Star Wars Shatterpoint: General Veers

Star Wars Shatterpoint: General Veers

Yeah I know, the Shatterpoint model of Veers comes with a trio of Snowtroopers. I’ll get to the Blizzard Force models when I get to painting their Legion counterparts and do them in a combined batch-paint.

Obviously, since I was painting the other Veers models and the Veers-alike print, it only made sense to me that I should also paint the Shatterpoint version of him at the same time. So that’s what I did. I figure I’ll do the same sometimes when painting Legion models and also drop in some of the Star Wars Imperial Assault models as well – it’ll be a decent way to get models for the other two games painted while not nessecarily focusing on those games. Some of the IA models can fit into Legion as well with a bit of a base lift, though perhaps less so for these big Shatterpoint boys!

Once again they did a good job with this Shatterpoint Veers. I wonder if they got the same sculptor who did the new Legion model to do both as they share a very similar sculpting aesthetic. It’d certainly make sense, I guess!

Now when I posted those crates a little while ago, I mentioned how I’d used the same palette on them as I had for my Imperial Officers. They were actually all on the go at the same time for awhile (these officers actually started WAY earlier, and just took forever to get finished – I had actually been hoping to get these models done for the Forward March challenge, but I got stuck on their cloth uniforms for awhile. Like 2 months.

In any case, here they are alongside the crates. Once I get hold of some regular Imperial Army Troopers and get those painted as well we’ll really have a box party happening!

Star Wars Legion: General Veers 1st Edition and General Veers 2nd Edition

Yes, it’s General Veers! What’s going on here of course is that we have both the 1st Edition model of Veers cast in PVC alongside the fairly new 2nd Edition Veers in HIPS plastic. Since I already had the older model but had picked up the new one, I decided to paint them together – along with The Desert General seen in my previous post.

Quite a difference between the two, eh? I can only assume that the original was an earlier sculpt in the range, as he very much has the same kind of overly “heroic scale” proportions and feel that some of the older, chunky Imperial Guard have, while the new version is much more leaning towards proportions approaching truescale – along with a much more refined pose!

As far as painting goes, all of these Veers and Veers-Adjacent models were painted using AK 3rd Gen 11154 Field Grey as the base for their green uniforms, highlighted through AK111323 RAL6040 F9 Helloliv and into AK11352 IDF Modern Grey. The armour plates are AK11133 Dark Green Grey/AK11167Anthracite Grey into AK11356 SLA Blue and then AK11011 Grey Blue. And now I can come back and check these later! 😀

New Veers kind of looks like he’s sending Old Veers off to chase down some Rebels, doesn’t he? What will I use all of these very similar General models for in the game? Not sure, yet, but it’s also really not a worry for me. I’m here just as much (or more) for the painting as I am for the gaming at this point!

See you tomorrow with another post of May’s models!
