Those Star Wars Legion minis are excellent! Love the General Grievous, and how your new green battle droid is going.

Beautiful skinks! Love the purple skirmishers as well!

 

Thank you!
The SWL minis are great. Faithful recreations without going overboard on unnecessary details.

Got to love purple!

 

Finally finished of my 2 units of B2 Super Battle Droids. Really happy with how they turned out. I'll be avoiding silver highlights for a while though haha.

 

MAN! These are amazing! Totally jealous! I need to keep working at my painting skills!

 

Thank you!

I'll watch your career with great interest

 

Wow they look gorgious!!!
The battle wearing is marvelous and the yellow and red accents show a nice distinction of the squads.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thank you! I'm really pleased with how the damage looks on these droids.
Originally I wanted to avoid unit markings for my Star Wars models to preserve the overall look. However the practicality of being able to tell them apart eventually won out haha.

 

I love that color scheme! That green is beautiful

 

Thank you! It's the Ork Flesh contrast paint thinned 2:1 with contrast medium, over a midtone silver. I also underpainted the shadows with Nuln Oil and did rough highlights with Stormhost Silver before the contrast paint went on. Then did edge highlights with silver afterwards.

 

Excellent droids, and thanks for the paint scheme I like that green a lot.

 

Thanks mate
I hope you can put it to good use

 

Finished off my 3rd unit of B1s today.



I have another 2 units of these that are nearly done. They just need basing and varnishing. Unfortunately my hobby time for the next few days is going to be severely limited so it might be a little while until they are done.

 

Roger roger! These look great. Do you create your own basing stuff? Or buy it from somewhere?

 

Thank you

The ground texture is Vallejo's Brown Thick Mud product, washed with Agrax Earthshade then dry brushed in various browns and greens. The tufts are Gamers Grass Alien Turquoise tufts. For the plants I use GWs Barbed Bracken, trimmings from generic aquarium plants and some small seed pods all painted up. There's also various bits of lichen and clump foliage from Serious-Play.
The water is Realistic Water from Woodland Scenics.

Since getting back into the hobby I've slowly accumulated a lot of basing products haha.

 

Those look good! I can hear the roger roger from here.

That's the way to do it. The more variety you have at your disposal the better.

 

Amazing work on those.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

4th squad of B1s

 

5th and final (for now) unit of B1s is done too.


With these done, all of my corps units for my Separatists are complete. Feels good to have the bulk of the force complete. Should probably paint up some more clones now haha.

 

Wow. They look so good, impressive army

Grrr, Imrahil
