"That was a hard day. I had to make many unpleasant decisions."

Valin Hess was a general in the Galactic Empire. After the fall of Emperor Palpatine, Hess took part in Operation: Cinder where his regiment attacked a city on Burnin Konn. When the civillians proved themselves difficult to defeat, Hess ordered the city destroyed killing all it's inhabitants including an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 of his own soldiers.

Later, Hess would appear on the planet Morak when The Mandalorian and Migs Mayfield infiltrated a rhydonium refinery disguised as Juggernaut tank drivers. Having been the only crew to successfully deliver their rhydonium on that day, the general invited the two troopers to share a drink with him. When Hess offered a toast, Mayfield suggested a toast to Operation: Cinder. Hess then recalled that he had to make many unpleasant decisions for the greater good that day. After a further discussion, in which Hess showed little remorse for his decisions, Mayfield pulled out his blaster and shot Hess through the chest, killing him.

The great thing about making a Valin Hess Black series figure was that, like Veers, he was a General, so everything on the Veers body, including the Imperial rank badge and code cylinders were the exact same. So besides switching the skirt to a repainting Death Star Trooper. the only other real work was painting a 3D printed Valin Hess head I purchased from Watto's Scarpyard. As such, I spend a lot of time trying to mix different shades of skintone to increase the shadows on his face, as the actor who played Hess, Richard Brake, has a very distinct looking face. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Thanks for looking!

May the Force be with you.

Great job on this. I was thinking of getting some of the extras from Mando from the same seller. Since your Hess came out so beautifully, think I'm gonna go buy his Mara Jade head.
