Painting figures for Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars Imperial Assault

(from left: BT-1, Hera and Chopper)

Recently, I was asked by a friend to paint some figures for the Star Wars Imperial Assault game by Fantasy Flight. He saw some of the figures I had painted for myself, and he liked them.

I agreed, and I finished them yesterday. So here they are, my first commissioned figures ever. Hopefully there will be more to come because (a) I enjoy the work, and (b) I can always use a little extra money.

The figures he asked to paint are all individual characters, two droids and a Twilek pilot. If you're at all familiar with the Star Wars Rebels animated series, you'll recognize Hera and C1-10P (Chopper).

My friend provided me with picture references of how he wanted them painted. BT-1 and Chopper were pretty straightforward, just like they appear in the comics and animated series. For Hera, he wanted something a bit different. He wanted her flight suit to be in more muted tones, and her skin to be a pale blue with subtle green markings.

Overall, I am very pleased with how they came out (and I hope my friend is as well). These figures are intended for gaming, not for display. They look better in real life than they do in the photos, as extreme close ups bring out every flaw and brushstroke.

I'll share some more pictures of my work in future posts, hopefully some more paid figures. :)

'Til next time!
