Tamiya clear smoke lacquer.
