"Blast Them!" - Olley Empire Stormtroopers

It was inevitable that after painting up Darth Tevas, there were going to be Bob Olley stormtroopers. This six-strong squad is comprised of Kryomek Nexus SWAT troopers. They are classic Bob Olley sculpts from the early 1990s and are still available from Scotia Grendel.

The armour design seems to be heavily influenced by stormtroopers, although the helmet gives met scout trooper or even cylon vibes. Either way, they're nice crisp sculpts that are easy to paint up as stormtroopers. I momentarily thought about removing the SWAT lettering from their chests, but decided it would have been for minimal gain.

I painted all 6 models in a couple of hours using mainly Citadel contrast paints (apothecary white and black templar over a white undercoat). It was quite gratifying to get the full squad done in a single sitting.

I might add more troopers at a future point, but these six are enough for me to build a Stargrave force around by adding a couple of specialists.
