Imperial AT-ST Walker


A small toy Imperial AT-ST Walker from Star Wars, repainted and given a forest base.

Following a painting tutorial by Sorastro, I primed and painted this toy, and gave it a base. I don’t normally follow tutorials exactly — I usually just use them for inspiration — but given that the model wasn’t the large one from Star Wars: Legion, and since the base is entirely different, it still came out unique.

Painting the walker was mostly various levels of dry-brushing different greys onto it. The greys did have a hint of brown added to them, for a warmer toned grey. I then added dirt and grime, using a sponge and various dirty colors. I also added various scratches, and some rusty drip lines under the view ports and the rear vents. I must admit, the weathering is really fun.

The base then, was just an old 2-inch base from a WizKids mini; nothing fancy. I added a few levels of cork that came off an old ruler (yes trash can be useful), with some sand glued on. Apart from painting, I also added some Vallejo wild grass tufts.

Overall, it was a quick paint job, since it’s a messy and grimy style, but it was fun and worth it nevertheless.
