First squad of Hearthkyn

The start collecting box I have for Votann included 10 Hearthkyn Warriors. These are the solid battle line of my LoV forces so will very much set the tone for my army.

 I liked the box art colours of the greater thuren league but preferred the lore of the trans Hyperion conglomerate. I therefore merged the two by making one of the shoulders orange. At first on the theryn I made the whole shoulder orange but after painting my champion character with an orange stripe I preferred the look. So the troops all got an orange stripe which worked better

Specifically I went with a grey seer prime followed by nocturn green for the legs and cloth on the arms. The grey on the armour was then covered with coelia green shade and the nocturn too. The white areas got a coat of deepkin flesh to lose the stain of the shade. The gun was different and got a gloss nuln oil shade and then white skar on the main plate with copper for the insets. Silver was then dry brushed over those areas along with the piping on the backpack and muzzle.

 Wildwood brown contrast went in the leather belt and accessories. Buttons on the wrist got picked out and reshaded as needed.the visor has an area that was red but I used the orange contrast I had used for the shoulder to pick it out. The visor had itself was silver. For the models with their space hoods up I went with more nocturn green. Hair colour is going to be orange or light blonde or grey as needed.

 Bases I wanted a asteroid style rubble so I tried using spare sprue chopped up and glued down as a single layer. This was then covered in sand. Primed and painted in dark grey with a dry brush of light grey. I tried a brown ink wash on the theryn but it didn't work so covered it back over.

Final result looks nice and doesn't take too long. I can go back and panel line the armour more with skull white and make the accessories look better.
