Showcase: Auzituk Gunship

By Force Majeure, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

What do you get when you combine a Russian helicopter with a Wookiee? I don't know, but here's the Auzituk!

Awesome repaint! Is that R2-D2 inspired?

In so far as the color combinations are concerned, yes.

Surprised to find I don't have any direct photos on my phone...but here's a few shots where you can see my Grand Army of the Republic LAAT/i Gunship repaint of the Auzituk:

This looks like the Wookie cousin that moved off-planet but still comes back for Wookie Christmas* and I love it.

More importantly, is this 3 wookies flying against 3 wookies? Dear God man there has to be another way...

*Was this called Life day? I refuse to watch the holiday special again so hoping the nerdery can help.

Yes, this was back in first edition. Triple auzituks vs. triple auzituks. Inspiring Recruits and Rage vs. Tactical Officers was the essential difference in the lists, if memory serves.

I remember that game!

I had Expertise/Tactician/Breach x3, you had your Raging Wookiees list. You kicked my rear, a large part probably due to the higher PS of Wullffwarro and Lowhhrick.

Anyhow, here's mine. The three Auzitucks across the board are seen perhaps more clearly over here. Top-left is new, Blue/Gold is Glory, inspired by the Union army.

Crispy!

I just realised that I have not shown that one here.

One children owns an Auzituck, and wanted it painted. Child decided on (almost hot rod) flame-pattern on a green-green background.

Child got actually inspired and started painting self (at age of 9)!

(while the oldest is too lazy and still let's me doing "comissions").

Another one, inspired by the „Razorcrest“. Haven’t seen the Mandalorian yet when I made this repaint, just pix in the internet...

I have 6 Auzituks (I have my reasons!) and I think I'm going to steal this steel looking paint scheme from you...

That's an honor to me. Colors are leadbelcher for the lighter parts and iron warriors for the darker parts.
