I picked up the Star Wars: Imperial Assault board game and have painted the first model. Many more will see my paint table in the future. Probe Droid
I primed the model in black, dry brushed dark grey, then light grey, and picked out a few details with some color to break up the grey a bit. Next up on my painting table is another probe droid and a group of 3 storm troopers. I'm not 100% sure what to do with the base. I'll probably do some dirt/gravel with a bit of greenery. I will post updates here and on my blog as I finish more models. link |

Excellent! I would be proud to have that droid report what I am up to to the Emperor! |

But would you let it probe you? |

Guild Painting Service posted some nice pics on Facebook of Imperial Assault minis today. I received my copy of the game this a.m. and between Guild and sean68333 I'm primed to paint. |

I am somewhat tempted by the game. How does it play? Doug |

It's Descent 2.5 with skirmish rules. Click on Reviews in the BGG Forum: link |

I agree with ced1106; it is a spin off of Descent 2 with a few different things. It has a pretty short learning curve and after playing through the training scenario, I haven't had anyone with problems understanding the basic mechanics. I think you will end up with the heroes having lots of different options as they level up and that might be a bit for some to handle, but they should be learning and growing with the characters so I don't think it will be too bad. |

Next up is one of the Storm Trooper models. I tried a painting style new to me and am not certain I like it, but it is growing on me. It doesn't look great up close, but on the board it looks pretty good.
More pics and how I painted this can be found on my blog. link |

I've been working on other paint project and haven't really put much time into these models. However, I needed a break from my Epic 40K projects and decided to pull a few of these out of the box and put some paint on them.
Simple paint jobs, but I think they still look pretty good. link |

The wookie looks good! I'd push a brighter highlight on the red masks, to try to make the mask look like a different material than the robe. |
