For the Empire! Olley Imperials

I suspect that I'm now getting too deep into the 'Bob Olley does Star Wars' concept. But I'm OK with it! I definitely need an opposing Imperial force to face off against my rebels. It's the logical thing to do, right?



First up are a couple of characters to lead the Imperials - Darth Tevas and General Viers.

"Get that pilot to his ship!" - More Olley Rebels

I'm now getting to the point where a fully painted set of Bob Olley's Iron Claw space pirates is a realistic outcome in the near future (I have 6 left to paint). This set of three brings me up to 11 out of 17. Happily, there are still some fun characterful figures to come!

This is Not the Droid You Are Looking For - Olley Rebels (Again!)

I 've really been enjoying painting my Bob Olley space pirates as not-Star Wars figures. I reckon every Star Wars group needs droids and aliens, so leant into it with the most recent group.

For the Republic! More Iron Claw Space Pirates

I spent the week painting up another small group of Bob Olley sculpts for my not-rebel commandos. This time it's another pair of late-1980s Iron Claw space pirates, plus a Kryomek alien. They're starting to look like a nice-sized strike force for destroying bunkers, comms relays and such!
