My background before Armada is in hexmaps and cardboard unit markers, not miniatures, and I can honestly say seeing these pictures is the first time ever I wished I could paint something. Those MC80s - both the Home one and the Liberty - is extraordinary, and unlike a lot of beautiful color schemes in Armada, they don't feel out of place at all.

Wow! Thank you so much for such kind words! And in all honesty i think most anyone can pull this off. I'll  make a tutorial for the next one!

Thank you! Yes they are! I have another one primed and ready to go, debating my options... my friend suggested a Fire&Ice duo haha

In Legends, I believe I recall reading that the nodes or "bumps" on larger MC ships were themselves mobile spaceships. I've always wanted to see a version where the nodes don't match the paint scheme of the larger hull, to indicate that they are transplants from another ship. (For example, if the MC80 is blue, perhaps a couple of the nodes could be brown or tan.)

What is the source of that image? Thanks!

One of the many Star Wars: Incredible Cross-Sections books released over the years (for example, Star Wars: Complete Vehicles). Note that Lucasfilm is releasing an updated version, featuring the complete Skywalker Saga, in November of this year.

Not mine but it seems to be somewhat what you had in mind? (Original artist's post:

I like the idea!!

great painting, except it's a bit unhealthy for so many rebel squadrons to be that close to a raider😄

wish I could paint thus

[Kaashifar 218]

Too much?

As written on Reddit- I love the striped ones. Of course, that's more of a personal preference, but they just feel like believable in-world military units, especially imperial ones.

Thank you! Yeah the more colorful ones I wasn't sure about but I figured I'd roll with it. So far I've only scrapped one single squad as completely unsalvageable haha I try to typically roll with it 🤷‍♂️😁 but yeah some ... Interesting things ensue haha

That's the nice thing about acrylic paints: sometimes it takes a bit of try and error to "understand" a model, sometimes "good ideas" have awful results. Worst case this means "into the alcohol vat it goes"
