Assaulting Imperial Assault
Episode 9 - AT-DP - Last of Summer ... Imperial Troops
The AT-DP is the last of the Imperial “Troop” units I have for the game. By “troop” I basically mean any non-named unit; I still have a couple of Imperial character miniatures to do. It feels a bit strange to suddenly be so close to the end of painting all of the Imperial Assault miniatures when at the start of the year it couldn’t have been further from my mind.
This model was incredibly easy to paint. I primed it Uniform Grey (Army Painter) and then gave the whole thing a really heavy black wash which I wiped off before letting it dry. That was it, then I picked out the details in Leadbelcher. The gun I gave a coat of Black Templar contrast paint – my favourite trick for painting weapons. Finally I had a bit of a play with some weathering pigment around the lower legs, first time I have really used them – I quite like the results. It was based using some of the GW texture paints and drybrushing, with a few dabs of brown and black washes around where the feet are pressing into the sand
