Getting my Star Wars on

These are the rest of the minis from Shatterpoint, these and the previous ones are all painted using the videos from Sorastro fine guides:

However I used two thin coats paints rather the scale 75 ones he was using.

I have had the Shatterpoint minis from the starter set sitting on a shelf since last year when painted the terrain. I also had a couple of the legion version of the figures sitting around as well so I thought I would paint those along side these.

I quite enjoyed the larger scale and because there are so few taking a bit of extra time with them. These are the first batch complete the rest are nearly done so I will try and them up later this week.

My last star wars minis for while as I wanted to get started on a spring cleaning project. The freehand was a pain but I got to it to something I was happy with.

The grey armour is Dawnstone, with dark sea grey highlight and the dark grey being eshin grey. The under suit is cloudburst blue over a zenith prime. Finally the yellow is yellow flame from two thin coats range, I was very impressed with the coverage for a yellow only needing a single coat (odd given the name of the range) over the grey worked well.

I realised that I had quite a few core sets and hadnt painted any of the barricades from them so using this video as a guide I set to work.

The wookies are pretty much all contrast as are the rebel upgrade pack.

I’ve managed to get Operative Vader done this week, still not totally happy with the OSL on that as it looks odd from certain directions.

Then there is the inferno squad (who all seem very small next to vader). I have opted for red patches on their shoulders as the art work has the imperial symbol on there and I am not freehanding that!

Lastly the BX Commando droids who were all contrast (Basilicanum Grey over grey seer and Black Templar for the weapons).

I had a squad of stormtroopers and a stormtrooper upgrade box primed so I thought I should finish those off. I also made some stands from acrylic rod for the BARC speeders and finished off their bases.

The stormtrooper bases are:

• Vallejo brown earth paste
• Vallejo sepia wash
• Army Painter black battleground in patches
• Black rim

The Clone bases are:

• Army Painter battlefield rocks (for the larger pieces)
• Army Painter brown battleground
• Painted brown umber (paint from a tube)
• Dry brushed grey
• Dry brushed Zandri dust
• Army Painter Frozen tuffs
• Uniform grey rim

I seem to have misplaced the clear stands for the speeders and strangely one of the heads for the gunners on the side cars. I’m sure they’ll turn up at some point.

These still need basing but I’ll sort that out once the stands turn up.

Finally got these done following Sorastro’s wonderful videos. I’ll have to work out the basing for Obi-Wan as I didn’t right it down when I did the clones.

Next up some BARC speeders and operative Luke
