I haven't done many figures for over a year now, so I decided to get back into painting again with the Imperial Assault game. I was watching the trailers for the upcoming star wars battlefront game, and saw the Shock Troopers - elite troopers with red patterns on their armour, and decided that my elite troopers and elite heavy troopers would be shock troopers, so this is how my first elite trooper turned out. I think I'll add elements of red to all the elite figures to help set them apart.

This link is a pic of a Shock Trooper which I used as a rough reference:

And I thought I'd add some red to a Probe Droid to make an Elite Probe Droid

Creative idea. The shock trooper helmets look sweet!

nice to see the red accents on them.

I've been painting up some more of my figures and did Darth today. I tried to suggest illumination from the lightsaber onto the outfit. Instead of painting him black, I painted him grey, then used layers of washes, which left visible shading on all the raised ridges and surfaces.

Painting up the Elite Heavy Stormtrooper's with the red shocktrooper type of scheme again that I used on the stormtroopers last year.
