Star Wars Imperial Assault: Return to Hoth Part 3

Wrapping up this expansion with the heroes MHD-19, Verena Talos, and Loku Konolua as well as Echo Base Troopers. Check out Part 1 and Part 2 if you missed it. 

All done and ready to play!

Star Wars Imperial Assault: Return to Hoth Part 2

Continuing on from Part 1, we've got the SC2-M Repulsor Tank, General Sorin, Dengar, and two wampas. Part 3 coming soon; wrapping up with the heroes.

Star Wars Imperial Assault: Return to Hoth Part 1

We've taken to not playing Imperial Assault without painted miniatures as it just adds so much and looks so much cooler. I've made my wife wait almost 3 months now to play the Return to Hoth expansion while I wrapped up some other projects and get around to getting all the miniatures painted.

We'll get things started with some Snowtroopers and HK assassin droids.

Star Wars Imperial Assault: Royal Guard Champion

Continuing with another board game miniature, speed painted. Been picking up several Imperial Assault minis over the past couple months which are perfect for this. My wife and I really love this game and it really does add a lot to the fun when all the miniatures are painted. Royal Guard Champ is a great model for the core game campaign.

Star Wars Imperial Assault: Han Solo & Chewbacca

Again moving in my sort of usual rhythm for painting. After a big project that takes months I like to take a break and just do some fun speed painting. Board game minis are perfect for this and Star Wars miniatures are really a lot of fun to paint. Painted up these two in about three hours.

Imperial Assault: Rebel Saboteurs

Enjoying painting the line of miniatures for Imperial Assault. The miniatures are pretty good for a board game but not so good that I feel guilty when I only throw a quick paint job on them. Anyways, anyone who's played IA skirmish knows how good these little guys are.

Imperial Assault: C3PO and R2D2

Finished these two quite awhile ago but just getting around to posting them. Been doing a lot of speed painting lately as it's a therapeutic break from high quality, detail work.

Imperial Assault: Leia Organa

Picked up the Leia expansion pack for IA awhile back with a few others and finally got around to painting it. The miniatures for IA are hit and miss and the quality is pretty poor in comparison with actual miniature manufacturers but it's a board game and hey it's still Star Wars and that makes it cool.
I don't take a ton of time painting these miniatures since even a stellar paint job can only make a mediocre miniature look so good but for the time spent it looks just fine.

Star Wars: Imperial Assault 2

This has become one of my favorite board games. We've recently delved into the skirmish mode for this game after finishing the campaign and that's been very enjoyable as well. I may have spoiled myself for future board games incorporating miniatures though; I'm not sure I could ever go back to unpainted minis now. So here's rounding out the rest of the miniatures in the base game.

Stars Wars Imperial Assault: The Heroes

My wife and I have been enjoying Imperial Assault quite a bit lately. Having all the miniatures painted really adds to the enjoyment of the game and painting up Star Wars minis is a lot of fun.

Star Wars: Imperial Assault

It's been quite awhile since my last post. Had to put some other things first for awhile. Felt like a change of pace to start things back up so I grabbed a few handfuls of the miniatures that come with the Star Wars board game Imperial Assault.
This was a quick and dirty job just to get a decent tabletop finish. I only spent maybe 6-7 hours from start to finish on the 17 miniatures. This is about half of the miniature included with the game. I'll get to the other half at some point but will probably move on to something else in the mean time. They look good enough I guess and will more than suffice for play.
