Hello!
I've been eyeing Star Wars Shatterpoint, as I've been hoping to play some skirmish-scale game set in the galaxy far far away. My first pick was Legion, though that one doesn't really have a dedicated spin-off skirmish mode.

My question is, how possible is it to make strike teams (if my terminology is correct here) without (or with a limited use) of named characters? I'm talking strike teams consisting predominantly of clones/droids/stormtroopers of various kinds, but perhaps limiting the actual named characters to a single one or so.
From the various boxes I've seen, most feature a lot of characters, hence why I'm asking. I'm just not sure if a hero vs hero is my jam, as I fancy the basic troop angle a bit more ;D

Basically the question above! I've been thinking about making a swill-themed army, especially when seeing these minis. However, I'm a bit concerned that achieving such a paint job (especially skin, though the rest too) might be rather difficult. What do more experienced painters think?
