Star Wars Imperial Assault: Wookies, Probe Droids, and Nexu!



Not much to all these, just painted up a few of the "easier" minis from SW:IA.


First up were the wookies, Gharkaan and Chewbacca. They're similar, but a little different, in scheme. Both are a base brown, but Chewie is a darker brown with shades of black, while the wookie exclusive to the game, Gharkaan, is more of an orange hue. I started with the same brown base, but my shades and highlights were different for each. I just used my iPhone camera for these shots, so coloration may be off a smidge until I get my nice camera out to capture the lot of them. Gharkaan is at the top of this post, while Chewie is pictured below.


Also did the probe droids, actually the first from the set that I painted, I just haven't photographed them until now. Pretty simple, just sprayed black, drybrushed with metallics and then glossed on the lens pieces with a dash of white:


Lastly are the Nexu, holdovers from the prequels, but fortunately not major characters. I'll accept them, because they're creatures from the universe. So I painted them up, used a custom mixed pink wash in the fur, and dry brushed a gray as the tiger stripes. The mouth was painted in shades of purples and grays. All in all, fairly standard stuff, but the end result I was happy with, especially for a game that will most likely just be played with the family:


And there you have it! I'll get better shots of all of them once I get the whole set painted, but this gives you an idea of where they're at, and how I'm spending the 5 minutes of free time a day I have. Thank you for stopping by! Check out all painted SWIA minis here!
