The Thin Beige Line

The BX Command Droid’s required a little more work than the B1’s. I touched their eyes back in with Wraithbone to make sure they stood out and added a  second, light dry brush of German Field Blue over the black chassis. The bases were then completed as per my previous units.

Checking back over my reference I noticed that the Vibrosword blades could benefit from another layer of Iron Breaker. I left the hilt and spine showing more purple, as depicted in the image.

Due to lock down restrictions the Commandos were yet to see the table top but my intention is to run them as follows;

Firstly this two man sniper team who will be perfect for grabbing back field objectives and harassing critical enemy units from range. The commands have the most powerful sniper rifle to date, boasting two red dice and the Lethal key word. Combined with the Commandos Sharp Shooter ability this unit is all but guaranteed to cause at least one wound each time it fires.

The rest of the droids will form a unit equipped with Vibroswords and include the Dioxis Mine Saboteur. This unit will play a much more aggressive role, making the most of the scout and charge abilities in order to engage the enemy head on.

The Commanding Officers currently available to the Separatists are both close ranged fighters, so this 2nd BX squad is a welcome addition to my force. They are a highly mobile unit, ideal to keep pace with my commander and support an assault.

I have already tackled both Count Dooku and General Grievous in smaller projects which can be found here:
