With several friends starting up Dystopian Wars locally my son and I were inspired to do some more work on our fleets. This update is on my neglected Blazing Suns fleet. I purchased one of the amazing Ika Squid models and just love it... renewing my interest in the Blazing Suns!

| The fleet so far! |
I decided to go with a very simple paint scheme in order to get them on the table as fast as possible.
1. sprayed the models black
2. Overcoat with a spray of white, leaving a hint of dark in the recesses
3. Paint the decks brown, guns Bolt Gun metal, Stacks and bow Red.
4. Take a big brush and wash with GW Gryphonne Sepia (Man these GW Washes are awesome)
5. Paint Brass parts
6. Detail as needed
This method is fast and gives you the option of going back and adding details (Eventually I'll add another layer of highlight to the decks)

All in all the Blazing Suns have some amazing designs. I'm glad I selected them as my "second" fleet after the Federated States of America.
Enjoy!
These photos don't do these guys justice...they are all washed out. (Haha. :) ) I think the quick paint scheme looks awesome in real life.
