Shatterpoint: This Party’s Over (Mace Windu squad)

Mace Windu is here to shut down the party.

Mace Windu

The shape of the creases in Mace Windu’s cloak did not take well to my standard wash technique.

Commander Ponds

Ponds continues my tradition of using the bare head alternates for secondaries. I’m getting quite a collection of clone helmets in the bit box.

The clones in this whole box turned out more on the gray side than I had intended. But at least it stands out on a white background.

Shatterpoint: Plans and Preparation (Luminara squad)

More lightsabers please.

Jedi Master Luminara Unduli

I love the battle nun look of the Luminara box.

Barriss Offee, Jedi Padawan

I did some spots on Barriss Offe’s cloak, but they’re practically invisible in the final product. Sooner or later I’ll learn to be garish in the first pass so contrasts survive washes.

Like the 501st, I uses washes and chipping to keep the clones from being too white. I also take whatever excuse I can to apply contrast in the details, like the shoulder pads and below the chest plate.

Shatterpoint: General Anakin Squad

And now the final squad from the Shatterpoint starter, General Anakin and his clone friends.

General Anakin

I’ve only cheated with object source lighting. This lightsaber effect is no different. Just a quick drybrush to bring blue into the highlights. It’s not especially realistic, but it’s simple and effective.

Captain Rex

Once again I chose the bare-headed option for the secondaries, to more fully distinguish from the supports.

Some sparingly applied brown washes and sponge chipping white gives these guys a nicely weathered look.
