Painting miniatures and traveling the world as often as possible.
ISDI guess I got both inspired and lucky with timing, I managed to paint the bare metals. Or at least the first round, using slightly thinned-down VMA Dark Grey / RLM66. Highlights maybe tomorrow, if I manage to steal the time.
As usual, my bare metal bits are the various weapon barrels / faces, vents, and joints that look like the part. I also try to keep in mind that I'll be adding some jade highlights here and there later, so no plan is ever really locked.

Scott's Game RoomHow I Paint: Jade Tigers
The Jade Tigers are my daughter’s mercenary unit for the campaign that we’re playing. Initially she was just using my Clan Jade Falcon Delta Galaxy miniatures, but I decided to paint up her units in a custom scheme. After chatting a bit about ideas, we settled on light grey units with green, tiger-striped accents.
For the Jade Tigers color scheme, I used the following process:
For the tiger stripes, or other small details in black, I like using Black Templar contrast paint because it flows nicely off the brush while having enough pigment to still end up as black stripes. Alternatively, a standard black paint will work but you’ll want to add a bit of water to dilute it enough so that it flows nicely off of a small brush.
So far I’ve only painted three of these, but I’ll be painting more when my daughter decides to buy additional units during our campaign.
@NinjaDebugger still figuring this site out. Thanks for the suggestion!

@verdigrhys what are you using as a backdrop?
VerdigrhysSecond take on the First St. Ives Lancers scheme, this time a Cyclops. It's not that different from the Archer I did previously, but I'm happier with this green.
