Title: Nick in a Galaxy far, far away - Star Wars Legion
Post by: Warboss Nick on May 25, 2020, 09:32:12 AM
Time to share some Star Wars Legion stuff. I decided to push through some stormtroopers this may so my rebels don‘t feel so lonely.

Thanks guys! My rebel force already has surpassed the minimum 800 points plus some extras.

Latest additions were tauntauns as well as some fleet troopers that had been waiting for some paint for quite a while.

Finally got round to painting more Star Wars legion. This time it’s a second dewback (along with two riders which gives me all four options) and four scout bikers. There are a couple more miniatures in the work bench, so hopefully the next progress report will not take that long again.

Inspiring!

Just bought some rebels to paint up myself.
My first venture into Legion.

Thanks gents!

Today 12 more troopers. I now have all my regular stormtroopers painted. Three squads plus specialists in total, that can also be played as four squads.

Pushing on with the Empire. The AT-ST was the last missing piece for my 800 points „starter army“. Not sure how valid the list is, but the AT-ST is iconic and should be fun.

 The cabin is not glued on for ease of storage. As an added bonus the „head“ can be turned to face menacingly in the right direction.

Is the base texture straight out of a pot?

That desert tone works great on the AT-ST. I still got one of the Bandai kits to build, great inspiration (although I will probably go with the canon grey, but I'll try to emulate that smooth sheen).

Thank you! And yes, that’s GW agrellan earth over black primer. I sometimes paint on matt varnish to make it stick better, depending on how the cracks come out. After experimenting with washes and drybrushing I found it not worth the extra effort (and washes sometimes creep under the texture and loosen it).

Next up some quick and dirty death troopers. I also painted some characters, Palpatine, the alternate Vader model and general Veers. Palpatine and Vader are probably a missed opportunity to paint better blacks, but I enjoyed painting Veers.

Next up: imperial royal guard. I love the Legion figures, but these are probably my least favourite. For starters some visible areas are hard to reach underneath even without a base. In hindsight I should have used black primer with white zenithal. The other thing is that I couldn’t get the weapons straight. Maybe I should have used more heat? At least I could set them up so it’s not visible on the photo.

Next reinforcements: Imperial special forces / inferno squad, Iden Verso with ID10, and Bossk, who was a joy to paint.

And a TX-225 tank. A bit strange to those who like me grew up with episodes IV-VI being I-III, but still a nice model.

Cracking!

Really loving Star Wars again after watching the Mandalorian and re-watching the Clone Wars, was left very much disappointed with the recent trilogy (though I thoroughly enjoyed both Rogue One and Solo).

Your minis are excellent.

+1 to everything!

New trilogy = not my taste, imo far far worse than ep. I-III
Soloe + Rogue One = Ace
Nick‘s models = fabulutastic!

Not the best of pictures, but with the year drawing to a close it was time to take a look where I‘m at with this years Imperial painting spree.
