The rad roach was given a base coat of a rich reddish-brown and generous highlights of a light tan brown to pick out the legs and antenna.

I decided on a worn concrete look for all three building layers of grey for the concrete and muddy browns for the debris.

Fallouts scenic bases are excellent for trying out new techniques due to the crazy amount of detail. Finally, I applied a yellow glaze which added some warmth to the models and makes them stand out on the battlefield.įor the finishing touches, I spent a little bit of time on the bases, especially the one with the bisected Radroach. After pouring over concept art I applied a bone colour scheme also using a sepia colour wash for more depth. With the metal done I needed to brighten up the model. For this, I used deep reds as a base then added further orange highlights to bring out a little bit of colour and detail amidst all that metal. Small details were picked out to highlight their Synth’s “organs”. To brighten the exoskeleton up, I applied highlights of a brighter pure silver metallic paint. This was followed by a wash of Nuln oil to shade and fill in any recessed. In fact, I used this as my base metallic colour on all the models as this is my go-to metallic paint nowadays.

To start with I built up a couple of layers of dull chainmail colour. This was done a while ago as a sort of faction colour coding while playtesting. In this painting tutorial, I’ll be focussing on showing you how to paint two Gen 1 Synths and Konrad Kellog! These will be available in the core and the Covert Operations boxes respectively from the 6 th of December here and in your local gaming stores.ĭue to their skeletal Terminator vibe, I wanted to go beyond layering them in silver paint with a quick wash and calling it a done job, although if you absolutely positively need to get your miniatures painted in time for a game then this is still a viable option! All the miniatures were lightly primed with a Bone/off white colour spray primer. The Institute has been one of my favourite factions to playtest as the miniatures are fantastic with intricate detail and subtle variation amongst the troop types. Modiphius wargames developer Giles Nevill guides you through how to paint the upcoming Institute miniatures released on December 6th.
