Core Set Heroes

Time for us to see all the Core Set Heroes. These are the Rebels who thwart the Imperial Schemes and overcome the threat posed by Darth Vader and the Evil Galactic Empire™.

First off, Diala Passil and Jyn Odan.



Diala's force talents and skill with her lightsaber, if she is lucky enough to get it in the campaign, make short work of the Imperial forces. Jyn's speed and accuracy however mean that she is always a threat to anyone stupid enough to engage her.

Next, Gaarkhan and Fenn Signis.



No one wants to face an unstoppable wookie with a power weapon. Meanwhile Fenn is able to take out the enemy from range and clear a path for his wookie friend.

Finally we have Mak Eshka'rey and Gideon Argus.



Mak's ability to befuddle the enemy constantly confuses and confounds their attempts to stop the rebels. Meanwhile Gideon leadership skills are unmatched and he can rally the forces to astounding victories.

All of these are minis that were wonderful to paint.

Again, I couldn't have done any of this without following Sorastro's Painting Tutorials, and I thank him for all of his work and allowing me to learn how to pain.

Han, Chewie, IG-88, and of course Boba Fett

It's time to see our favourite smugglers, and the bounty hunters who chase them.

Han and Chewbacca are the two most iconic characters from Star Wars for me, and I am glad they came out so well.




As always, you can click on the image to see a more detailed version.

Han was always being pursued, not just my the Empire, but by bounty hunters sent by the evil Jabba the Hutt.

First off we have IG-88.



A wonderful looking droid.

But of course, the most popular character in Star Wars, even if not the most well known by non fans, is Boba Fett. This is by far the most complicated miniature I have ever painted, and he took me nearly 20 hours to complete.

From the detailed colour scheme, to the symbol on the shoulder, everything turned out amazing.






I hope you think he looks as wonderful as I do.

Again, thanks to Sorastro's Painting Channel for teaching me everything I know, and without whom I would never be able to do this.
