Director Krennic- Aspirations of Terror

Rogue One is one of my personal favorite Star Wars films, and I find the villain of the piece, Director Krennic, a fascinating character. Despite his overweening pride he's managed to finagle himself both rank and privileges, and he's not afraid to take the lead in combat.Fitting, then, that he should be made for a wargame! The miniature is another from the Star Wars Legion line, and I continue to be impressed by the sculpts- the head and cloak in particular capture the look of the character very well.

I played around some with my white tones on him (compare the cloak to Professor Yana, for example), and I'm pretty happy with the effect. The costume presents some really good contrasts, which makes for a miniature that will stand out on the table.

The base is inspired by the opening scene on Lah'mu, a volcanic planet filmed in Iceland. Now I just need some Death Troopers to flank him...

The Mandalorian: The Original Definite Article

It has been almost six months since I've posted! Life unfortunately has a habit of getting in the way, and I now find myself presented with a rarity for me- a pile of completed, but unposted miniatures! I hope to get posts up with more frequency as the year progresses, starting with my most recent project- Boba Fett.

This miniature is from a game I have never played, Fantasy Flight's Star Wars Legion. It's a slightly larger scale then the average wargaming miniature (35mm), and I had never convinced myself to buy any, being uncertain of the quality and scale. However, my girlfriend, knowing my interest in Star Wars, bought me this model for Christmas and I have not been disappointed! The larger scale allows for even more detail and it is one of the most enjoyable digital sculpts I've painted- the paint seemed to flow onto the sculpt, rather than having to fight against it.

 Boba Fett went through a costume change in between his two appearances- this sculpt is based on his latter appearance in Return of the Jedi. I discovered an invaluable resource for painting Fett- the 501st Legion's (a Star Wars cosplay group) costume guidelines. I tried to get the detail and weathering to stay close to this guide- the silver chipping, in particular, is what makes the armor pop.
