Howdy!

In anticipation for the upcoming release of the Clone Wars era game, I've been dabbling a bit on the 3D modeling side of things to make a bit of a homebrew of a new faction (well, started with GAR and CIS, then went on to the Naboo)

The Naboo Security Forces of the Phantom Menace is one of the few factions that has seen big screen action, and is sufficiently fleshed out lore-wise, so it is fitting to have them get the spotlight for a change. The composition of the NSF also works well in a skirmish game setting.

Now for some pictures (but remember, one of the first forays into painting minis so C&C more than welcome):

Two Security Guard Squads and one Palace Guard Squad

First Squad of Naboo Security Guards

Second Squad of Naboo Security Guards

Royal Palace Guard

Seraph Land-Speeder with Pilot and gunner

Gian Speeder WIP

Droideka WIP

Clone Phase 1

Clone Phase 2 leader

B-2 battle droid

Pile o' WIPS

Crappy Camera, Focus is not what it should be.( And they look better in real life, I promise 😅 )

Oh and they don't stand up to your sculpts as they are chunky 3d printed ones, but works for me (until I manage to get my sweaty paws on one of those fancy resin printers, then you'll see...)

As you can see, bunch of stuff going on.

BUT!

Nothing yet done stat-wise on game mechanics, AKA no special Unit cards and such done yet, as I don't own Legion (Waiting for the clone wars, or if there's a sale I'll inevitably splurge out the cash for it now..) I have a bit of a problem to proxy them into a game ATM.

As I get dice and movement tools printed and get to proxy some cards, I'll start making some custom cards for these as well.

If Interested to check out my whole collection of stuff at Thingiverse ( Like the AAC-1 for NSF, or At-TE and AAT and STAP and and and..):

Simplest colorscheme and model to paint, so even I could make something half decent of it 😁

Hello Guys and Gals!

Holidays sure are nice, you get a lot of work done. Made some new units, got most of it printed and painted.

Unfortunately my 3-D printers nozzle and Bowden-tube are goners, so no more printing for a while while I wait for my replacements...

BUT!

Pictures Crappy ones (or paintjob , guessing the later) but should be better than the earlier. Still working on my Game-mat so now cool pictures until then

N ew Unit of Naboo soldiers done

New blaster-trooper Security Guard

Missile-launchers!

Got a lot of Terrain done too!

Big Barricade

Smaller Barricade

Legion Barricade

Showcase of some more barricades and smaller stuff

Opinions more than welcome

Cheers!

Hello Again!

Minor update,

Good news: finally started to base my miniatures.

Less well news: Running out of bases as my parts have yet to arrive for the printer.

Best news: Pictures

First squad and second squad

Missile launcher trooper

Kind of murky basing theme, as my battle-mat I'm making is also going to have a swampy/muddy color. kinda swamps of naboo/gungan forest theme.

Maybe some gungans lurking in the swamps? You never know

As always, Any feedback welcome

Hey man, good work. Making things is hard and I couldn’t begin to do this, so congratulations on your hard work.

I think for the most part your painting is as good as the models allow. There isn’t a lot of detail to highlight on most of them, but you might want to add some lightened colors to the edges. Otherwise the paint you are using is SUPER matte and it comes across as very flat. I have a feeling this is either because of, or a compensation for the bumpiness of the 3D print so there may not be much you can do.

The destroyer droid is definitely a highlight and I think the clone troopers and other droids are nice too. The poses tend to come across as either very static or a little wonky. I imagine this is difficult as miniature poses tend to be exaggerated to make up for the fact that they are static.

Anyway, good work.

Thanks a bunch for your thoughts, appreciate your pointers

As for the poses, I'm got no clue in modelling (Almost got a fail in arts class in school..) so yes, you are totally right int the posing department

And for the colors, I've now done a bit of highlighting, but still the lack of detail really makes it hard to get anything nice going. ( well, I like to think they are what people would call tabletop ready...) I mean, they haven't even got faces really, just eye pits 😂

Cheers!
