Getting back into painting after long hiatus

[dalarpguy42 16]

So, its been 10+ years since I last painted minis regularly. As a log time fan of order, of course I’m siding with the empire...

Feedback is appreciated, what do you guys think?  Obviously I still need to base them, but they’re table ready otherwise. I’m slow to paint due to back issues, so I’ve only got the AT-ST and one unit of storm troopers.

Very nicely done!  I also have not painted minis for some 15 years until this game came out! 

Only have one squad of Stormtroopers done myself, but two more are close behind.

I'm thinking about painting one of my stormtrooper units as Death Troopers.  Might be easier to paint, too.  90% black might make it easier.

@dalarpguy42 Please tell me you hurt your back in a crazy LARP session. j/k

These look great! Glad to have you back.

Nope.  While I did larp for a long time, never played combat larps.  I just got the bad end of the gene pool.

And thanks.  I'm glad to be back.  Lots to learn over again, and lots of practice required.  I've never been good with flesh painting, though... so I'm not looking forward to painting the rebels.

First pass on Death Troopers. Super easy and look good up close. From a distance, though, they look like they’re primed, and that’s it...

Very nice work. I too am making a squad of Shadow troopers.

I did the same for Imperial Assault by creating a squad of Shadow troopers for each type of trooper but decided to keep/re paint the bases a dark gray to break up the color from the figure to the base.

Very nice, much better than what I've done for the game
