Remember Cadia: Sky Marshal Samuel "Silverback" DiBrando

Before.

After spending about twenty objective years perpetually at about three subjectives seconds to galactic midnight, the timeline in the Imperium is finally progressing.  This is a fun thing.
Well, not fun for the Imperium generally, but for fans.

After.

Pretty much off the starting blocks, Cadia was destroyed.
In a middle aged effort to remain relevant with hip, young folk the Creeps have decided to paint some Cadians.

All dead.

Project guidelines for #remembercadia are as follows:

1) Find miniature(s)
2) Remember Cadia
3) Determine if miniature(s) are Cadian. If miniature(s) test positive, proceed to step 4. If miniature(s) test negative goto 1.
4) Remember Cadia
5) Render miniature(s) "finished".
6) Post photo of miniature(s) on Scale Creep to agreed schedule.
7) Under no circumstances forget Cadia

We didn't agree to a common colour scheme or basing on our figures or anything like that.  Cadia is known for its varied terrain and Cadians in appropriate duds have been posted to all sorts of theatres throughout Imperial space.  So anything goes.

As long as its Cadian.
As as long as you Remember it.

Sky Marshal Samuel "Silverback" DiBrando

Seeing the Castellan Creed model used in various scene setting photos over at the Governor General of Sector Six convinced me a while back that I needed one.  Its a particularly nice sculpt, highly recommended.  Lots of fun to paint.

Sky Marshal Anoke from Starship Troopers 3: Marauder

I decided to paint my Cadian uniforms with cues from the Starship Troopers movies, as described here where I painted some Cadian .  To tie the Creed figure in, I gave him a light coloured jacket a little, but certainly not exactly like Sky Marshal Anoke above.

My Cadians are painted pretty rapidly, so many of the textures on  Sky Marshal DiBrando are painted a bit roughly, using the same techniques.  I spent a little more time on the Silverbacks jacket and skin.
Im not really very good at rapidly painting figures to be honest, the slower techniques creep in more or less immediately.

"Yeah, well the thing is Samuel, Cadia is fucked.  Soz" said Inquisitor Verhoeven

I plan to paint a few more Cadians before I am done with them, but the next Cadian for show here will be from another Creep.
