Let’s get back to the original trilogy!
I’m continuing with the quick and dirty drybrush OSL method. It’s a bit overdone, but it gives a strong energy to the lightsabers, which I really like.
Bar2-D2 is the real star of the show.
And of course, Boushh. Seen here in with a thermal detonator ready to go.
Now we’re talking. Some original trilogy baddies.
Darth Vader is where it’s at. I don’t love his billowing cloak. I considered converting it, but decided not to. The silhouette is important for my opponent to understand which version of Vader I’m playing. Also I’m lazy, and not sure I could do it well.
Mr Sergeant, the first unnamed Secondary.
And some stormtroopers to round it out.
Good squads come in pairs. This one of the second half of the ewoks.
Since all the ewok characters look kind of similar, I tried to keep them as close to the box art as I could.
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.
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.
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.
There are two arms in the kit. But why woudn’t you choose lightning when lightning is on offer?
Keep your head on straight, Jango
And of course, the Magnaguard. Super tanky and annoying.
