Republic Department of Artistic Misadventures (The Jabbawookie’s Painting Thread)

[The Jabbawookie 5,613]

Hello and welcome to IDAM RDAM! As a devout Armada player, this is my first time painting anything under 150 meters long. New projects will be added periodically. Advice, critiques, praise and mockery are all appreciated here.

That's actually really similar to the color scheme I'm working on. Looks good!

Do I need to call the ISB?

Surveillance footage from a recon unit. As soon as I get a photosharing account somewhere I can upload our heroic men and women in shining white without eating into my upload quota.

I like it! The color scheme is very classy - those Rebel scum have taste! 

What paints did you use? I'm guessing Stormvermin Fur and Nuln Oil for the legs? What is the blue paint? 

Also, if you're looking for a good photo-hosting service, I'd suggest Pinterest.

Thanks! Caledor Sky is the blue, Administratum Gray for the legs and, as you guessed, a thick coat of Nuln Oil everywhere. Mournfang Brown for rust accents, but they don't really show well in the photo.

I’d just upload to imgur and link the images to here from there.

The lack of Imperials is disturbing...

Necro time.  Clone Wars has drawn me back into the game.

Commander Troy and Sergeant Crux of the 218th Assault Corps.  More to come.

Nice! You got any fluff for them yet? Or just a name?

Primarily an infantry unit, the 218th specialized in planetary invasions and often provided support for armor.  Rather than being assigned to a Jedi general, the unit was instead placed under the command of Major Hurst Romodi and fought with distinction on Jabiim, Shu-Torun and Duro.

As more of a risk-taker than many clone commanders, CC-4408 “Troy” was a perfect match for Romodi’s methodical approach, often getting involved personally when carefully laid plans fell apart.

Awesome! I love hearing the fluff and backstory behind people's armies. I'm a Seppy myself, but a clone battlepack back in the golden age of Hasbro star wars figures, called the Anti Hailfire Squad, was among my favorites aesthetically. They have dark green and light sicky green armor markings and the commander is to this day my favorite action figure I own. I have him on display and everything and I am looking forward to converting one from Rex.
