This is an important step in any project. The day you finish... the core of it. No, I'm not going to say 'the day you finish the project'. That doesn't exist, for goodness sake! But today I can say I've finished the Imperial Assault core game. Weee!
The only minis I had left were the Stormtroopers. I've left them for the end on purpose, as I really dreaded the perspective of having nine absolutely identical minis and not having a clue of how to make them different. For me, the most logical solution was... buying more Stromtroopers :P
I considered purchasing some bendy WotC minis, in order to have some different poses which I could combine with what I had. But I finally opted for the own Imperial Assault expansion pack. Three identical Stormtroopers, but different from the other nine.

Three like the left guy, nine like the right one. Yikes |
OK, at least I had two different models. Then I just needed my blade and the rest would
easily become multi component minis! I left the two from the pic above untouched and begun to combine poses, arms, head repositionings, etc. on all the others...

Not easy to work with that pose, you know |
|
The pointing finger was the hardest part here |
|
Looking for droids |
Here you have all of them, including the one I already had:
|
Truly Imperial entanglements |
So here we are. The full core game finished, plus some extra minis. I guess it's time for the mandatory family pic:
|
This is it. I haven't taken the card pieces out of the box yet... |
I have some WotC and Knightmodels minis that will also be part of this project. But first things first. All the necessary minis are already painted... This demands a game!!
(Hopefully) quite soon!
Excellent conversions!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't stand havig identical minis, this was necessary! :D
DeleteExcellent group! Very nice conversions, they have turned out well. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Not easy, as I really had just two poses to work with, but apparently they work!
DeleteGreat conversions and a nice and clean paintjob. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You can see the paintjob is really simple, I tried to be most efficient here about the time/results!
DeleteThose are very well done: bravo!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The beginning of my Legion, hmmm....
DeleteGreat looking troopers! Big bravo!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I still may get some Wizards of the Coast cheap minis to make more combinations...
DeleteAwesome job they look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you! They are quite iconic, almost everything work on them, so I'm happy with just this :)
DeleteConversions are impressive, and they look good together. It is very nice to get to that point and think, 'Ooh, now I can get a game in!'
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's quite rewarding, right! I hope I'll post an AAR in a few days ;)
DeleteProjects never ever finish. You just add new ones. ^_^
ReplyDeleteAnd as for the StormTroopers ... way cool. Nice nice work! :)
Haha, that's so right! Thank you!
