Dwarf Spider Droid and Rebel Troopers

 o/

Awwww, isn't it cute?

This is my latest purchase for my Separatist army. I thought it would bring me up for 500 points, but then I remembered that you cannot have 2 commander choices in a skirmish army. Oh well,worst case I can proxy a suad of Rebel troopers as Pyke mercenaries, or just stick with Rebels for now.

Stepping off of the edge...

...or is it stepping into the future?

I like how colorful the base is.

Speaking of Rebels, I finished the last four original troopers. Meaning my army would have been fully painted were it not for the influx of new recruits, gifted to me by RJ. 

These were the Rebel Trooper Upgrades expansion where all four could be built with either support weapons or blaster rifles.

I'm not complaining though. These will be folded into one of the squads that RJ gave me to form a super squad of 10. That will also even out the human-to-alien ratio in said trooper squad.

Making progress.

I've been moving right along on cleaning up & expanding my CIS force. I finished up the first squad of B1s, the blue squad as marked out by the tufts on their bases. 

Rather than Tufts, the specialists have cystals on their bases, whereas the Super Tactical droid's base looks like it is in a space ship or perhaps the under hive.

Wouldn't the binoculars just be hard wired in?

I also painted up a super tactical droid as well as a the four specialist droids: the repair droid (little blue bot), the medical droid (the ugly green one in the back), a recon droid (the mini Imperial Probe droid in OD green), and lastly a T-series command droid (in silver and red). 

Wat Tambor, Foreman of the Techno Union

(and also a model without any rules...)

Also as you can see I painted the Wat Tambor above. I'll likely just use him as a proxy for another T-series command droid. While the T-Series isn't all that stout of a character, neither are political leaders when on the battlefield. 

No, I didn't take these pics on the roof of my wife's white car in the garage. Why do you ask?

I also finished up some...uh...terrain pieces:

 Now those are some serious chicken legs!

I couldn't resist these goofy looking things. I was thinking maybe make them terrain that if you come into base contact with, will make a 1-white die attack and then make an immediate half range run away in the opposite direction. Or something like that. I probably ought to get the rules down before creating terrain with rules, but what can I say? My cart always leads the horse.
