On the workbench: Spectre Miniatures’ Criminal Element Heavies Squad.

I agonized quite a bit over the paint scheme. I knew I wanted to do the masks in white, both for a cyberpunk vibe and as a nod to Legend of the Five Rings‘ porcelain-masked zombies. Everything else hinged on making that color choice stand out. The Speedpaints Tyrian Navy may be just a tad too dark to show detail, but I think any lighter blue would have looked too cartoonish. It also sets off the Ashen Stone of the nylon gear pretty well.

Still need to add a bit of detailing to the weapons, paint the bases, and maybe risk a bit of white touch-up on the masks, but they’re 95% done. I was going to do the masks in gloss white but I think it’ll work just as well to leave them in the white primer.
