"Move along...move along" - Second Olley Stormtrooper Squad

These should need no introduction after my first set of stormtroopers, just another group of Kryomek Nexus SWAT troopers. These are five different sculpts, again from the hands of Bob Olley, and again still available from Scotia Grendel.


I painted the stormtroopers in exactly the same way as the first batch (GW contrast paints over a white undercoat), meaning they were again quick and simple to finish. The other trooper was turned into Dengar in case you're wondering why there are only five when they are sold in packs of three.




I plan to add the Emperor and a pair of Royal Guard to this Imperial force, but after that I really do need to focus on the rebels. They are very much outnumbered and I haven't got round to finishing off any heroes yet!

    1. Thanks Toby, the armour comes up well, but it's super quick and easy! Just contrast over a white undercoat, then a quick drybrush with white.

  2. What a fantastic final result, I love how consistent that white over black looks

    1. Thanks Suber. I have to thank the Star Wars designers for a really eye-catching scheme!
