By the way: Han shot first! FACT!

Of course he did. He's not an idiot!  :D

Han is the one still breathing, so that gives you some idea who shot first. No guarantees, but it is the way to bet!

And now a return to the title of this thread:

Stormtroopers

There isn't anything more annoying to paint, believe me. I'm happy that I'm almost through now. Only four of those with jet packs are left to finish for Imperial Assault. I await to paint the stormtroopers for SW Legion with horror already. Many more will be needed.  :'(
However these are riot control troopers supposed to patrol the streets of Imperial Center (formerly known as Coruscant). I'm pretty sure their cruiser sports some lettering of "TO FRIGHTEN AND TO PUNISH" instead of "to serve and to protect" though.

I noticed that too. It's the reason I painted them grey.

Now come the Jumptroopers, Rockettroopers or Jetpacktroopers, whatever you want to call them. Flyboys they are:

I think it happened a few years before even that, to be honest- I've been loving Andor though, so it isn't all bad :)

Either way, love these minis, incredible work :-*
