New models for Rogue Stars - Part 5: Bajj Maranti

Introducing Captain Bajj Maranti, also known as "The Scourge of the Twelve Systems" following her dealings with the infamous organised crime network, the Baker's Dozen.  She waged a private war against them and eventually crushed the entire network, though her ruthless pursuit of the goal earned her a lot of enemies along the way...



This model is a female Xin Youxia and comes from the Alternative Armies Ion Age Year 2 collection.

 

Bajj favours twin vibroblades and is highly proficient in their use.

 

Armour is Khaki over a Bonewhite bodysuit. Flesh is Dwarf flesh, hair Beastly Brown. All received a sepia wash followed by highlight of the base colour.

 

Her cloak is inspired by Mendoza's billowing one from the Mysterious Cities of Gold (Number 1 Son is currently re-watching it for the 3rd time...), GW red gore (25 year old pot) inside and GW something-blue (free pot of paint with a magazine, can't remember the exact name!) outside. Rather than a shading wash, I blended in black ink for the shadows on both and blended in some white for the highlights, hopefully this'll make the cloak a bit brighter than it might otherwise have been.  Boots are black with a Humbrol dark grey highlight, weapons GW chainmail and black wash.




Bajj will be appearing in her first Rogue Stars adventure in a few days time...
