Title: Yuber's never ending SWMB thread
Post by: Yuber Okami on May 07, 2019, 08:13:54 PM
I have been amassing a big SWMB army (with additions from other 25mm sources) for some years, so I think it's time to air my embarrassment show them somewhere in order to get some motivation so as to finish painting it once and for all.

So without any more talking, let me show you my first imperial army unit (I have like 30 stormtroopers already painted) and my AT-ST:

Sharing a thread is a great way to motivate yourself - I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I look forward that you motivate me by this thread to either get into painting my own again or to sell them finally...

My four boxes of unpainted SW Weg figures cry out for similar attention! They are on my To Do list (as additions to my Doctor Who gaming :). Very impressed with your Imperial Army paint job, excellent job and inspiring.

Don't sell them. Trust me, playing with those vintage stuff is quite an experience, and looking around for suitable scale models and terrain is an act of pure love. It makes you feel like those pioneer wargamers of old...

Just in order to keep the hype: I have some articles in my blog which are SWMB themed, but I'm particularly fond on this painting guide (http://huestesdearcana.blogspot.com/2016/11/weg-boba-fett-painting-guideguia-de.html)

Please zoom the pic. It's the only 25mm miniature whose painting I'm really proud of.

Good work.

A thread is good motivation to keep painting.

Actually I started buying them in the 1980s when they appeared on the market and painted a few hundred over the years. I collected models to go along over decades now, but I still haven't finished everything. Maybe I am one
of those pioneer wargamers of old...
Now I hope that you will start another fire from the ever glowing spark...  ;)

Ok, just a quick and dirty update:

(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m0lAi2DUB9k/XoHeMg5edJI/AAAAAAAACBE/kp8odZ8jbP4qX4sfoWdfsSId2yi_2CTpgCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Aurek%2BTeam.jpg)

Team Aurek, a bunch of mercs in power armour so fond of themselves they screwed their space cammo (save for the guy in dark blue) and painted their armours in the most brightly colours so that their enemies could easily identify them (and hopefully terrify and run away).

I've also painted some more SWMB stuff in the meantime, but I have yet to take pics.
