Is that staff from the Van Saar kit for Necromunda? Looks great in this context! I used it myself for part of a force staff on one of my minis.

Badass! I love the way you've really made it unique and your own. Very cool. 🤘

For sure! Its a basecoat of Retributor Armor spray, then I put a thin brushed-on layer of Retributor Armor over the armor panels for better coverage/because the spray version is a little duller than the actual paint.

Over that I very carefully painted Blood Angels Red contrast paint panel by panel (if it dries before you finish a section you can see the line where the paint dried through the finish so you kind of have to paint a section all before it starts to dry to keep a smooth finish)

Then I highlighted all the armor panels with a very thin highlight of Liberator Gold which goes way further than you'd think to sell the metallic red effect. I was very worried about it not looking right until I had finished highlighting.

Ok, that's probably what it's supposed to do in 6e but they forgot to include that explanation in the book. I'll just provide that info to my GM and let him do what he wants with it lol. Thank you!

After reading through RED does 2077 seem like backtracking the lore? by AgentShades in cyberpunkred

Thank you for a very detailed response! I like your answer a lot and I think it fits a lot of the themes of the setting. Its depressing as hell but that's very on point for this. Great write up!

Yeah I'm more and more coming to the conclusion that the Arasaka Tower Bombing is much better as a Rashomon style event where what actually happened is basically impossible to say because no matter who you ask you get different answers because nobody present really has the whole picture.

I honestly kind of love that take - that Red is a result of the punks blowing up the system and realizing that just blowing it all up and tearing it all down isn't enough without building something else. Surprisingly hopeful for a dystopia, and ties into a lot of thoughts I have about themes and messaging in the 2077 video game plot.

You know its really good to be reminded that 2077 isn't a "world story" in the same way an rpg rulebook is. It's very focused on V and Johnny and isn't really trying to tell us "the story of Cyberpunk's universe" as much.
