Star Wars Armada: Lambada Shuttles and Decimators

 

Some more Armada squadrons completed tonight. Each of the squadrons has the standard version and an elite pilot version of the card. This is half the box set completed I have some Tie Phantoms and Defenders to paint up next and the box is complete. 

Star Wars Armada: Lambada Shuttle

 

A break from the legion painting tonight. Spent some time tidying up the garage and came across my box of Star Wars Armada. Not played this game in a while but I knew I still had my squadrons to paint up. So nice quick and easy paint job on one of the shuttles. 

Star Wars Legion: Rebel Commandos Additional Upgrades Stage 1

 Work is progressing nicely on the next batch of 12 rebel commandos. Most of the base layers are now down, just some undershirts to do and then onto the cammo and washes. As you may have noticed there are some additional alien races to add some nice variants to the units. So are the following a Mon Calamari sniper, Ithorian gunners, Gran solider, Ishi Tib officer and a Chiss gunner. I am going to enjoy the paint work on these so that they really stand out on the battlefield. 

Star Wars Legion: Imperial Officer

 Bit of break today from my Rebels, and completed an Imperial Officer for a future roleplaying game or a future Galactic Empire list. I went with a German Dark Green from Vallejo. So it now back to the rebel commandos.

Star Wars Legion: Rebel Commandos Gallery

Today completed the first 14 of my rebel commandos, this almost completes my 4 squads that I have in my army. Just need to paint the snipers and some more troopers to give some more variation.

I took inspiration from Sorastros You Tube painting videos which can be found if you on the link.

Really happy with the progress that I am making with this rebel force. Getting the bulk of the troops done before I hit up Sabine and Ashoka.

 

Star Wars Legion: Rebel Commandoes Part 3

 

Not much progress tonight just the gloves and back packs, but with the weekend ahead of me looking to get some major progress on the models. 

Star Wars Legion: Rebel Commandoes Part 2

 

Some more work completed on the Rebel Commandoes tonight, laid down paint on the guns, trousers, helmets, belts and pouches. Its been a long time since I have done such a large batch painting run and forgot how little seems to be done. But I think another couple of painting sessions and I will have them completed and I can reward myself with Sabine Wren.

Star Wars Legion: WIP Rebel Commandoes Part 1

 

This weekend I have started on the major block of my Ashoka Army with the Rebel Commandos. This are the models from the core set, I do have some other models to fill out the units and to offer some model variation. But the major work on the bases is complete and rest of the week will start blocking in the colours.

Star Wars Legion: Refurbished Gonk Droid

 

Carrying on from my last droid the next completed model for Star Wars Legion is a refurbished Gonk droid.

This little beauty is an upgrade card for the Rebels and Shadow Alliance Speeder truck or the rebel only landspeeder. This gives 2 shield tokens to the model giving extra durability and with the added bonus in the end phase of recharging any spent shields. 18 points is a doozy of an upgrade.

Star Wars Legion: 2-1B Medical Droid

 

Next model completed is the 2-1B Medical Droid that is an upgrade for one of my Rebel Commando units. This unit upgrade will all you to take a wound or poison token from a friendly model or unit within range 1 and is in line of sight. 

Really pleased how Aethermatic contrast has worked over metal to give the slight metallic dull blue scheme.

Next up on the table is the core of the army the Rebel Commando Units. So far they are undercoated and the basing material has been added. Hopefully see some progress shots this week.

Star Wars Legion: Rebel Officer

 Last night I completed my first model for my Ashoka led Rebel list. Really enjoyed painting the skin and jacket on this so far nameless commander. Feels good to get the first model out of the way. This was painted up watching the second season of Bad Batch. Which is leading me to really looking forward to the release of those models. 

Also started work on the medical droid that will be supporting one of the rebel units.

I am going for the metallic looking blue that is seen in Empire Strikes Back when Luke is in the Bacta Tank after his encounter with the Whompa Monsters and Ben telling him to go to Dagoba to train under Yoda.
