AHPC Studios has provided great impetus to revisit my stop-start Star Wars project. Most of my Imperials were painted a couple of years back, but I've a suitably motley collection of Rebels that I hadn’t got round to. For the SciFi Studio, here's a squad of them ready to fight for freedom and democracy and all that good stuff.
These are one of the original Rebel squads from the Legion Core set, done in forest camo and basing. I aimed for a slightly rag-tag look, I’m thinking I’ll do a second squad probably in brownish camo, similar colours to oak leaf and mix them up.
I was pleased with how the blue-skinned duros came out, I went over his skin a few times before I was content, working from purple shadows, through blue. There's quite a bit of stippled texture to his bald head, that doesn't really come out in the photo.
Also the Rebel he's with got his screen accurate white beard, apparently that’s obscure named character 'Nik Sant'.
They are joined by an Astromech droid. This was going to be a future Studio but I decided to do something else instead. This is a 3D Print, I don't recall the source, probably Thingiverse. The off-white on black played merry hell with the photos.
Seven 35mm infantry at 7 Points each = 49
The Astromech is a bit diddy, so say 5 points for it
20 Points for SciFi Studio
For a total of 74 Points, a third studio and my second squirrel.
Nice to see Star Wars stuff that isn't just white and black. Great job on this squad
More splendid looking star wars figures!

DeleteGreat looking squad of Rebels, Phil. I like the grey, grizzled squaddie.
ReplyDeleteThere’s a fan theory retcon that it’s actually megafavourite Clone Captain Rex who survived to the Rebellion.
DeleteGood stuff, nice grim looking crew
ReplyDeleteCheers Peter! Not sure I was going for grim here
DeleteI like how these are painted. Never can have enough Rebel Trooprs.
ReplyDeleteYep, I should start the other three squads when I’m not faffing with other things.
DeleteSuperb Rebels, nice work!
ReplyDeleteCheers Dallas!
DeleteThese are great. This year's theme seems to be Star wars, which is not a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteYep, nothing to do with the 7 points a piece they’re worth I’m sure!
DeleteGood looking Rebels you have there!
ReplyDeleteNeed to paint some more now don’t I Millsy?
DeleteLoving those rebels
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI do like these commandos!
ReplyDeleteCheers Barks!
DeleteVery nice work, Phil!
ReplyDeleteCheers, very kind of you to say
DeleteNice work, Phil! I love the camouflage! Legion is probably my favorite mini game never played....I think it plays into my star wars action figure collecting fetish! 😉
ReplyDeleteYou should! You’ll still finish an army before I will :-)
