Finished Painting Return to Hoth... Monochromatic Death!

By matthewjksullivan, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Sometimes simplicity is the toughest thing to paint! I just got through painting the villains in Return to Hoth, and they were tricky because I decided to remain fairly faithful to the Star Wars aesthetic and paint the figures in simple, uniform colours: white Snowtroopers, off-white Wampas, whitish hover tank, etc etc.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy!

Love these, well done. The tank is especially good!

Thanks Fishlegs! That tank took me forever.

I think it helps with its look to place it on a slightly elevated stand, so that it appears to float over the table.

You have a very unique style of painting. To be honest at first I did not know what to think of it but I love it. To shade in the way you do your hand coordination and skill must be rock solid. Fantastic work.

Did you use a gray wash on those Snowtroopers?

These are fantastic! Keep up the great work. You're an inspiration to me.

Wow, great job! These kinds of paint jobs are what inspire me to keep up painting and improve!

Did you use a gray wash on those Snowtroopers?

Nope - no washes. I basecoated the Snowtroopers with a 1:1 mix of Vallejo Light Grey and White. I then applied successive layers of highlighting by mixing in more white, until I got to the final highlight of pure white (which sometimes had to be applied in a few coats to get it to really shine). I then did a little bit of outlining in black or Stone Grey (and lots of clean up).
