Haven't been much of a painter, that was until I stumbled across Mr Sorastro and his painting guides. If you have not seen them, then pop over and take a look. They are very good, he even goes into mixing ratios, how to blend etc etc. Even has videos on Descent and Zombicide :D

I still have a long way to go to finish them all but with some help from Mr S they will get done. (Just need him to post his videos fast and paint faster ;) )

I have numbered the individual figures on the rear of the base as I, II AND III (neater than 1, 2, 3 if more than 1 in a deployment group) and different colours if more than 1 group with the same figure pose. The damage is then placed on the deployment card with 1 - top, 2 - middle and 3 - bottom of the card. Stops the board being clogged up with damage tokens.

I'm not that good a painter, but they have turned out plenty good enough for the tabletop.

It all started with getting Boba Fett and painting him up to see what it was like. He turned out ok. I then spray varnished him and he is now cloudy and the worst looking figure :( :(

I then bought the game and carried on painting. :)

Some Troopers with using the black and the alternate pose as elites when required.

The groups can be distinguished by the different coloured markings on the rear of the base, along with the number of each figure in the group.

The same with the Probe Droids. I find this a lot better then having different coloured bases or markings that were not in the films.

Those are awesome. And hooray you got the images to work. :)

Nice work man. I too never painted minis before this game and Sorastro was a godsend. Got like 5 more left to paint myself before Bespin hits next week. Eventually I'll get caught up but I really wanna wait on the Bantha until Sorastro does his. Yours is spot on though.

before Bespin hits next week.

wait, what?

@TryerImp you're going to have to join a (free) site like photobucket. Upload your pictures there, then copy a link to the photo and you can paste it here and not have to worry about limits.

The Weequays were finished in 2 evenings after work, 3 days before flying out to Worlds. Wont play without painted figures unless I am testing them out in a friendly game. Prefer the aesthetic look to plain grey/beige that most people prefer. Unable to paint at the weekend as missus wants it to be 'us time' I keep telling her that there would be more 'us time' if she join in as well. But she pulls a strange face every time I suggest it. Shame the tournament season has just started again with the Store Champs happening every other week it seems :)
