As 2022 draws to a close, I regard my hobby efforts this year with melancholy disappointment. All told, I painted 68 miniatures, and I’m unlikely to paint any more before midnight tonight. One thing I was hoping to paint this year was my full set of Star Wars” Imperial Assault: The Bespin Gambit. By “full set” I meant all the miniatures that come in the box, and all the ally and villain expansions released at the same time. Close, but no cigar. A few expansions will have to wait for a future post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did manage to do the core set, though, starting with these Bespin Wing Guard. I painted them all the way back in April, but held off on posting them (or any other Star Wars stuff) because I wanted to post the whole set together. Anyway, here they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next: the Ugnaught Tinkerers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I knew what an Ugnaught looked like, but I had to check source material a bunch of times while painting these guys. Anyway, they have spoken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the heroes: Murne Rin, Master of Intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ilthorians are my favorite Star Wars race. “Hammerhead” was one of the first Kenner Star Wars figures I ever owned as a kid; and I made an Ilthorian Jedi for the Start Wars RPG back in the day. It was good to see them make a comeback in The Mandalorian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And speaking of Jedi, here is the other hero from the set: Davith Elso, Codename “Hawkbat.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dumb code name. Cool miniature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly but not leastly, I did manage to paint one expansion, at least…and it’s a good one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Trandoshan, the myth, the legend… and the dude on the cover of the box…Bossk! Here he is with the Trandoshan Hunters from the original IA core box set. You’ll note that one is painted as Bossk, because it was before Bossk got his own miniature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bossk says: Happy New Year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
