This is the fourth member of the squad finished off originally he was going to be a heavy with a light machine gun but with all the other gear that this gang/squad carry it was deemed over powered so Yoshi was turned into an assault specialist instead. Went for an almost Delta force look but changed some of the colours to represent the mixed uniforms that the state use. I'm quite pleased with how he turned out.
I plan on picking up a second set of the State just to convert with a head or weapon swap here or there. Squint I've noticed a few painting errors so will attempt to fix them before posting him Ironic that the one I screw up is the one that is named after me...........
Yoshi is on a one man war to rid the F-UK of Gangs and bandits, having witnessed the death of his close family in a Gang raid as a youth. The State protected and raised Yoshi, instilling in him and almost religious fervour and hatred for the Trade Guild, non-aligned towns and most of all, the Savages. Yoshi also despises the Inquisition, seeing them as questioning the might and authority of the Head of State.
Now a family man himself, Yoshi would stop at nothing to defend New Venice, seeing it as his home and castle, and the world which protects both he and his family.
Another excellent paint job on a rad model, dude.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dude. The conversion of this one will hopefully be getting a lmg and one of your backpacks :D
DeleteHe is looking mean!
ReplyDeleteLol ready to kick ass hopefully :D
DeleteVery nice, Simon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan.
DeleteAnother great addition. I think this gang will look very good indeed when all together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clint nearly there need to retake pics of Squint and the rest of the gang as a group hopefully for Friday :D
DeleteYoshi sounds like a character with noble intent, with a dark past - kind of like a Batman!
ReplyDeleteIndeed he does. I love all the background Rich has created for all his characters for the game.
DeleteThe greens go well with the brown hues of his pants. Which paints did you use for both?
ReplyDeleteThanks the Green is GW Camo Green, Washed with Athonian Camoshade then highlighted with Camo green and then Camo Green mixed with Rotting Flesh.
DeleteThe Brown Is Steel Legion Drab, Washed with Army Painter Soft Tone (A Sepia type wash) then highlighted with Steel Legion Drab. I didn't go any further with the brown than that.
Excellent paint job!
ReplyDeleteThanks dude :D
DeleteGreat work mate. :)
ReplyDeletePossibly one of my favourites from the range and you have done a bang-up job. :)
