Phew. Feels so weird to start my own painting topic but I don't feel right hijacking other people's threads anymore

It's been a long while since I've painted something but I bought the Bespin expansion recently and we started new campaign. And with the new heroes so I have to get them painted soon. Here's Murne Rin:

The closeups really don't do the figure justice. It looks better from the usual gaming distance. That said, I'm not 100% satisfied how it turned out. I didn't even try to match the colors perfectly but highlighting blue didn't work out like I wanted.

Oh well, Davith Elso next. Hopefully it'll work out better.

I think Verena is still the best figure I've done (without following any tutorials). Hopefully Elso will take that place.

Verena:

So, painted Davith. He came out pretty well though I could have highlighted more or alternatively, been more careful with the nuln oil as it darkened the shoulder pads maybe a tad too much.

Davith:

But now I got all the heroes of our Bespin campaign painted:

Great stuff, keep it coming!

I really like the color of his light saber, nice work.

they look amazing.

keep it up

I really like the color of his light saber, nice work.

Thanks. The lightsaber was probably the one part I stressed about the most when painting the figure. All the other things went fairly well. Even the lighting effect from the lightsaber.

I considered both lightsaber painting methods Sorastro covered in his videos but I ended up using the same technique as with Diala. It's easier for me though it requires patience. I used Citadel's Green glaze (Waywatcher Green) diluted with some Lahmian medium and just applied layer after layer. I used the same wash for the lighting effect on the clothes.

I'm fairly happy to all these lightsabers. Vader's might have been the fastest one to paint. Also, in this angle you can see the full effect of the glaze on Davith Elso's lightsaber. The bottom part of the lightsaber remained a bit too white but I didn't dare to darken it because it could have ruined the part that shows when viewing the figure on the tabletop.

Nice. Those are looking great.

For my Davith I did his lightsaber like Vader's using Moot Green as a base, and then lightening the moot green with white for the thin strip on the front, and finishing it with some Runefang Steel.

Then since I didn't have a green glaze handy, I thinned some Moot Green with Lahmian Medium and used that for the lighting effect.

I would have probably used Moot Green if I had had it. I thought I had bought it when I started painting Mak but when I got to the visor, it turned out I didn't have the paint. For the visor I mixed something equivalent from various green shades and yellow. But since the green glaze I had was pretty close to the art color, I used that. I like how you managed to paint Davith's lightsaber, RogueLieutenant. The last picture especially looks good. I didn't get the green looking that good from the back of the lightsaber.

Okay, I have been away from Imperial Assault for a long time and I've been painting other games (Runebound, Mansions of Madness) but I'm back to IA and I started tackling some of the expansion characters I haven't painted yet.

Lets start with the purple brothers here:

Okay, so maybe the ISB Infiltrators shouldn't wear so purple armor but the box art sort of looks that way. So I went with purple and highlighted it with Fenrisian Gray to make it more "metallic".

I painted Bossk. Sorastro covered his colors brilliantly in his Trandoshan Hunter painting tutorial. Also the white armor is too large. Those parts should be yellowish but I had misplaced the boxart so I thought they were part of the white armor. And I thought in addition to that he was wearing a dark grey undershirt or something beneath the white armor so I painted that over his shoulders too. According to the box art, that should all have been yellow. Oh well...it's done and I'm too lazy to change it.

And lastly, here are two partly painted figures I'm tackling on next. I wanted to share the photo because of the color mistake with one of them...

Painted Obi Wan Kenobi. I'm really happy how he turned out though the white robe could have been more yellowish.

Verena's hair looks really good. Which colors did you use? I couldn't get my model's hair quite right.

I followed the recipe Sorastro introduced in his first Descent painting tutorial . So, I painted Verena's hair exactly like he paints Syndrael's hair.

So, base color with Screaming Skull. Wash with Agrax Earthshade and Cassandora Yellow mix (equal mix). Highlight with Screaming Skull again.

Whohoo! Finally got my Jabba's Realm stuff.

Captain Terro is almost done. Just need to add some finishing touches like a metal bridle. Also, funny how the camera loses the whiteish scales on the top. They look green on the picture. It's true that I washed them with the green wash like the rest of the figure, but in real life the top scales seem whiter.

Same with Shyla. She's still missing the base color since I'm hoping to paint all the heroes and then do the bases at the same time. Also, I think I need to retouch her hair, eyes and sword.

Looks great!

Painted Onar Koma. I'm fairly happy with how the figure turned out.

The paint job looks kinda crude but this is a closeup (the weapon highlights for the most parts). Looks a lot better from a normal gaming distance.

Gamorrean Guards

They are not accurate representation of the box art. I wanted something more different and "orcish" I guess. The weapons I wanted light colored but now I'm sort of thinking I should have used a second wash to darken them further. Well, it's never too late for retouch.
