Steck's rebel scum

By Steck638, in Painting

I've been playing legion since release but have only lately started to finish painting my models. Below are a few of them I selected for pictures, I'll try to get a better photo box set up this weekend and do some group shots and highlight some more WIP models. I'm a big fan of most of the aliens in star wars, having a particular love for the Mon Calamari and Quarren, and I have a few shapeways heads and arms scattered throughout.

It doesn't look quite as shiny in person, but this model is shapeways arms and head on an ion trooper.

I saw the line after taking the pictue, I'm debating cleaning it up and repainting parts of her or not. Probably a discussion for after I have most of my models painted.

And my Quarren squad leader. I still have a couple of things I need to pick out on him, I'm working on batch painting the leather of most of my rebel troopers right now and then I'm going to do a final once over and pick out anything I missed.

I got excited when the 1.4fd turrets dropped and painted one and most of a second really quickly, ignoring most of my models for a couple days. I've got a link to the imgur gallery of the finished one below, just have to finish up troopers and do the crewmen now.

I like the philosophy on just getting the models to the table then coming back later to fix things like the mold line. I’m trying to embrace it myself as I know being perfect holds me back from getting fully painted armies on the board, historically.

Looks like you are off to a good start, keep the pics coming.

Your head swaps look great. You were right about the 3-D printed arms but your work at making them fit and adding an A-280 looks good. I really like your painting of the 1.4D and cant wait to see it finished.

Looking forward to seeing more posts.

So long time no update. I kinda got burnt out on rebels, wasn't able to play for a while, and picked up some Soviets for FoW. But I'm back, and am quickly throwing some paint around for a game later this afternoon.

I'll try and get some better pics probably tomorrow, but I put off painting my hoard of troopers for some new wookies! I'm really happy with how the blended fur is turning out before even adding washes.

And the slowly diminishing hoards of stuff I am not quite done with and put off for wookies.
