The TIE Factory on Lothal has doubled it's efforts....
And the Rebel response....
Group photos on the table...
I'm seriously impressed with anyone that can make the x-wings look amazing. Well done sir.
I can't see any of the pictures...
I just need to find the time to do this.

That’s the hard part. I’m trying to do one or two Squadrons a week. I get extra motivated if I need specific Squadrons for an upcoming game.
The Heavies rolling off the line!

They should load. They are on a public page on Imgur.
Question on the shading in the tiny nooks: I assume you are using some sort of wash or shader? What do you guys suggest?
I painted a Dreadnaught that i got from Mels Miniatures and it had a decent light grey/dark grey like the other various ships but then after the wash it was just a dark mess so before i start any of my fighters, I figured id askQuestion on the shading in the tiny nooks: I assume you are using some sort of wash or shader?

Wow, your squadrons look fantastic! Thanks for the plug and your paint jobs look great.

Those decals really do look great! Where did you get them? I would be really keen on trying the same.
Same here. Although I would like to paint such sharp lines, I have to admit that I'm not on that level (yet).

They are all available on eBay. I can't post a link because FFG may not like it. If you search eBay for "star wars armada decals" you'll find what I have. If you play Legion, I also have decals for the AT-RT and Airspeeder. I'll have decals for the landspeeder as well, Probably summer.

Fantastic! I absolutely will do that. They look fabulous!

I used some watered down Nuln Oil from Citadel Paints. Works great for bringing out details.

Your squadrons looks great! What color blue is this, if I may ask? I have several TIE squadrons on deck and I'm trying to settle on a base coat. Thanks!

Thanks. The paint is "Stormy Sea" by Archive X. They are film model accurate paints.
Vallejo's Luftwaffe Uniform Grey works well, too.

@jme , Wampa is right. Vallejo's Luftwaffe Uniform Grey is the better economical choice and accessible choice. Archive X ships from the UK and is a little more expensive but it's an exact match for the filming models. I used it because I already had it for other Star Wars models. If I hadn't had it already, I probably would have used Vallejo.
Awesome, folks, many thanks.
