Far from being anywhere near Agis' fine SW Legion miniatures, but I will give them a try anyway. This is my first squad of Rebel Troopers:

They sure are a good-looking collection of assorted Rebel trash, I have been thinking of getting some imperials, but the price seems quite high. Do you think they're worth it?

Michi,
Fantastic painting, as always!

I've been resisting getting into SW minis but...
Are the Legion minis hard or soft plastic?

Thank you all for the kind comments!

Tom, these are somewhere in between, a rather soft hard plastic, I'd say. I bends rather than breaks, but isn't actually the soft plastic of toy soldiers.
The price is way too high for my wallet. I guess they could be much cheaper due to the numbers of them being produced (even with licensing still considered), but the market allows such steep prices (look at GW and others who sell single miniatures for the price of a pack of 5 miniatures from reasonable lead casters.

That's what I'm worried about, I don't think my painting skills are enough to make any amount of SWL Troops worth the money.

Lovely miniatures there! Hope to see more SWL from you. Did you get 3D printed extra heads or swapped with multiple sets?

While they are more expensive than most historicals, they are nowhere near GW pricing. For me they are well with it with nice sculpts, good quality and you get markers and unit cards with them, too. Newer models are “true” hard plastics which makes them even better.

You will, I am painting right now.
The Duros heads are head swaps from other sets of rebels from the core game box. I also swapped other heads and arms for variety.

Post by: Warboss Nick on November 11, 2020, 03:55:16 PM
With multiple sets you just have to make those swaps for variety. That’s limited poses are one of the drawbacks (at least for rebels), it can be dealt with. I was just surprised by the number of duros heads.

New year, new deeds: I painted two more squad of rebel alliance infantry and the walker from the core game. The walker was not correctly assembled and is facing upwards now to practice some anti-aircraft reconnaissance... :D

With the year coming to an end it is time to show you what I did to push this little project a bit in the right direction. I bet most of you are used to what happens to wargamers and painters when new shiny things appear on the horizon, but I didn't forget about those SW Legion minis and finally got to painting the rebel specialists before Christmas...

Actually they originated from Return of the Jedi. There were two in Jabba's palace on Tattooine: Oola (female dancer) and Bib Fortuna (male majordomus). I've seen a lot of cosplayers, but apart from the remastered ROTJ with an additional singer/dancer in Jabba's palace and those blue twins in the pod race pit in Phantom Menace there are only animated ones, I think.

Actually they originated from Return of the Jedi. There were two in Jabba's palace on Tattooine: Oola (female dancer) and Bib Fortuna (male majordomus). I've seen a lot of cosplayers, but apart from the remastered ROTJ with an additional singer/dancer in Jabba's palace and those blue twins in the pod race pit in Phantom Menace there are only animated ones, I think.

They also feature in an episode of The Mandalorian (season1; chapter 6). There's a complete list of their appearances over here: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Twi'lek?so=search#Appearances (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Twi'lek?so=search#Appearances)

In the Book of Boba trailers there looks to be a Twi'lek with a bright yellow hide.

Right, the first episode already showed another one, the lackey of Mos Espa's mayor.

It was January 2021 when I posted my first painted miniatures last year. Those were rebels for Star Wars Legion. The last miniatures in December 2021 were also of that kind and I decided that 2022 should commence just alike. Here is a squad of Rebel Commandos:

Niiice, I painted that squad myself a while back - they're a great squad to do aren't they? So simple with their black, blue and grey. Putting gloss varnish on the visors is a really good touch.

Post by: Muzfish4 on January 14, 2022, 02:20:54 AM
Great work - they really do look the business with your very distinctive painting style. I also used gloss varnish on the helmets for my dudes.

I should also say your photography is tip-top as well.

On the table they can be pretty effective - especially on smaller boards, e.g. 500 pt games, as they throw out a lot of firepower (albeit white dice) but over a shorter range. Always a bit of fun, these chaps but with white defensive dice they die like, well, Rebels.

Today I present my first miniatures for Star Wars Legion, which don't originate from George Lucas'  classic movie trilogy, but from the prequel Rogue One where the Death Star plans were captured by the rebels. Here are two of the main acquisitors:
Captain Cassian Andor and the re-programmed imperial droid K2-SO.

Three princesses today - well, actually the same one, but in different outfits.
Decide for yourselves which one you like best to meet on a gaming table...

They are in the same scale of course, but made differently:
The (officially sold for SW Legion under her name) military style clad Leia on the left is an injection molded multipart miniature made of plastic and glued together. The one in the middle is a 3D-print made of resin and the princess on the right is a resin cast by Brother Vinni:
