From Barks: A Star Wars big bonus beast (35 points)

We interrupt our Star Wars spaceships with this massive rancor. I got her last week, and couldn't resist painting her straight away. I think she's the best miniature FFG has ever done. She's bloody huge, over 10cm tall.


I also painted Luke for a sense of scale- I used Vallejo Yellow Green on the saber blending as it has a fluorescent quality.

Alan and Paul: That rancor is awesome! what a beast. You really have the Star Wars bug this year, Barks. I'm guessing you liked Rogue One? I've scored the beast as a 54 mm vehicle, so that's another 35 points for you.

    Excellent work! That beast is really ugly, just like in the movie.

    Awesome! That Rancor looks great, and Luke is no slouch either. Like the OSL from the lightsaber. Nice work!

    Awesome work Barks! I like the cragginess of the Rancor and Luke's lightsabre OSL is terrific.

    Two terrific miniatures, the glow effect from Luke's lightsaber is really well done! Now I've got the itch to buy a few more expansion packs for Imperial Assault!

    Awesome, you truly are one with the Force! I can't decide what I like best: the textures on the Rancor or the effects on the light sabre. Brilliant!
