I've been trying to get my sons back into miniature gaming (they lost interest in superheros), but Star Wars Legion peaked their curiosity, so we picked up a bunch of items over the holidays. There is still quite a bit of painting and building to go, but I think we're off to a good start and will try our first battle today. Dad handled the figure painting, but my 10yr old is quite pleased with himself over his basing skills. Here's some pictures of our start, and more info can be found on the blog.

Fingers crossed that this will lure them back to the dark side!

Nice work on them.

Figures look great 8)
Could you get half a polystyrene ball for the dome on top?
-
Very smart indeed :o
-
Love your Shore troopers.
Great that you are getting your kids back into gaming.
-
Thanks Gents!
Jim, that's good idea if I can't get the next dome to work.
Tried a couple of games with the kids over the weekend using the basic rules. Think my oldest got frustrated trying to pick up the game mechanics, but my youngest loved it. Will keep painting up new toys and hopefully their interest will continue to grow.

With work shut down during the pandemic, I've managed to get some painting and build time in:

Nice 8)

Nice stuff you got here!
I recently just got in to Legions, and spent one week of just buying everyting I wanted, both Imperials and Rebels, since I want to be able to play both sides and also to have friends being able to try out the game. I also set up to make a gaming table for me and a person from my health care system (he helps me out two-four hours per week), he is also more of a friend now. At first I was overrwhelmed with all the stuff that you could buy and the awsome terrain from some vendors, so I took a good chunk of my saved up traveling funds (no trip to Thailand wiht my daughter this summer anyway due to the corona crap), and just went a head and got what ever I wanted and what seemed like even forces for the two sides. I might pick up the Clone Wars era starter box as well, since I love the miniatures and want to have yet more options.
Did you buy your terrain, print or scratch build them? I really like the Power Generators and would love to know where they come from.
Expect some Star Wars spamming from me in the near future hehe :)

Thanks Gents!
It is addictive Galland. I resisted Legion for a long time, but my sons were interested in playing, so I finally broke down to get them into wargaming (still no interest in historicals, sadly). Since I'm just playing at home with them (and running out of places my wife will let me store gaming materials), we'll keep the armies small and terrain limited, but there are a lot of cool items out there.
The majority of my terrain is MDF pieces from TT Combat: https://ttcombat.com/collections/sci-fi-utopia (https://ttcombat.com/collections/sci-fi-utopia). I added Liquitex ceramic stucco texture to the Tatooine style buildings to give them an adobe look, but the generators are unmodified.
The landing pad and cargo bay are from Sarissa, but to be honest, I don't think it's one of their better kits (and a bit undersized for Legion).

Hi Chris!
Good job on getting your sons to play, savour that, its fantastic. I played a lot of wargames with my son, when he was alive, we played a lot of different games, primarely Mordheim, but a lot of others as well. It's my fondest gaming memories.
Yeah Star Wars: Legion is addictive for sure, I started out with a starter pack and a Sabine Wren, from there it just went down hill, and started a avalanche, a serious buying frenzy haha! I have got most of what I ever want, but not Death Troopers or Phase 2 Clones, but it will come one day or another I suppose. I have so much to paint and build its kind of a relive that they arent around at the moment! :D
-
Cracking work on the new figures!
Love Bossk (one of my favourite SW characters, image-wise) and the paintjob on the Mandalorian armour is lovely.
:-* :-*

Great PJs!

A few more bits off the painting table:

So I haven't done any Legion work in quite a while as other projects took my attention. However, I found some 3D prints that reignited my spark for the project:

They look great where did you buy the resin prints from?

Thanks All!

I got them from a couple of different sellers on Etsy. Search for Legion Grunge Trooper and Legion Partisans, and you should get a few vendors to choose from in both Europe and North America.

Cool stuff, keep it coming please :)

Great stuff :)

Wonderful painting!

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. My Star Wars storage box is about at capacity, so these will likley be my final figures (at least for now).

Lovely work :-*

Infierno squad look good. I just started playing Battle front 2 after getting it on offer after Christmas so it' cool to see them on your tabletop. Del really looks like Del, well done.
May I ask where I could find the decals?

Excellent!

Thanks All!
