It\u2019s very difficult to stay focussed on them when I have so many other, easier teams to paint. I\u2019ve done more work with a wet palette on this team to try and practice mixing colours and getting smoother blends. The skin was a base of Calgar Blue mixed with Eshin Grey, highlighted with Dawnstone mixed with Calgar Blue, then a highlight with more Calgar Blue, and a final one with a little Pallid Wych Flesh.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" style=\"float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto\" alt=\"These guys are often defending with their back to the pitch, for their tail ability to make them a little more survivable.\" src=\"https:\/\/pagan-gerbil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WP_20150907_17_05_28_Pro.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\"><\/p>\n<p>The armour was Rhinox Hide mixed with Bestigor Flesh. Increasing amounts of Bestigor Flesh for a further three-ish layers.

They can handle a pretty good passing game and they already start with a card to save me the trouble of buying one. I don\u2019t know exactly what upgrades I would buy in an exhibition match, I don\u2019t know that they need any coach benefits and ranks wouldn\u2019t guarantee them the Skill boost that every Striker wants. Maybe they are a good team to fill up on coaching dice with, to help push for early scores and landslides.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" style=\"float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto\" alt=\"Obligatory 'Strikers Run' pose\" src=\"https:\/\/pagan-gerbil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WP_20150907_17_07_04_Pro.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"342\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cetamere system is unusual in that every planet has a large amount of water on the surface &#8211; the asteroids are mostly ice comets caught in the star\u2019s gravity and even the moons of the planets are mostly water or ice.
