I wanted to paint up my third B1 Battle Droid squad, and also paint three squads of Rebel Alliance Troopers, and at least get a good start on the AT-RT for them as well.
But life gets in the way, as usual, but crap happens, lol.
But I did get some stuff accomplished as you can see from the picture below.
I have all three squads of Rebel Alliance Troopers assembled and the base covered in my ground material. I also have the AT-RT assembles as well, and the same goes for its base. Luke has been painted for a long time now, as is Darth Vader from the original starter box set. I have not completed Luke's base yet, as I plan on passing them all together when I finish painting them. The T-47 Air Speeder as you can see is still new in the box. And I'm not entirely sure I will be finishing the Air Speeder as I am considering just making it a terrain piece, as I'm not convinced that it's a viable unit in the game at the moment.
So, I just wanted to do an update post, as to what is happening in my Hobby World and will try to get some of these painted this week.
So until next time, have fun with your hobby, smile, and enjoy life.
In the picture of the Rebel Alliance Troopers, the AT-RT is the robotic thing in the back that has a rider on it, right? In the movies (which I haven't looked at in many, many years) there were some HUGE walkers -- if I remember correctly they had 4-legs. What were/are they called?
ReplyDeleteDo your table-top miniatures games have those huge 4-legged walkers in them, or are they too big for a table-top game?
If you make a terrain piece with the T-47 Air Speeder perhaps you can make it look like it crashed into the ground and use extra model pieces to put a pilot/crew bodies on the ground by it -- sort of a miniature diorama?
Might consider trying to do it in a way that would let you take it back out of the terrain piece, so you can use it as a piece in a game at a later date, if you change your mind. If you make it look crashed/broken and glue it into the terrain setting, then it's gone for good -- but I don't know how you'd go about making it into a terrain piece that can be converted back into a game-piece later. But it's an idea that might be worth looking into.
