Shatterpoint: Ee Chee Wa Maa! (Leia/Chirpa Endor squad)

Good squads come in pairs. This one of the second half of the ewoks.

Chief Chirpa

Since all the ewok characters look kind of similar, I tried to keep them as close to the box art as I could.

Leia Organa, Freedom Fighter

The non-ewok model in this box is Leia, an alternate primary. She bridges the gap between ewoks and rebels. There’s a bare-headed option, which I usually pick for primary and secondaries. But I really don’t like the sculpt. So she gets a helmet.

Paploo

Another ewok character with a raised staff. This time with dark brown fur.

And another set of repeated secondaries. I rotated the paint colors to hide it a bit. If I were less lazy maybe I would have done some conversion.

Shatterpoint: Twice the Pride (Count Dooku squad)

Dooku was one of the initial squad pack releases, so arguably formed a core of the Separatists. But I wasn’t playing the game yet, and it wasn’t new and shiny any more. With the drought of new Shatterpoint models around the new year, I finally caught up.

Count Dooku

There are two arms in the kit. But why woudn’t you choose lightning when lightning is on offer?

Jango Fett

Keep your head on straight, Jango

And of course, the Magnaguard. Super tanky and annoying.

Shatterpoint: Core Set Terrain

No miniatures game is complete without terrain. Shatterpoint has its particular flavor, with lots of gantries between buildings.

The gantries are quite nice, as they have a few subtle pegs that help keep them together.

I dirtied them up with oil washes, which make for nice streaks. To add some extra spice, I added graffiti decals and propaganda posters from a variety of scifi franchises. The posters are just printed out on regular paper, glued on, and then smudged with foam swabs with oil paints leftover from the cleaning up the oil wash.

My hope is that these can work for Shatterpoint, but wouldn’t be out of place in any other scifi or even near-modern game.
