I kept the scheme pretty simple as I am still going with the theme that most of their gear is dual purpose and is, largely, drawn from their mining equipment. I think the Akanauts fit that theme really well, with the small packs on their back that resemble air filters and their boiler suits.
The other reason for keeping the scheme simple is the sheer number of these guys I will be painting. I've not settled on a complete list yet but already in a 1500pt list I will need over a hundred of them and if I'd made the scheme too convoluted I would quickly lose interest in painting that many.
I've been thinking on my weapon problem as well. I'm thinking the best way forward for now is to get the whole squad painted up, sans weapons, and then as and when I can get hold of them to paint the guns up separately and add them later. Otherwise, at the rate the weapons are coming up on eBay, its going to be next Christmas before the squad is finished!
Anyway, that's all for now.
Until next time!
