OPRESSION BREEDS REBELLION

 Got a bumper crop for you all today, as I managed to finish multiple things all at the same time, let's start with a pair of IG assassin droids the one on the left I based off of IG-11 that appears in the series " The Mandalorian" the one on the right is a color scheme I made up, the kit comes with three different torso's and also two sets of each type of leg and arms, allowing you to make two exactly the same pose, just different torsos, I went with completely opposites.

I also got the two little probe droids to go with my seventh sister Inquisitor done.

Now onto my Rebellion section today, first a whole Rebel squad of Twileks, I combined up the heads from multiple kits to do this one.

The last painted squad today is the new Rebel Commando squad, nice kit even if this version doesn't have a Dressellian in it, which i would have liked.

Recently Azazael asked about the heads that came with each kit, so I thought I would list them for anyone who wanted to know, each of the new rebel kits (rebel squad, or commando's) comes with six human heads, 3 male and 3 female, 2 Mon Calamari, 2 Duros, 1 female Twilek, 1 young male Twilek, and 2 male Twilek, now this is the same for a 11 person squad, or a 7 person squad, the only reason I was able to do a full Twilek squad, was the starter box had 3 squads in it, so I could combine them up, hope this information helps anyone plan their purchases and squads. That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe and have fun !

IT'S A TRAP

 The immortal line from Admiral Ackbar in Return of the Jedi, this was the first movie that we met Mon Calamari, since then they have appeared in other movies and series, and given us multiple colors to represent them, which I wanted to reflect in the way I painted the 5 rebel troopers, the jacket and waistcoat I based of off Admiral Radasts crew.

The next three are another trio of aliens, a Togruta, a Devaronian, and a Snivvian from left to right, the heads came from the Swoop bike rider kit.

The last three for this squad are human, and the heads came from the Swoop bike kit, and customizable rebel officer and agent.

I've also managed to paint a unit of Jawa's that my children got me for Christmas, didn't include them in the construction challenge, as I just had to stick them to their bases.

Talking of annes-2026-miniature-assembly-challenge I've been busy constructing more of my pledge, I finished the first squad of Stormtroopers, and started the second, and also got the first squad of scouts put together.

These next two will count as bonus ones as I forgot to include them, a pair of IG assassin droids, and a pair of small probe droids that I'm going to put with the 7th Sister Inquisitor.

That's all for todays post, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

NUMBER OF THE BEAST

 Today is my 666 th post, as I don't have any demons to paint you'll have to put up with some of my regular models. First today is the Librarian Consul from the Horus Heresy range, which I've painted up for my Night Hawk chapter. The model has a lot of extra detail on it, so I'm thinking he will be the next in line to be Chief Librarian, and maybe a title like the keeper of the knowledge, as he carries several books, the Epistolery symbol on his shoulder was a bit of freehand, as were the red markings on the robes.

Next is the MK IV Tech Marine also from the Horus Heresy range, for the chapter symbol I didn't sculpt on the shoulder pad, as I liked the lines so freehanded the symbol, which I haven't done on a shoulder pad for a long time.

Last on the painting list today is the Saurus banner bearer, I've kept to my normal color scheme but increased the red areas which are the mark of Sotek to show he was marked for greatness.

I've also been busy putting together more models to paint, I've finished the rest of the second Rebel squad, I've done 5 as Mon Calamari, the two humans I've used spare heads from the multipart Rebel command models I got for my birthday, the last of the Rebel starter box was another Luke Skywalker, as I already have 3 of him, I've put him together for a Rebel Kallus model, I won't be doing any more on him until Forgotten Heroes later in the year. As the Rebel box is now all constructed, I've started the Imperial box, first up was Vader, where I'm actually going to have his light sabre retracted, and got the first 5 Stormtroopers constructed.

That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !
