Thanks everyone.  :)

It’s been the best part of a month without any activity, as this is one of busiest times of year work wise for me, but I managed to get some more stormtroopers finished this weekend.

As previously stated, I hate painting white, which is why the first bunch of stormtroopers were mostly just rebased/grubbed up minis I picked up secondhand, but this new bunch are my own feeble efforts. The NCO is another conversion. :D

The improvised transports are cargo skiffs from Oshiro….need to get some more of them, as they are really useful.

That's quite a force and with such numbers at least one of them should be able to hit something...maybe...

Good stuff, any hero is only as good as the hordes of goons they have to fight through. These are top class goons.

Excellent stuff! I painted one stormtrooper, half the size, then proceeded to make some excuses and try and distract myself with literally anything else I could find  lol

Do you think those skiffs would work for 15mm? I can re-fettle the control console to be more scale appropriate.

Definitely! Oshiro also have a smaller Skiff which would also work, but it would look really cool seeing a wheeled/tracked vehicle roll out of one of these skiffs like a landing craft.

Thanks AKULA. Added to my (ever increasing) wish list of things I’d like from Oshiro.
