The day of delivery arrived and I picked up my (obscene) pile of toys. I built all 52 B1 Battle Droids (Fiddly!), both squads of B2s, the Droidekas (my god, what a pain in the bum they are to build.)The Spider Droids, Specialists, STAPs (worst yet to build, especially as they’re in subassemblies for ease of painting.) the first specialist box, Maul, Dooku and two Grievous’ (Grievii?), as well as the Magnaguard I bought and a squad of Commandos.

I glued 3×2 mm rare earth magnets under the bases and put the into magnetised Really Useful Boxes. (4 and 9 litres). You find you use an A4 sheet and a bit extra from another. The sheet cuts easily enough with a sharp craft knife and a steel ruler.

Once done, I primed the B1s in Wraithbone, by GW, the Commandos, Magnaguard, and characters in Army Painter Uniform Grey and the rest in Army Painter Platemail. The measuring tools for both Legion and Marvel: Crisis Protocol snuck in too.
