Into the Woods: Painting Endor’s Tempest Force

There is something iconic about the way the pristine white of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps clashes against the deep greens and browns of a forest moon. For my latest project, I’ve been working through a Tempest Force themed army, and I really wanted to capture that feeling of a long-term occupation where the environment has started to leave its mark on the gear.   The standard squads were essential to the project, as they provide that visual baseline for the entire Tempest Force. To differentiate the units on the tabletop, I incorporated subtle squad…

Under the Radar: Reimagining the PanOceanian RedEye

There’s something about the standard RedEye silhouette that always felt a bit top-heavy to me. As a faction defined by its cutting-edge technology and sleek designs, I wanted my latest addition to the drone fleet to look a bit more streamlined and unique. The primary goal of this modification was to move the main sensor suite. In the stock kit, the optics sit prominently on top. By flipping the assembly to the underbelly, the drone gains a much sleeker top-down profile, making it look like it’s actually hunting its targets from the skies above. Moving …

Haqqislamite armoured regiment

Last year I was fortunate to receive some support from Corvus Belli to do some videos regarding the new vehicles. I was playing some Qapu Khalqi at the time and was usually proxying my haqqislamite flyer with a panoceanian RedEye. Corvus Belli was kind enough to provide me a Zeybek Aerounit and I got fast into work to make sure it got ready to hit the table in style. I used my basic Qapu scheme of green, bone and a touch of dark red. The look resulted very militaristic and I was in doubt about doing its wings in blue or orange. In the end orange looked …

Tempest arrives

After AMG dropped the ball on shatterpoint last month my local community has seen a resurgence of interest in SW Legion. Several of the old players seem to be coming to the game again and we decided to give the new edition a try. I already own a significant CIS force, but I've always been interested in having an empire army. Recently one local distributor made a massive sale of 1.0 material and I managed to get my hands on a very solid amount of imperial units for a few bucks. One of the most discounted units were the AT-STs so I thought it would be…

Imperial Tag Police

Last year I participated in a promotion campaign for Corvus Belli, for the launch of the new Imperial Service Sectorial for Yujing. This new army focuses on a faction of policemen of the empire controlling dissenters and investigating insurrection in the ranks. When they came, CB sent me their TAG as model to show to my viewers but I didn't have the rest of the army, so I grabbed some old models for the faction that were going out of print and could get my hands on for some small cash.  The Celestial Guard were my test models to get the color sche…
