Grand Army of the Republic

By CT-4661 "Abbi", in Painting

Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. I thought I'd kick things off with some pictures of my brand new Republic Army! I'm going for an early Clone Wars color scheme, where the colored markings on the armor indicate rank, not unit, so to start, here's General Kenobi and a squad of shinies lead by a clone Sergeant with his green markings.

The clones look nice and clean, and I especially like how you managed to get the gold band on Obi-Wan’s lightsaber handle. Looks great.

Looks awesome!

Thanks for the kind words!

I've painted 2 more trooper squads since my original post, but they look basically the same as the first. For something a little different, here's my first BARC Speeder, with the ion gun mounted on the sidecar. I went for a classic red and gray Republic color scheme, though the gray is probably a little dark for that.

Finally got around to my second speeder!

And that completes my two core sets worth of models, so here's the entire Grand Army of the Republic as it currently stands!

I also played these guys to their first victory tonight, so morale is pretty high! Might grab another BARC for the alternative helmets, and really looking forward to getting Rex in a couple of weeks!

Captain Rex is ready to join the fight!

Thanks. I'm having a friend paint my clones for me and I'm providing the paint to do so. I needed to figure out what blue to use.

Got the Phase 1 Upgrade today, but weather prevented me from priming them. I'll post as soon as theyre painted, but the GAR is happy to have some new brothers joining the ranks!

The new boys are here!

Got a squad of Phase 2 Clones painted recently. These boys come from the 688th Legion, which my RPG group made up to serve as the home unit for our Clone Wars campaign.

Finally got around to painting a Saber tank! I got this thing the same day I got the phase 2 clones in my last post, but didnt paint it until earlier this week. The gunner is painted with the same color scheme as my other phase 2s.
