Painted TIE Royal Guard and B-Wings

By Lord Ashram, in Star Wars: Armada

Yeah Royal Guard! Good job; thanks for sharing.

As for their pilot cards

I would switch 'Swarm' to 'Rogue' to represent their lower numbers and independence from navy chain of command.

Maybe we'll get Royal Guard Squadrons at some point?

I am sure we'll get a card for them at some point, right?

I figured the red just helps them stand out in the MASSIVE swarms of grey that is all things TIE, you know?:) I plan on getting a second set of fighters, so will do those in regular grey with bloodstripes, for Soontir.

I like these. I only painted one Royal Guard Interceptor and one with stripes to more easily designate Soonter Fel's squadron. I like your shade of red better. I think mine came out a little too dark.

Lovin' the blood red shade on those Royal Guards, mate. Here I was, just wondering why Imperials didn't have any divergent colour schemes beyond grey and blue-grey, and you decided to go and prove me wrong before I wrote it down. And on a technical note, they look terrific: the colour is bright and the lines are crisp. While black and red is one of the most natural combinations for contrast, I wasn't convinced that red or black canopy brackets would show on something like that, but it works just fine!

I usually can't stomach the whole 'super elite of the elite' identity on a personal level, but with something so vivid, I might try something similar just to get away from the rank and file squadrons. Thanks for putting these up!
