I just finished putting up my X-wing repaints, so I figured I might as well stick these guys up here too.
I have been having such a hard time getting their faces right. I don't know why, but I just couldn't do it. Finally, after noticing a troop on the 501st Legion's FB page, I figured it out.
The line above their eyes is black.
I sat, staring at a pic of a troop helmet forever not realizing that. Duh.
Anyways, here's the group.
Red has been dubbed Count Probula.
Speaking of the 501st, I hadn't seen anyone do this yet, and I don't know why. Elite stormtroopers? Who's the most elite group of stormtroopers in the EU? That's right. These bad boys. I'm pretty happy with 'em. Lefty over there is my favorite.
As much as I love my 501st troops, I'm so very happy with my Vader. He really wasn't even that difficult. Paint him black, grey-ify the saber hilt where appropriate, color the saber red, some color to the buttons. Simple. And then I saw someone add the glowy effect to Vader's cape, so I had to try that too. Very pleased with how it turned out.
