THE END IS NIGH!

 o/

Tufts aside there's not much new to see here.

They are done! All SIXTY B1 Battledroids in my Separatists army are painted, whew! These last two squads are all repaints of 2nd hand minis and have some minor damage (missing a gun barrel tip or antenna here and there), but nothing too terrible. 

About half of this squad are repaints of my original 'blue squad' whose cleaner scheme did not look good next to the rest of the newly painted horde. 

I still need to 'ard coat the backpack lights, but that is the only thing left to do. With such a negligible difference in their final appearance, I just went ahead and took pics.

Why are their tufts black? Must be from the radiation...

Fun fact, the rad gunner was the first B1 painted, as I used it as a test model to see the results of my proposed quick and easy paint scheme. 

The new 'Blues'. 

I had a bucket load of blue tufts, so I decided to make a new blue squad, and sell the old ones on eBay, leaving the 4th black squad as a smaller unit. However, there is a metric ton of tan/beige painted B1s on there already. So instead I scraped off their tufts, considered them 'primed' and inked them along with the other primed models to make the black squad above. 

Roger Roger! I have to say that in every B1 post.

(Am pretty sure that is a written rule somewhere.)

Clearly these are tactically advancing in the other direction, as the expendable B1s are not programmed to retreat out of self-preservation.

The blues have the same support weapon options as the red & purple squads, only the black squad is the odd one out with the rad gun.

All I have left now to do is assemble and paint a pair of Droidekas (no easy task that is) and paint a second squad of B2s. Then I will be ready to post some fully painted army pics.
