FLOCKING TOGETHER

 Today is the last of my Kroot reinforcements I got for Christmas the Krotox Rampagers. This is a new type unit, as before the Krotox originally were always described as slow and lumbering, and not massively aggressive, where as these seem very different from that, so in my lore I will have these as young bulls, before they learn temperance ( don't know what the GW lore is).

Used my normal colour scheme, and no conversions, these are straight from the box ( it happens occasionally ! LOL) that's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

UP THE REBELLION

 One of the gifts I got for Christmas was the new Rebel Sleeper Cell box, this is one of the new sets by Atomic Mass Games, and there are several noticeable differences to previous rebel box sets, first there is more models in the set (that's a bonus), the next is the face detail is shallower, so needs more work to make look right ( not great, but manageable), and the last difference was there was no female sculpts in the set (disappointing, as I liked the equal opportunities element). The set contains 5 humans, two aliens and an astromech. First up the humans.

Went with the same colour pallet I've used on all my rebels. Next is the aliens.

As you can see you get a Sullustan ( same species as Nien Nunb) and a Rodian, I've gone with blue skin, as I've already got a lot of green, and yellow/orange ones.

Above is the Astromech, now this comes with several options, but as I've painted a lot based on the movie ones already, I went with the option that isn't movie based, and decided to call it A2V. The set also has a Loth Cat, which is supposed to be on the base of one of the rebels, but I put it on a separate base and will add it to the bases I've got from Imperial Assault. That's all for today, so until next time stay safe, and have fun !

BIRD'S OF FEATHER

 Today I have another Kroot reinforcement from Christmas the new Krootox model, I've built it with the new grenade launcher option, as this will give my army another new weapon to use.

I've painted it up in my standard colours, but played with darker tones on the Krootox, overall I like the new model, except all the bangles on the arms, they're a bit over the top for my taste. How does it compare to the old model, well here they are side by side.

As you can see above it's a bit larger and a lot more quills on it, so it could be the old one is female and the new one is male, as I'm not replacing my old ones, just adding in the new one, as you can have up to 5 in a squad and this now brings my total up to 4, there is a spare head, so I might a second one, just not sculpt all the bangles on the arms so I have a full contingent. That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !
