Winter Kit event and its Tusken Time!

By KrisSherriff, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Hi all,

I am running a winter kit event out of the Sentry Box tomorrow in Calgary, whilst I don't think we will be live streaming this one I may be able to record some games.

As I picked up my smuggler and Bantha Rider yesterday Inthought it could be fun to use them as my list if we have Odd Numbers, and never one to shy away from a challenge I decided to paint them at 8:20 pm this evening.

And just under 3 hours later I am calling it, not too bad, have some cleaning up I would like to do but they are ok.

I have a couple of choices still to make on my command deck but the deployment cards are;

Bantha Rider

Nexu

Beast handler

Elite Tusken Raiders

Wish me luck, and well hope for odd numbers I supposed ;)

Dear god, you're taking two banthas as an odd man out list? That's mean. Like really, really mean.

I ran the following as a "funsie" list after coming 2nd in a store champs.

Bantha

Bantha

Elite nexu

Regular tuskens

Regular hired guns

Gideon

Temp alliance

Beast tamer

Punishing strike

Such a fun list, that nexu with punishing Strike dishes out the stun (or any harmful condition), so good! Or use beast tamer with it and move 12, then pounce!!! Meow!!

Bantha steamroller I call it!

We take our IA very seriously ;)

We hade even numbers so I didn't get to play anyway :)

In the finals at the FFGC store championships this weekend were two lists with dueling dual banthas.

It's new people are not used to it and I doubt many had it backed up by Tusken Raiders.

Calgary eh, I'm a bit of a drive from you guys but so far that is the closest city I have seen that is doing a store championship :(

Wish IA was bigger in the rest of the prairies.

I really love your bantha paint jobs, great job

Thanks,

I have an extremely busy week this week but am hoping to touch them up before an event on Friday.

If I get the time I will post more photos!

You painted ALL of those figures in < 4 hours? Sweet Jesus.

That is nothing to the insane challenges I use to set myself.

I painted an entire Tomb Kings army in 7 days for Warhammer and think I did the same thing with an Empire Army.

If you plan everything out, limit your pallet and set a realistic standard for the product you are producing you can do wonders.

The one tip I always give when doing a painting demo is that you are painting a model for three feet away not three inches so after a layer is finished, put the miniature down, close your eyes and then when you open them look at it as if it were on the gaming table on the other side of the board and if your only though is "the base isn't done" then finish the base and your done :D
