Hi All,

This is my first foray into model painting - I painted the stormies first (I later found this to be the worst decision as I assumed white would be the easiest)! I have finished these completely and varnished however I think I may move to a gloss varnish as the satin varnish isn't producing enough of a shine I feel for a true stormtrooper armour.

I've just started my rebels and I'm going with a tatooine theme, some will be a light colour scheme whilst others are darker, let me know what you think and what improvements I can make. Currently I have base coloured the first theme (battlefront inspired) - no highlights/shades or finishing touches yet, however I am deep in though about which shades would look best for this theme.

Your miniatures look great. Many of us have made the conclusion that starting with Stormtroopers is a no-brainer. ?

I too prefer a shiny Stormtrooper but also a little variety. Don't be afraid to add some detail to make a squad or two stand out.

Your basing is solid and I look forrward to more posts.

Thankyou C3P0FETT! I think I will gloss all the stormies but around the areas of weathering/Staining I will do a light satin to dim it a bit.

I have done another base for a new squad and not sure if I've made a mistake! I was thinking that the rebel scum are a rag-tag group so colours shouldn't be organised.....However now I'm thinking for aesthetics and the look on the tables I should have kept the colours closer. What do you guys think?

There is still no highlight or shade, just base colouring for now.
