Finally got round to starting on the Impact! Amazon team.

Image

1) Undercoated with GW Skull White spray paint
2) Basecoated with GW Skrag Brown
3) Wash of GW Agrax Earthshade
4) Highlight of GW Skrag Brown / GW Deathclaw Brown / Tau Light Ochre
5) Highlight of GW Kislev Flesh

It's turned out darker than I planned, might try one starting one shade lighter and basecoating with Deathclaw Brown.
Found highlighting the legs tricky, no obvious edges to work with. I'm still not comfortable painting the highlight onto a curved surface. Also, the abs have come out sharper than I'd prefer. Would rather a more subtle effect.

Still not decided on a final color scheme for the uniforms. Think it'll be primarily yellow with gold effect armour, either a blue or green trim. Not sure what to do with the animal furs, whether to stick to one scheme or vary it (tiger, panther, leopard etc).

I think the darker skin tone is nice.
She looks like she's been out in the sun, which I feel fits the 'zons perfectly.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the feedback, the tanned look is growing on me. Might still try a step lighter and darker to add a bit of variation to the team. Painted up the uniform now.

Basecoat of Averland Sunset
Wash of Seraphim Sepia
Highlighted with Averland Sunset, Yriel Yellow and Flashgitz Yellow

Basecoated and shaded the armour, need to drop by the local GW tomorrow for a few more paints to finish it off.
Still undecided on how to handle the furs.

They look great. I've just started painting the same team and I'm not sure about the furs either - maybe I'll wait and see how yours turn out first! :-)

Coming along very nicely!

The primer on my Impact 'zons got screwed up (my fault, old spraycan and colder than usual day when I tried to prime them) so I need to strip them down to bare resin and restart the painting. The level of detail you're getting from these figures is inspiring,

Went with leopard print for the furs, reasonably happy with it. Needs to have the u-shaped pattern to work, black dots don't have the same effect.
Just the feathers and details to finish off.
