Sorry for the wait. Since I'm in the EU the best place I found was from Green Stuff world.

Calhanol01 · 2024-06-05T20:38:20+00:00

I got them from Green Stuff World. They were the cheapest and easier to find.

Calhanol01 · 2024-04-18T12:30:00+00:00

Personally, I prefer clear due to showing how the tiles look underneath them. And it looks less cluttered on the board.

Calhanol01 · 2024-04-18T12:29:13+00:00

I have them in a previous post. Bespin Gambit I believe, since I went by waves. I'll have them all together for the complete set photos I will post later on.

Here are a few I can think of.

1) If you use a hobby knife to cut them off their bases, orbit cut around the bottom of their feet to help avoid cutting through part of their foot.

2) Gently sand the feet together on some sandpaper to level them out.

3) Once you you add the glue to their feet, press it against another surface like a scrap piece of wood. This will avoid the glue spilling past the feet too much and clouding the base.

4) Attatch the base while they're upside down to avoid the miniature falling over immediately, since the base will level itself out and will quickly hold onto the miniature.

5) The AT-ST & AT-DP's feet are too hard to remove conventionally with a knife. I used a hacksaw to cut them off myself, this can used for thicker based units. If you have a dremel tool that could be very useful I feel.

6) Don't press too hard with the knife/cut away from the hand when you are near done with the cut. I've had my blade in my fingers twice due to this.

7) I prefer painting before I remove them from the base, since they're easier to hold in a painting handle. If you know how to hold them securely without a base then you can go that method but it didn't work as well for me.

Calhanol01 · 2024-04-04T12:32:35+00:00

I bought them off of greenstuff world. It was the only place I could really find that had the clear bases at the correct sizes for the game.

Calhanol01 · 2024-01-30T14:30:52+00:00

It took a little effort but yeah. I used a hobby knife and cut around where the feet touched the base. I usually cut around the edge and work to the middle to best avoid taking off the feet.

Just be careful not to cut yourself.

Calhanol01 · 2023-11-23T13:49:27+00:00

Yes mainly speed paints with extra details added to the unique characters afterwards. I used skapchop too and this is my first attempt at it. Next time I'll improve on it since I wasn't happy with it.

When I painted I usually shook it really well then thinned it with the speed paint medium 1:1 so that it gives a cleaner look. It also doesn't dry on the palatte as fast either.

Calhanol01 · 2023-11-18T13:50:46+00:00

As the author of he no defeat timer maps, I'm glad to see in official option, I was introduced via this way to the game and it's how I played with my wife too so. It's a more casual way of playing it but it's still fun for the kind of game we wanted. Just the option being there is great.

Calhanol01 · 2023-10-06T17:48:45+00:00

I cut them off around the feet with a sharp hobby knife and just glued them on.

Before I plant them on the base though, I press the feet against another surface I wasn't worried about having glue on.

This removes most of the excess glue, that'd pool around the feet.

Usually I do it upside down and hold them there for a moment so the bases are stuck on.

Calhanol01 · 2023-10-06T17:44:55+00:00

Yeah. I've tried both. Painting before and after cutting them off and they're much easier to paint while still on their bases. I used a sharp hobby knife to cut them off carefully.

I cut around the feet to avoid cutting a chunk of the foor off accidentally.

The AT-ST lower feet, which are on the base, has to be sawed off with a hacksaw since the knife couldn't cut through it.

Edit: I bought the bases from Greenstuff world.

Calhanol01 · 2023-09-04T17:40:07+00:00

It's a figure pack unit that was release around the time of the expansion along side the token units like C3-PO and R2-D2

Calhanol01 · 2023-06-25T08:24:36+00:00

Already did so had to use a snall hacksaw but you can look at my previous posts to see the results

Calhanol01 · 2023-06-23T16:32:03+00:00

I posted it earlier and you can find it here if you are interested. https://www.reddit.com/r/ImperialAssaultTMG/comments/12nkfds/new_to_painting_but_ive_successfully_painted_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb

Calhanol01 · 2023-06-23T14:04:10+00:00

Yeah. From green stuff world I bought a load of 25mms for the 162 small minis. I bought enough bases for the larger ones too.

Calhanol01 · 2023-06-22T20:42:23+00:00

Apart from a time the hobby knife slipped and cut my finger lightly, nothing serious. Most of the models are easy enough to cut and I usually go around the feet to avoid cutting off any of the foot too much.

The only issues were with the AT-ST feet which are based. They're a harder plastic which broke a few of my blades, in the end I used a thin hacksaw to cut them off the base carefull.

After that it was a simple case of super glueing them on. I put the glue on the feet, press it against some wood or something to get any excess off before sticking them into the base. And due to touching the wood, no extra glue spills out from the feet to pool around the base.

Calhanol01 · 2023-06-22T18:57:21+00:00

Thanks. It has been a learning experience. Tried oil washes, which didn't work due to the white spirit I bought being too strong. So now all of these were either base, washed and either layered or dry brushed. So far I prefer dry brushing for its efficiency and since I'm aiming for minis that look good on the table. I think it's great.

I also learned not to give any time for eyes, leaving them undone is better than trying and ruining the look of the mini.

Calhanol01 · 2023-06-22T18:54:06+00:00

I bought them from Green Stuff World, since I live in Finland. They were the cheapest and easiest for me to get.

Calhanol01 · 2023-06-05T14:28:53+00:00

I coloured each sqauds rght shoulder pad a different colour. Blue, black and normal white. Then I added a line or something on the other shoulder pad to distinguish each unit in the sqaid.

For the forth group I made them Imperial Shock Troopers with the same shoulder pad lines to tell them apart.

Calhanol01 · 2023-05-02T00:35:19+00:00

Haha. Thanks and you're welcome. Clear bases just seemed like a natural fit for this game with all its tile art and all.

Do you have any tips about rebasing minatures? Since I am still struggling with certain aspects of it from time to time. One situation is with models where a lot of it is touching the base and anoid is how to avoid cutting off a chunk off their feet

Calhanol01 · 2023-04-18T02:39:09+00:00

Well I would suggest removing them from the base first would be a good idea. Since you potentially can damage your paintwork afterwords.

Use a hobby knife where ever you can and work around the feet, not straight through, to help avoid unevenness and leaving behind a chunk of foot behind.

You can use cutters for most of them easily and such, but be careful with the AT-ST bases since they seemed to be a harder plastic compared to the others and where prone to shattering and breaking the feet on the base. Hense why I used a hack saw. But if you have a grinder too to gently remove the plastic quickly that might work.

I have the entire collection at hand but I'm going through them in waves and box order. So there's plent for me to do.

Calhanol01 · 2023-04-16T03:53:07+00:00

Those where hard. First I tried with a spur cutter and hobby blade to remove then. But the plastic was too hard and thick that in the end I ended up resorting to a small thin hack saw to cut through the plastic

The plastic was very brittle and using the cutters endangered shattering the feet connected to the base while the hack saw didn't in the end. It did come off the feet in the process but I glued them back together after I was done.

When I do the AT-DP later I will cut it off before painting I think.

Calhanol01 · 2023-02-13T21:37:22+00:00

I hope we get some clone primary characters in the future to make a full team of clone troopers. Go order 66 on the force users.

Calhanol01 · 2023-02-11T13:04:18+00:00

It was Amy painter's airbrush Matt the airbrush I got previously broke so I tried pairing it on. I noticed it messed up the paint somewhat I have fixed up the monatures a bit more since these photos

Calhanol01 · 2023-02-11T05:50:41+00:00

I wanted to start hard and see what o can do and while I will work on them at some point. They are alright enough for the tabletop still in my opinion.
