Back in town.  Time to figure out how to take decent looking photos of the whole board.  In the mean time, let me finish off the pieces....

Rebel bishop 1:  General Crix Madine

"I formed the storm commandos and led them in their early missions. It was those successes that put us in a position to unleash a biological weapon, the Candorian plague, on Dentaal. We were just following orders. That was the last order I took from the Empire. I defected to the Alliance, but I'll be paying my debt to Dentaal until the day I die."
--Crix Madine, Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide

Rebel bishop 2:  Admiral Gial Ackbar

Gial Ackbar was a veteran male Mon Calamari soldier and revolutionary leader during the Clone Wars, the Galactic Civil War, and the conflict between the Resistance and the First Order. Throughout his sixty years of service, Ackbar was regarded as a brilliant tactician.

Ackbar was captain of the Mon Calamari Guard during the Clone Wars and fought in the Battle of Mon Cala, in which he helped to secure Prince Lee-Char's ascent as King of Mon Cala and repel the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After the rise of the Galactic Empire, Ackbar became the foremost military commander in the Alliance to Restore the Republic, emerging as a symbol of defiance against the Empire's subjugation of non-humans. His presence attracted Mon Calamari support for the Alliance, thus supplying the Mon Calamari star cruisers that made up a bulk of the Alliance Fleet.

Thanks!

As always, I've glued, puttied over articulation points, and repainted the entire figure.

I decided to change Ackbar's pants to pure white, instead of having the stripes down each leg.  I didn't feel like free-handing stripes, or getting decals printed.  And, I also wanted to slightly changed his uniform from the striped-pants that appear in Return of the Jedi.  It's sort of like, those were his "about to destroy the Death Star or die trying" striped victory-or-death pants.

Needless to say, I think these look great. I figured one of the characters right for the Rebel Bishops. This is in the home stretches. You will be playing Star Wars Chess soon. Who gets to play you first on it?

Off to share the latest.

Haha!  Yeah!  Probably a friend and his wife and buddies.  We play Battlefield 4 and Star Wars Battlefront together.

In two weekends, I think I'm going to go bring the board, and my PC, over to his house and have a pizza/bbq/Battlefront night over there.

Sounds like my kind of party. If anyone wants to video a small portion of that (especially some footage of the Chess Set), I would love to share it.
