Not quite a Legion of clones

After a While of having the Galactic Marines, I actually found myself a Ki Adi Mundi from Mel’s Miniatures on Shapeways.

And here we have Aayla Secura and the Star Corps,

I actually printed off and painted enough for 2 squads of 4 but only taken pictures of one of the squads seeing as they look the same, after all they are clones…

When you can’t decide if you want light side or dark side Anakin, why not have both.

Having been a big fan of 3D printing and keeping my eye’s open for nice things, a little designer called Dark Fire Designs had some gorgeous looking clone sculpts in there catalogue and finally they put the STL files out to buy, so one of the first I had to grab was these guys, the Galactic Marines or Nova Corps as the were officially,

Been awhile since I’ve updated my Project but i’ve slowly been building my clones up, Here we have a lovely red motif for the Coruscant Guard in Phase 2 clone armour.

started playing around on table top admiral a few weeks ago and made a list that was 90% of ther models it contained were all hoth themed, and despite my better judgment ended up buying what I could to start making the army,

the list starts with 3 units of rebel veterans and the corresponding laser/blaster machine gun, for these guys I sprayed them corax white, then used GWs contrast black to pick out the weapons, gloves and boots, painted up the trousers in either a blue or beige colour, painted up the flesh then gave everything a wash with nuln oil.

Next part of the list is 3 of the Rebel Dish cannon’s, these just got a spray base coat of chaos black, a 45degree spray of halfords grey primer, then a top down spray of corax white, followed by them details picked out.

I’m probably spending to much money on 3d printed stuff :p

Having ordered a clone trooper driver for an atrt. Anakin Skywalker when he became Darth vader around the time he sent naughty jedi to the naughty step. And some phase 2 clones.

Alongside a shit ton of terrain with a certain desert planet theme.

Havent had a great deal of time this week for much hobby, but I dis managed to get my wookies all furred up with a mix of three different contrast paints, black, cygor brown and gore grunta fur. Looked semi decent and good enough to me….

Also did some work oob the scout troopers, I’d ran out of my halfords white spray and bought corax white while getting the contrast browns, but I’d never heard before that corax white isnt white at all but more of a grey, bring lazy I just carried on and made the scouts look “dirtier.”

But what I have managed to do today,  saturday, if find some unit card templates and fart arsed around d experimenting with them and mocked up a clone scout squad and a jedi knight

Also managed to get some paint on yoda last week. Just his walking stick and the base to finish.

Here we’ve got the second of 2 units being added to my clone force. Just starting with the wookies and waiting for the contrast paint to dry before doing more work to them.

Yes I know that wookies aren’t available to the GAR list however neither are the imperial scout troopers I’ll also be adding. Myself and the friend I’ll mostly be playing against want to create thematic armies, so my clones will be built around the battle of kashyyk from revenge of the sith.

Seeing as captain rex from the clone wars came out I thought I might as well add another commander to my little legion.

Really been enjoying painting the clones, using the contrast paint as a shade turned out to be surprisingly effective. Happy how they all turned out.

Having now finished the Infantry from the core box. I started on the BARC speeder. Not really keen on how it looks but it’s better with out the side car in my mind, so that’s being left off.

To join yoda I also picked up Mara Jade, character wise I’ve always found her more interesting than the main characters of star wars.

I will either have to home brew some rules for he or use the rules for Luke or kenobi and just have her as a proxy, but this girl is definatly being included in all my games.

Wish she is made new canon. So wish.

Found a nice little store on shapeways that do roughly legion scale minis.

So I just had to get a couple. Especially yoda here. Wonder what his rule card would look like if they did rules for him.

And the basic building block of the second squad is painted up. Also started to get everything based after I decided what I wanted.

While the classic stormtroopers are one of the best scifi troops going, only really topped by scout troopers, but that’s by the by, the clone troopers do look pretty snazzy.

These guys were actually done before kenobi but who says you got to show things in order. Definatly not George Lucas.

Spray primed with halfords plastic primer white, used instar’s oxide yellow I got through asset drop, lovely colour and lovely paint to work with.

Slap on some contrast white paint and black, then a bit of tidying up and they are done.
