How to Paint Everything: Star Wars Shatterpoint Outer Rim Outpost Terrain Pack

Hey everybody, today I have a Star Wars themed How to Paint Everything for you! This time I'll be going over how I painted the Outer Rim Outpost terrain pack, for the Star Wars Shatterpoint Miniatures Game. This pack features an outpost building, a pile of cargo boxes and a bogwing critter.

I'll be using sponging techniques on the building to give it some texture and a whole load of drybrushing. I'll split each piece into it's own section, starting with the Outpost building itself.

So let's get started, you'll find paint charts below listing each color and I'll go over it all as well.

Painting the Outpost

Basecoat - Citadel Zandri Dust Spray Primer Sponge - Citadel Morghast Bone Sponge - Citadel Ushabti Bone Sponge - Citadel Screaming Skull Recess Wash - Citadel Contrast Skeleton Horde Drybrush - Citadel Screaming Skull Drybrush - AK Interactive Ivory

The Outpost is mostly sandstone colored, so to make it easy on myself I started with a basecoat of Zandri Dust spray primer. Using a sponge, I applied Morghast Bone, Ushabti Bone and Screaming Skull to the surface. Once I was happy with the coverage, I did recess washes and a surface wash of the sides, feathering out the paint as I went up. Once the Contrast paint was dry, I drybrushed the building with Screaming Skull and Ivory.

Metals

Basecoat - Citadel Chaos Black Spray Primer Drybrush - Citadel Metallic Iron Warriors Drybrush - Citadel Metallic Stormhost Silver

The gun emplacement and antennae were given a Chaos Black spray primer basecoat. They were then drybrushed Iron Warriors and Stormhost Silver.

Concrete

Basecoat - Citadel Stormvermin Fur Stipple - Citadel Adminstratum Grey Stipple - Citadel Ulthuan Grey Wash - Citadel Nuln Oil

The lower concrete rim of the building was painted similarly to how I paint the bases of my Marvel Crisis Protocol miniatures. I start by applying Stormvermin Fur to the areas that I want to be concrete. I then stipple the surface with Administratum Grey and Ulthuan Grey. Finally, the entire surface is given a wash of Nuln Oil to tie it all together.

Windows

Basecoat - Vallejo Model Color Black

Nothing fancy here, just paint the window holes Black.

Flood Lights

Basecoat - AK Interactive Ivory Wash - Citadel Contrast Pylar Glacier

The flood lights were painted Ivory and then given a wash of Pylar Glacier.

Painting the Cargo

Basecoat - Citadel Macragge Blue Spray Primer Recess Wash - Citadel Contrast Black Templar Drybrush - Altdorf Guard Blue Drybrush - Calgar Blue

The cargo boxes were primed Macragge Blue. I then used Black Templar and did a recess wash in all of the panel lines some shadows where the tarp lies. Once the wash was dry, I drybrushed them Altdorf Guard Blue and Calgar Blue.

Tarp

Basecoat - Vallejo Model Color US Dark Green Shadows - Vallejo Model Color US Dark Green: Citadel Shade Carroburg Crimson Drybrush - Vallejo Model Color US Dark Green Drybrush - Vallejo Model Color US Dark Green: Citadel Morghast Bone Drybrush - Previous Mix: Citadel Ushabti Bone

The tarp was given a basecoat of US Dark Green. I mixed Carroburg Crimson into US Dark Green and painted any shadowed areas to give it some dimension. I then drybrushed the tarp US Dark Green, a mix of US Dark Green and Morghast Bone and finally Ushabti Bone.

Bogwing Flesh Tone and Wing Membrane

Basecoat - Reaper Master Series Rosey Shadow Shadows - Reaper Master Series Rosey Shadow: Citadel Altdorf Guard Blue Highlights - Reaper Master Series Rosey Skin

The underbelly and wing membrane of the Bogwing started with a basecoat of Rosey Shadow. I painted the shadows with a mixture of Rosey Shadow and Altdorf Guard Blue and then gave it a highlight of Rosey Skin.

Bogwing Coloring and Patterning

Basecoat - Citadel Caliban Green: Citadel Caledor Sky Shadows - Previous Mix: Khorne Red Highlight - Basecoat Mix: Baharroth Blue

For the main coloring of the Bogwing, I decided on a blue-green. I gave it a basecoat consisting of a mix of Caledor Sky and Caliban Green. To shade, I mixed in Khorne Red and applied that to any recesses and shaded areas. I then added Baharroth Blue to my original basecoat mix and highlighted the skin with this mix.

Eyes

Basecoat - Vallejo Model Color Black

Not much to say, I painted the eyes black.

Mouth Interior

Basecoat - Citadel Tuskgor Fur

The interior of the mouth was given an easy paint job. I thinned Tuskgor Fur and painted it inside.

Gonk Droid Body

Basecoat - Citadel Rhinox Hide Drybrush - Citadel Mournfang Brown Drybrush - Citadel XV-88

I decided to paint the destroyed Gonk Droid brown. I started with a basecoat of Rhinox Hide and then drybrushed him with Mournfang Brown and XV-88.

Legs

Basecoat - Vallejo Model Color Black Grey Wash - Citadel Shade Nuln Oil

The Gonk Droid's legs were given a basecoat of Black Grey and then a Nuln Oil wash.

Feet and Metals

Basecoat - Vallejo Model Color Black Drybrush - Citadel Metallic Iron Warriors

The Feet and other metal bits were painted Black and then drybrushed with Iron Warriors.

Sand

Basecoat - Citadel Zandri Dust Spray Primer Drybrush - Citadel Karak Stone Drybrush - Citadel Ushabti Bone Drybrush - AK Interactive Ivory

The sand base was painted Zandri Dust. I then drybrushed the ground and some parts of the Gonk Droid, Karak Stone, Ushabti Bone and Ivory.
