More of my Imperial Assault toys:
An All-Terrain Defense Pod. The AT-DP is the taller, even gawkier cousin of the AT-ST. I don't like painting vehicles, but this one was fairly easy to do.
Imperial Sentry Droids: these sculpts have a tendency to twist and lean at the waist. They were painted with a black wash over a medium grey, then the panels were re-done in light grey. Similar process to my stormtroopers, but I didn't take as much time over them. The eyes were just a splash of red, nothing special.
Finally, some Clawdite Shapeshifters. These are based on the forgettable bounty hunter Zam Wessell from the execrable Episode II. I didn't feel the love, so these were a basecoat and a wash. I did enjoy the alien face and big eyes with vertical pupils, which was easy to paint.
8x 28mm figures 40 points
1x 28mm walker 15 points

OMG!
I just love that AT-DP Walker, it looks superb! It almost looks real the way you've painted it. Stupid question, I know its a 28mm figure but just how tall is the walker?
Love the colours used on Zam Wessell, I don't remember her from the films though? Bet shw didn't last long?
Superb brushwork all round my good man. I shall award thee 40 points for your 8 28mm figures and like you said 15 for the walker. But in a fit of extravagance I'll honour you with another 5 for that Walker!

Nice work Barks :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tamsin!
DeleteLove the sentry droids, the grey works brilliantly
ReplyDeleteCheers, Martin! I have a grudging like for them.
DeleteNiice! Love the AT-DP and the sentry droids are very cool. Zam Wessell is decidedly not cool (sadly, like many things from E I-III) but the paintjobs are great.
ReplyDeleteYou’re too kind, Curt- to be honest, she won’t see the table very often...
DeleteGreat work Barks - seeing all the nicely painted Star Wars figures in this challenge is helping to compensate for the nausea caused by the endless and stupid Star Wars-themed commercials that have drained my enjoyment of the setting...
ReplyDeleteThis is why we refuse to have a TV in the house. They are an insult to free thought and turn brains into paste. In many respects the Luddites weren't that far off the mark.
DeleteI can see things getting a bit Peak-SW.
DeleteNice work!

Thanks, Christopher!
DeleteNice work Barks. The walkers have to be about the dumbest thing ever designed, but yours is beautifully painted.
ReplyDeleteEveryone likes a sci-fi walker!
DeleteGreat work, Barks!! Whatever the Clawdite Shapeshifters are, they look terrific, and the walkers look great as well. You've mastered that wonderful purple on the Shapeshifters (a really tricky colour).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sidney! She’s merely a few shades of brown and Vallejo Red-Purple with an Army Painter Purple Tone wash, no highlights.
DeleteExcellent work on that walker.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Lee!
DeleteA nice bunch of Star Wars Goodies
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adam- more next week!
DeleteExcellent painting star wars always looks so cool
ReplyDeleteThanks, Galpy!
DeleteThanks for the bonus points, Ray- since you asked, the walker is a hair short of 6”.
ReplyDeleteThat walker is awesome! Great paint work. Those shapeshifters look ace, but having wiped EpI-III from my mind I have no idea about her being on the big screen!
ReplyDeleteYou’re not missing anything... I’m happy being amnesic
DeleteGreat work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, James!
DeleteCracking job
ReplyDeleteCheers, Dave!
DeleteGreat looking walker, I have no memory of the shapeshifters whatsoever but you've done a nice job on them, the sentries are ace!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you, Iain!
DeleteLovely stuff Barks!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phyllion!
DeleteThat’s some seriously cool stuff! Love the walker especially. Not so keen on the ‚clones‘ in Imperial Assault, but your painting is beyond doubt.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Moiterei!
ReplyDeleteLove me all, Barks! Even the Zam Wessel entourage that might've made a better fight in episode 2. Honestly I just tuned out those movies till lights sabers were drawn and clone troopers charged! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dave! I’m really not a fan, as you may be able to tell...
DeleteReally nice stuff. Great to see Star Wars stuff like this. Cheers
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kiwi- more this week!
