  Miniatures pt108 – Not Imperial Troopers 

  I got some GZG Brethren of New Light miniatures that seem to be a really good fit for Star Wars themed Imperial Troopers.

  In expanded universe/legends they’re supposed to have a gray uniform. In Solo, they also have a gray uniform but they’re “mud troopers”. I decided to go with the uniforms as presented in Andor. They’re an olive drab, with charcoal helmets.

  To achieve this I used Olive Green Deep, desaturated and glazed with Zinc White. For the helmets, gloves and boots I used Paynes Gray. Guns are Paynes Gray with Graphite metallic on top.

  Miniatures pt107 – Not Rebels Troopers 

  More Star Wars themed miniatures. These are Rebel Troopers using miniatures from GZG Islamic Federation range.

  I didn’t do any sculpting this time around, but I did freehand the dark glass shape on the front of the white helmet. I also freehanded the reflection on the visors.

  For the colour scheme I went with white helmets (Titanium white followed by Zinc white), Paynes Gray for the blast vests, boots and gun undercoats. Graphite for guns, and did mixtures for the uniforms. I used Dungeon Highlights (light gray) mixed with turquoise for the shirts and Dungeon base (dark gray) mixed with zinc white for the pants.

  Miniatures pt104 – Hammer Slammers 

  Went back into painting this week, and finished ten of Hammer Slammers infantry from GZG in the paint scheme of Star Wars Rebel pilots.

  Vermillion uniforms, Warm grey armor, Paynes grey belts and boots, and graphite metallic weapons.

  Miniatures pt99 – Free Trader Crew and Ravagers 

  I recently got my shipment from Ground Zero Games. I was curious as to how they scaled in 15mm and it seems that they are in the larger end of 15mm, aka heroic 15mm, 1:100 or 18mm. Which is great, as they’ll fit right in with my Alternative Armies Ion Age and HOF range miniatures. The sculpts are nice and crisp. So to start with, I painted a pack of Free Trader Crew and half a pack (only one pose of each) of Ravagers (Generic Space Pirates/Ravagers/Bad Guys).

  I went with an earth and cool colour palette. Black or Brown coats and boots, blue jeans and overalls and green trousers. I desaturated the blue and greens by mixing some warm gray. I also painted some white shirts but the soft tone wash muddied them up a lot.

  I also went a bit overboard on the bases. Big brown sand spots, rocks and fine sand overall with spots of brown grass. It was more work than usual but I like how they look.
