G'day everyone!
It's great to be back on the Challenge tools again for my 13th time around. Really looking forward to seeing all the cool and cooky stuff people share once again. This year I am kicking off with a bunch of relatively simple stuff - a bunch of stuff for Star Wars Legion.
Rebel AT-ST
I already have one of these but it's such a cool model and performs so well in games I had to have a second one. Easy to assemble and fun to paint. What's not to like?

Rebel 7-47 Airspeeder
I've always wanted one of these and when I found one for $10 on fleaBay it was a total no-brainer. It needed some TLC and I have to 3D print my own base but that's a small price to pay, and given I wanted a much shorter flying stand it worked out better that way anyway.
Masking the red markings was pretty satisfying and a breeze by comparison to painting the windows in. I spent a fair bit of time colour modulating the panels with careful dry brushing and then weathered most of it over with dirt and scratches but it was fun and at least I know its there :-P.
Two 32mm vehicles and one rider = 25 45 points. A small start but a fun one. Thanks for looking!
Cheers,
Millsy

Welcome back to the Challenge, Millsy! Thirteen editions?! Wow, a true veteran of the Psychic (or is that psychotic?) Wars!
The Star Wars universe excels in featuring vehicles that make you wonder why they were even made, but they look so cool that no one really wants to wreck it with logic. Both the walker and the airspeeder are terrific. Wonderfully battered yet perfectly serviceable, ready to take their places in the fight against the Empire. Great recovery work on the airspeeder (look at those freakin' cool windows!). I smile at the pilot (driver?) of the walker as he has his laser rifle prepared, probably fully expecting the slung cannon to pop out a 'BANG!' flag instead of the satisfying 'PEW! PEW!' Wonderful stuff.
You cheated yourself on some points but I got you covered. Well done, Millsy!

Some nice looking Rebel Scum!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking vehicles. Star Wars has never really been my thing, but the designs do look very cool. The weathering you've added really brings the speeder to life.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff mate - good to see you get 'off the mark' for another innings!
ReplyDeleteGo and sit on this precariously high perch. Oh and it moves, jerkily. Great stuff
ReplyDeleteExcellent rebel equipment. Both weather extremely well.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work on these. It's nice to see some other Legion stuff in the challenge, and my faction too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Millsy, great looking Star Wars kit 👍
ReplyDeleteFantastic weathering on that speeder!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking kit Millsy. Great to see you back.
ReplyDeleteNice work Millsy
ReplyDeleteParticularly enjoy the landspeeder, a classic vehicle from a classic scene in a classic movie!
ReplyDeleteCracking start - lovely job matey
ReplyDeleteFantastic brushwork Millsy, and the recovery effort on the speeder was so worth it! It looks excellent.
ReplyDeleteAlso really like how the front "plate" of the walker is a flat grey colour...gives a good vibe to the scratch-what-we-can aspect of the rebellion's equipment!
These look great!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant brushwork, Millsy!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant weathering on the air speeder Millsy and you're right - love the walker
ReplyDeleteThey look brilliant love the way you've painted them, hop to see a bunch more of the Starwars minis my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou really captured the Star Wars beat up look on these. Great work!
ReplyDeleteTop work Millsy, they will look great in your next game.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely weathered and based.
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed! The weathering worked a charm.
ReplyDeleteLooking great, even for Rebels! And after all, you do need some baddies, right?
ReplyDeleteVery tidy work there!
ReplyDeleteLove the speeder!
ReplyDeleteNice work, Millsy! The speeder looks great with the weathering and markings, but I really like the walker as you really made it look like something repaired from scavenged parts and held together with baling wire and duct tape! very nice work!
ReplyDeleteMillsy the weathering on these is brilliant.
