Anton's Imp Army Teaser

[Ryan]

Simply incredible Ant. I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures. It puts my little army to shame, that's for sure.

What you're looking at is over 700 troops and what portion of my fleet will fit in the picture. I'll be taking more pictures soon enough, and not with my iPhone.

Out of frame is a few more troops, two more standard TIEs, two interceptors, three Bombers, two At-At's, five At-St's and various smaller vehicles.

Not included in the set up is another TIE fighter, another Interceptor, another At-St, 4 speeder bikes and 4 At-At's. I simply didn't have the room.

For the curious, on the table is a full, minimum, battalion of 576 troops plus senior officers, support droids and a command staff totaling 664 pieces on the table alone. Below the table is just over 100 extra troopers. The Battalion is broken down as follows:

1st Company, all platoons (4) - infantry (stormtroopers)

Awesome work Anton!

[JediJman]

That's an awesome display Anton.  Do you keep this around all year or did you set up just temporarily?

[Darth_Anton]

Thanks everyone.

This is strictly for photography purposes, I originally intended just to do the table top, which had been more or less set up for a few months, but figured I'd go all out a few weeks ago and added the ships. If I had planned to add the ships, I might have purchased some more neutral grey background to make everything look a little sharper. My wife can't wait for me to pack it all up.

My wife can't wait for me to pack it all up. 

Tell her she can buy a couple pairs of shoes to keep it out a while longer.
