Following the dipping, drybrushing and sepia wash, I did some more highlighting by mixing Bonewhite with Ivory then going after some raised areas.

I feel like I have overworked this a bit by this stage, I think my drybrushing after the dip stage was too heavy.  I removed too much of the shading effect and could have probably made things easier on myself, but that’s a lesson learned for the next three squads.

I am using the purple as a personal touch to my army, I want them to be mine while sticking close enough to the source materials for everything to be instantly identified and feel like Star Wars.

Then I went in with the weathering.  I have used diluted Typhus Corrosion to grubby things up along with a light drybrush of plate mail silver for scuff marks.

All that was left then was to varnish and rebase onto clear acrylic.  I haven’t done this before and it was a bit nerve wracking!  I put the minis into the freezer overnight then (carefully!) popped them off the stock bases.

Using brush applied Gorilla Super glue, I dabbed a little on, waited a few seconds to allow fumes to disperse (this can cause fogging apparently) then put them down trying really hard not to let them slip around.  I messed up the first base but have spares!
