The Empire is taking hold...

o/

I have only the best backdrops for The Empire...

I painted this squad up this week and am fairly pleased with them. I  didn't like the rocket launcher, so converted that guy to have the left over RT-97C from the Dewback I used to have. 

He looked good...until paint was added.

However after the application of contrast paint & sepia wash, he was looking pretty rough in the areas that got chopped. As such I used him for a guinea pig for my usual slathering of AK streaking grime and he ended up looking worse than a remnant trooper from the Mandalorian series. So he isn't included in the squad above. I have another type of AK Grime that I have yet to try, so his base will be the test subject for that. 

The photo is straight from the eBay auction!

I picked up these two Speeder Bikes off of eBay for a bargain and they're nice enough that I'll leave them as is for the foreseeable future. I may hit them with a light sepia wash to blend them in with the squad above at some point, but can't see myself doing anymore than that.
