Painting Table – Imperial Assault – Dark Vader Part 3 – Final Touches
Final steps on my Darth Vader miniature included a coat of Citadel Purity Seal, followed by re-application of glossy ‘Ard Coat, notably on the light saber. I also rebased Darth Vader, adding a little grimdark skull to go with it (if anyone deserves a skull to his feet, it is Darth Vader). Ready for action!… — read more

Painting Table – Imperial Assault – Dark Vader Part 2 – Light Saber
The next step in painting my Imperial Assault Darth Vader was the light saber. Step 1 – Red Undercoat I started with two layers of red over the white base coat of the light saber blade.

Painting Table – Imperial Assault – AT-ST Part 2 – Magnets
After the initial salt weathering on the AT-ST, I went to work on the details. The weapons were painted with Army Painter black, followed by a think “wet-brush” of chain mail metal and, after drying, a wash of Nuln Oil. The entire miniature got a good wash of Nuln Oil. After the wash had dried,… — read more

Painting Table – Imperial Assault – AT-ST Part 1 – Salt Weathering
After finishing the Trandoshan Hunters, I wanted to get started on the AT-ST from the Imperial Assault Game. While I aim for a traditional grey look for the Imperial walker, I decided to try out a weathering technique I have never tried before: Salt Weathering. The idea is the use salt (of the more coarse… — read more

Painting Table – Imperial Assault E-Web Engineer Conversion
I am making some progress with painting up my box of Imperial Assault. While some of the miniatures, like the Nexu, are wonderful, others are less thrilling. One miniature I found a bit disappointing was the Stormtrooper E-Web Engineer. The soft plastic used by Fantasy Flight Games seems less suitable to long, sharp forms such as weapon… — read more

Painting Table – Imperial Assault Nexu Completed
After painting the Nexu for Imperial Assault, I decided to rebase the miniature (or all my Imperial Assault miniatures), as I am not a fan of the supplied flat bases. Specifically, I used Games Workshop’s Citadel 50mm round bases, identical in size to the Nexu-bases from the Imperial Assault box, and made simple, unobstrusive grey… — read more

Painting Table – Imperial Assault Nexu
I managed to do a bit more painting for Imperial Assault, specifically the Nexu, which is such an awesome little model. I certainly didn’t remember the Nexu from the movies (It is in the arena in Attack of the Clones, but I suppose I remember little from that movie at all). However, painting the miniature,… — read more
