Rangers
Rangers – Scouting in the wild
While I have been working steadily on painting models for lists I have been trying to play, I took a detour to paint the Rangers, who had been primed and on their slate bases for many months. I don’t currently have a list I use them in, but now that they are painted I think I’ll find some spots to try them out.
The Ranger were a good change of pace as they are mostly green cape with some brown armor and clothing. There is a bit of Cygnar blue on the knees and edges of their coats. Just enough to make them Cygnar and hopefully not ruin their camouflage. The bases are standard P3 bases with Kromlech Slate Basing Kit pieces applied. I wanted the Rangers to feel adventurous and not just in the middle of the battlefield, so I the slate rocks helped elevate four of them and add some larger scenery to the other two. I went heavy on the Jungle Tufts from Army Painter to really sell the deep woods feel.
Camo Cloaks
The cloaks are based with Ordic Olive, highlighted with Iosan Green and shaded with Battlefield Brown. These jumps of color helped give a camouflage feel, but instead of the pattern, it’s as if the cloaks change from green to brown based on the viewing angle. Probably could go one highlight more, but I think it is pretty good.
