Speed Painting Sci-Fi Infantry! The Solaryn Dragoons Kickstarter Sample [How I Paint Things]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ส.ค. 2024
- The Solaryn Dragoons are a range of 3D-printable sci-fi soldiers scaled to fit with most popular tabletop wargames. The best thing is, being STLs, you can scale them in your slicer to make them larger or smaller as necessary! They've got a really crisp, refined style that I think looks great, and as with previous Quartermaster3D offerings they come pre-supported and print extremely easily.
This sample piece was printed at 30 microns (or 0.03mm layer height) on an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro, with each regular exposure layer at 2.2 seconds and a careful lift speed of just 30mm/min. I'm really impressed by the print, and the supports all simply pulled away with just a little warm water. Clean-up was minimal, and took just a few seconds with a small emery board. Certainly much faster than shaving mould lines off a plastic kit!
Check out the Kickstarter page here and grab the sample soldier if you'd like to print your own to see how they look in person: www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

Paint the Sword and Pistol Sergeant Variant Blue and you have the perfect example of what a Harkonnen Solider from Dune should look like! These are awesome!
Good shout. :D These guys are pretty deliberately as generic as possible, so while they're scaled to fit with 40k (makes the most sense for 3D printing guys, most of the time) they can work with just about any sci-fi setting you could paint them to match.
That's a good looking Cadian sir.
I recently used this scheme for my Ironhead Prospector gang and I have to say it worked a treat(I did add some gold as my 'yellow' spot colour mind :P)! They look great, so thanks so much for generously sharing these fantastic schemes that simplify and make painting such a pleasure.
Another color scheme for my Guardsmen! I will try this out soon. Thanks for sharing this.
Very nice painting ideas. 👍👍 And thanks for the link.
My goodness this is perfect, I was given a bunch of Infinity models to paint and I was told to paint them in a very modern color scheme using greens, browns and greys, and this...helps so much to visualize.
Thank you for the inspiration now I'm eager to try out the easiness of this for a small army.
Always pleased to see people using these as transferable suggestions to other miniatures, too. :D
Wow! This is outstanding. I’m the creator of the Kickstarter. I hope it’s ok I added the video to the KS campaign page and my Facebook page. You’ve done such a phenomenal job painting him. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Go ahead, and please do! I'd really like to see this one take off. I went all-in on the previous Kickstarter and the moment this one went live, I jumped on to do the same. I'd love to pick the brains of whoever painted your samples on the Kickstarter page, but I think I got pretty close with a minimum of fuss. :D
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio very glad to hear that, thank you! The painted ones on the KS page were actually painted by yours truly and I’d happily answer any questions :)
Cheers! What's bugging is me what colour you actually did paint the armour. I can't quite spot it from any of the ranges I've got, and it's going to drive me nuts if I don't know the 'right' colour.
Oh wow nice stuff bud. I saw this the other day and will be backing it as well. They look great and tons of options to mix and match guys for any game or just for cool painting models 😁 il be doing a mix of cool painting models and some stuff for OnePageRules games.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio for sure! The armor is a 3 color layer (using airbrush) base is Vallejo air Gray Blue, followed by Vallejo air intermediate blue, then a very light zenithal airbrush of Vallejo air pale blue. Then I gave it a light drybrush with Vallejo model Color pale blue (oddly, it’s a very different color from the air version pale blue)…. Then followed up with nuln oil watered down and mixed with some army painter quick shade mixing medium.
I really like the almost field grey look the Athonian Camoshade has over the Mechanicus Standard Grey.
The green shade over gray is brilliant. That came out great.
German Grey - since watching your videos and getting some myself, one of my favourite Vallejo colours too.
I'm always pleased to hear people trying things and finding the same as I have. Means I'm not going mad just yet! ;D
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I find that having a range of the Vallejo stuff from their WW2 range helps to take care of most of the functional colours I need.
Thanks for the video! I’m going to have to try the eye lenses technique you showed. I also want to thank you for helping me get started with painting with your easy drybrushing space marine painting videos, they were the push that got me into the hobby and now I’m improving every time I’m painting!
Awesome, really glad to hear that. Sometimes it's just the push needed to begin, and from there you can see all the little changes and improvements as you're going. Keep it up! :D
Thank you , Troy .
No , 3d printer here , prolly would buy them ,and prolly would enjoy painting them , But being a boomer , have no interest in having a 3d printer , But thank you for the upload ,
Well, off chance you do like the look of them later on, some of those merchants will be able to print off a few if you do want to get your hands on them. :D There's a growing market of commercial licencees for a lot of the 3D stuff I really like, which is interesting to see - people reacting to fill the need of folks like yourself who don't have the space or interest in a printer.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Yeh , would defo have a interest in getting some , will be keeping a weather eye open for them on the horizon , oh and just a fiy , (Old dog , new tricks , as in this old hound just don't have a want to learn new skills , )
Thank you for bringing my attention to these Minis , Good upload , keep it up , and Cheers for all the graft you do for us , :-)
It's a very beautiful mini, effectively has a retro sci-fi look, the jacket is perhaps too long, but the overall is good, for the visor I normally use a base of silver, followed by Vallejio transparent colors (red/blue or green)
These are so siiiick! Checked out the kickstarter and its INSANE! Really wish I had a 3d printer!
These look like they’d be great for a HH militia army
I love this channel...
Always pleased to hear that one. :D
Love it
I happen to be one of the merchants for the KS, it's an amazing deal even before the stretch goals.
Great demo, subscribed!
That's awesome! If you've got a storefront or similar to point people toward, that'd be great - I'd love to update the description here if there's confirmed spots for people to come get their toys. ✌ It really is a brilliant collection, I'm really looking forward to seeing a couple of those stretch goals smashed!
looks like a grimdark version of the classic cadian sheme :)
Not a bad comparison, that!
Very nice I was looking at these the other day on KS. It looks great!! Would do well for a type of guard army or some OnePageRules Empire units or of course just for sweet painting 👌🏻
Yeah, there's so many options available for the range they'll work with anything.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio yeah I was looking though it and was stunned tbh ha you could make a guard army with 90 troops if you wanted to all with the same load out and you might only have a couple guys used more than once 😅😅
cool
Great video sir and fantastic sculpts. I have a question which may be directed towards you and the community here. Do you or anyone know of 3D printing services for strictly printing 3D minis? I have had a rough time finding small companies that will communicate well with me, as well as finding a fair price. Normally I would look into printing for myself, however I considered the cost to get into it, and the hobby that is 3d printing it's self and found that I have more than enough on my plate. I have STL files ready as well as pre-supported, but no company. Thank you again, and I look forward to future videos.
Looks great! This may seem like a little thing, but I'm curious what your recipe is for basing your minis. What is the texture? Sand? Baking soda? Texture paste?
Might not be what you're looking for bit cheap solid paste can be made by mixing varying amounts of wall filler, PVA, paint and sand
This one's just Stirland Mud, drybrushed heavily with Ryza Rust and then a little Eldar Flesh. Tufts to taste, and boom!
Stormvermin Fur looks like a great option for WW2 german "grey" uniforms. So much variation in the original colour across the course of the war and then the weathering of the colours in combat over time why not use a citadel colour.
Also, given how many seemingly one off minis you paint from a bewildering array of mini ranges your shelf must be eclectic to say the least. That'd be a good video for a change too. Show us what's in the cabinet/on the shelf.
The trouble is also the fact that I've been painting up far more recently than I've been able to in the past, so my shelves are a little more than just eclectic, they're absolutely stuffed. 😅 What I need is a bigger house to carry on with all this, obviously!
Could you please recommend some alternative to Terminatus Stone dry paint? Maybe, Tyrant Skull?
There isn't really a straight identical alternative. Tyrant Skull is darker and more yellow; you might try Brainmatter Beige from Army Painter for the most similar colour I can think of, or Vallejo Ivory?
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio thank you for the answer. Unfortunately, I'm not able to get Army painter / Vallejo paints in the short period, so I'll try to find some similar from GW set... If Tyrant Skull is darker/yellow, what do you think about Pallid Wych Flesh, or Corax White? 😕

can i send you my own 3d mini and you painting this roman style imperial guard modell?
Your videos are always fun and easy-to-follow along with. Thanks a lot. See you next time
