Droidekas Painted

Star wars Legion Droidekas

They were very hard to put together but pretty easy to paint. A lot of metalics with a wash, than just the eyes and done. I painted the "shell" armour with a dark bronze and after I washed them with aggrax earthshade I also gave them a very light purple wash.

B1 Contrast Fun

Star Wars legion B1's painted

After I finally assembled 4 units of B1's and the upgrade expansion all I had to do was paint them. I read a lot of players used the recently available Games Workshop Contrast Paints. I tried it on 1 test model and I was blown away with the results and how easy and quick I could paint them up. I did tweak the recipe a little.

Sorry I''m late for the group shot

I mixed the Skeleton Horde with some Aggaros Dunes contrast paints in a 3:1 ratio. For the guns I used Black Templar contrast paint. When the models had dried I lightly drybrushed them with some Vallejo Iraqi Sands but any light bone colour will do. To finish them I added some weathering with the sponge technique. I sponge on some dark brown paint and late stipple some Runefang steel in the same place to make it look the B1's have some scratches.

Count Dooku Painted

Count Dooku is the fearsome leader of my Separatists army. I liked this charachter in the movie and I love this model. I think the pose is great. Painting him up was pretty straight forward. I had a look online for the right colours and had him done in an hour. the only difficult bit is his face.  I painted the lightsaber to match the lightsagers I did before but I might go back and change them all one day. 

Looking very much forward to see how he plays.

Painted Jyn Erso

When I had just painted Jyn I took her to a tournament as my rebel commander. She has some nice tricks up her sleeve but at  the three games I played with Jyn that day she never really came through. I was looking forward using the infiltrate special rule but I think is rule good but also dangerous. I overplayed it and Jyn was stuck in the middle of the board and had to stay out of sight for the first three turns. I really have to learn how to play her best.

I love the Rogue One movie and have seen it plenty of times. The painted model goes nicely with the pathfinders. I'm currently painting up her lover Cassian Andor so when he is complete they will make a nice set in my display.

Painted AAT (CIS)

After a year of silence I have resurrected this blog with a post about the mighty AAT (armoured assault tank).

I have always liked the sleek look of the AAT and the different aproach to a tank from other designs really made me want to paint this model. I now have a small droid army but the repulsor tank makes  a nice centerpiece. It's hulking size alone strikes fear in my opponents.

I picked up a new core set, I wanted two but couldn't find more than one. I got some additional units but because of the Corona crisis and FFG current shipping circumstances I can't get all the units I want. I'm still looking for some B2's.

I painted the AAT as in the phantom menace when the Trade Fedaration invade Naboo. I always liked that colour scheme and it fit's in nicely with the rest of my army but more of that later.
