Ok, their story goes like this.
Rebels episode 12-13:
In the year 2 BBY the crew of the Ghost is sent to find Saw and his group who have gone missing. The Emperor knowing of Saw's whereabouts reroutes an elite unit of scout troopers from their mission on Kashyyyk where they had modified their armor by painting it to blend with the local flora, to Geonosis to make sure that the Partisan group was killed by Klick-Klak. They having no time to restyle their armor content themselves with dirtying it up with sand, some a lil more than others.
During the Ghost crews confrontation with Klick-Klak they are almost discovered, having strict orders to remain in hiding lest unwanted attention be drawn to Geonosis they make a hasty retreat, by the time they ventured out from their concealment their quarry had escaped. Rather then face the inevitable humiliation and execution upon return, they each chose to commit suicide. "long live the Empire!...Pewpew"....
I felt that the red markings would go well with the blue theam, so... How's it look?

Nice!!!
The Emperor5/11 at 20:12
feel free to critique as well, don't just want the fluff, I want the tips, "should of's and whatever else y'all want to throw my way.

The stormtrooper is cool
Fallenangel7005/12 at 7:30
Maybe it's just the strong lighting, but it looks like your didn't shade. Putting some black/dark blue shade in the recesses of the skin would be worth considering.
Fallenangel7005/12 at 7:31
you*

The detail of the blood dripping from the dewback’s mouth is small, but great!
socksa5/13 at 0:29
I like the detail on the dewback but i think it needs just a little break of the blue. maybe a gradient or something
socksa5/13 at 0:29
Love the basing btw. and the saddle
The Emperor5/13 at 16:30
thanks! sorry I didn't get back to y'all right away, it didn't notify me when I got a coment...
The Emperor5/13 at 16:31
yeah Fallenangel700 it's mainly bad lighting, will update it.
The Emperor5/13 at 16:33
-socksa-
I did a shade and that's what covered the gradient, if you look at the end of the tail there's a faint line of light/dark blue
Fallenangel7005/13 at 16:48
Yeah, the updated picture looks a lot better.
The Emperor5/13 at 23:06
Thanks
The Emperor5/13 at 23:07
If and when I get another, what color scheme should I do?
The Emperor5/14 at 22:07
I've gotten a request to do him lava, maybe bright orange gradient base coat then drybrush black/gray over to make him kinda glow
Llamas11005/14 at 23:00
Yea that would look so cool! You should do that!
The Emperor5/15 at 17:41
When I get it. most likely not anytime soon.
feel free to try your own though!!
Love the OSL on the legs from the flames, looks great.
The Emperor4/9 at 16:51
thanks! I'll try and get another pic of the SM-9, his is better then the unit leaders.
The Emperor4/9 at 18:40
sorry, not the best quality
SpectacledHusky4/9 at 21:05
The jet effect looks amazing, you should base it and add some more OSL on the base! It would look even better
The Emperor4/10 at 4:32
Yes! but unfortunately I don't have any basing material yet, but when I acquire it that will defiantly be something I will do!
SpectacledHusky4/10 at 20:48
Go to a craft store like Michael's if you need hobby grass, you can get a little bag of it for $4. Then, go to a pet store like Petsmart. They have coconut fiber substrates for tortoises and reptiles for $5, not too much of it, but it works for minis. I had a tortoise (left him at home when I moved out) and we used some of that for his enclosure so I got some while I was over for my spring break. Mix the two together and you get a nice green-brown combo for dry fields, forest floors, and swamps (put some ardcoat or something glossy on top of the base for a water effect)
My brothers the S.C. and I finally convinced him to allow me to paint one of his BS's, here's how it turned out! let me know what y'all think bout the color scheme!
Astral Radar 4/5 at 16:54
What was the inspiration for the colors?
The Emperor4/5 at 17:10
I saw someone else's that were purple and light blue and thought the colors mashed pretty good so, here they are!
Black smoky corridor slowly turns to a deep glowing red, step, step, step. Silence. What's that? Breathing?? Who-haa, who-haa.
Screams fill the hall as the dark Lord's himself stalks down the length of the hall, stopping for nothing, turning aside for no one.
Men fall like chaff before him, none can stop him...
Enter Darth Vader!!!
Llamas11003/29 at 1:14
I love the glow effect the saber has on his suit! Amazing job! :D
HQ, HQ! we need back up imediantly! the Rebs are everywhere! Ha, I am joking. there were about 14ish but there all dead. my men and i are requesting a break. all this "hard work" is killing me!
-Captain Astroth. Shoretrooper Squad 4 Alpha
Llamas11003/23 at 4:06
Nice shoretroopers! The shading on their armor looks almost realistic, what paints do you use?
The Emperor3/23 at 17:44
Warpaints. Yeah they don't look as good as I wanted them to but their close. They are definitely my fav corps unit I've painted so far (those being only stormys)
The Emperor3/23 at 17:45
the Army Painter Warpaint's Delivered MegaBox is more specifically what I'm using
The Emperor3/23 at 17:46
But yeah, all their armor is is Skelton Bone with a Soft Tone that's all. No highlights.
-Sand Trooper-
"Yes Sir! Wait one second..."
-Dewback-
"Grumf smack gruuu"
-Sandtrooper-
he says that it tasted like Ferroan Spinach & Pickled Zog, with a little extra crunch!
