When I bought these models, it was really the handsome front lad I wanted to paint, the others were a bonus but less interesting to me, as they lacked the cool helmet of the leader. The official painted versions had them in a drab WW2 scheme, which makes sense in terms of them being from the Konflict 47 range, where everything's browns and greens, but I thought it would be cool to paint them as a rose gold armour. The Japanese are always living in the future, and I imagined their troops would be too.
I've tried a few new ideas on this vignette. Only the front model is painted fully, with the two behind only being 60-70% completed, so just broad volumes and no real definition with me trying to push the eye toward the model at the front and have the others feel "blurred" and slightly out of focus.
I put them on a dungeon tile from Fenris Games to make it look like a coastal scene, and both base and models are the same colour palette, with the only difference being a blue filter on the base to feel closer to the water colour, and introduce a green hue (with the blue over yellow).
