Hello, I want to start painting my Defiance soon and wondered If someone had already made a list with a painting order. How did you start? Do the scenarios build on each other?
I figured I’d start with the crew and any allies who aren’t members of the Combined Army. I think that’s the safest way for me to say what I’m painting first to avoid spoiling something for people who don’t know about something.
For enemies, you'll get the most use out of Taigha, Cadmus and Jayth. Next I'd look at doing the Nox and Gwailo. Feel free to do things as you please after that.
List on when a model is first used, sorted by mission. Can contain minor spoilers for the campaign. Spoiler Mission 1: Nox 1-6 Cadmus 1-2 Gwailo Sheskiin Agnes Console 1-3 Large Door 1-2 Container 1-2 Mission 2: Thaiga 1-4 Jayth 1 Seed Soldier 1-2 Small Door 1 Corpse 1-2 Mission 3: Seed Soldier 3 Jayth 2 Charontids Pit 1 Trisha Rahman Mission 4: Cadmus 3 Turret 1-3 Mission 5: Caliban 1 Mission 6: Taigha 4-6 Caliban 2 Aïda Victor Small Door 2 Mission 7: Nothing Mission 8: Speculo Agent 1 Large Door 3 Mission 9: Speculo Agent 2 Mission 10: Nothing Mission 11: Nothing Mission 12: Nothing Mission 13: Megalodron Models not used, some tips on usage in (): Large Door 4-5 (paint 3 as secure doors and 2 as normal doors) Small Door 3-5 (1 Secure, 2 normal, no use for rest) Container 3-4 (paint 2 differently to represent looted container) Corpse 3-4 (same as Container) Pit 2-4 (but several missions starting with Mission 9 uses Breaches which Pits can represent, there can theoretically be up to 6 concurrent breaches, due note that one mission uses both Pit and Breaches so paint 1 differently) Models not included in defiance: Mission 1: Vaarah Zaandar Mission 6: 2x Survivor (spaceship crew)
