Keeping with my new found momentum, I thought I'd post my latest progress with my Imperial Assault painting project. I most recently finished up Agent Blaise as part of my Rogue Stars mercenary crew...and so I thought I'd try my hand at more Stormtroopers.
I took a few from the core box and also one or two from the Stormtroopers Villains Pack and have a mixed pose section of troops. I like the poses that are currently available...and I'm sure as any gamer/painter, it would really be great to see a few more, but hey, it could always be worse.
My intent is to have these figures painted up for Imperial Assault, and then to also organize them into some section/squad based organization...so along the way, I ended up deciding on a basing scheme and went back and repainted the base for Kayn Somos...the first batch of Stromies will follow this basing...and then in the future when I've completed more of the core set, I will buy the expansion box that has the Heavy Troopers and split them amongst 2 sections...and for easing my brain, I plan on having a different basing scheme for each squad...
Of course, in the future I could definitely see spinning these figures into a Tomorrows War or Rogue Stars setting.
So with that, here are the pics.
Cheers.
The first section...you can see leader Kayn Somos on the left, base painted up using Vallejo's Desert Yellow as the base undercoat and then using Citadel's Agrellan Earth on the top to get the mudflat look...in my head it gives me the impression of being on Tattooine...you know, pretty much the ass end of the universe.
Trying a different angle and a flash...random piece of terrain in the background that I'm working on...
Attempt without a flash...getting used to my phone's camera...
Overhead shot of the different poses...some blaster damage on the helmet...

Nice work! I like the blaster damage and the scenery as well
Thanks Barks. I got the blaster damage idea from Sorastro and his youtube videos. I'm pretty happy with the end results.
Those look really good.
Thanks Duncan
