I have started painting my models and began with the Rebel side. Since it's been a while since I last painted snything I thought the rebel troops would be a good start. I think the Storm troopers might be a bit easier but I wanted rebels first.
I wanted to give them a uniform look and feel but I didn't want to paint all the models the same way. So no all green shirts and brown trousers but instead I have made a selection of colours that I used throughout the units. The boots, gloves and helmets have all been painted the same way.

The way I paint is block paint all the parts of a model first then wash the parts with a GW wash and then repaint and highlight the model. This turns out a decent table top standard for me. I like to put a little more time in individual models like the commanders.
Besides using a few colors througout the army I have used the red/brown color on the helmets and backpacks to tie them all toghether.

 As you can see I have done some conversions. I went for a few regular headswaps so no unit is really the same but I also used some heads from some old Wizzards of the coast models. I really like how they turned out. If you want to see the conversions before I painted them have a look HERE.
I had fun painting up the units, it ws nice to be painting again but 21 models was a bit much. I was looking forward to painting up this game slowly, unit by unit but I decided to throw that plan out of the window straight away.

The bases have been done pretty basic. Just a paint, wash, drybrush there with a tuft of static grass here and there. Because it's Star wars they could be fighting on a Tattooine table, Endor forrest moon table or on some sort of space port. Because I kept the bases quite nutrual they won't look too much off on like say a Bespin table.

I can't wait to get them on the table for a game soon. Unfortunately the tournament I wanted to go to got canceled. But a t least that give me a bit more time to paint up more units.
