Starting my legion painting thread. I’m still fairly new to painting, did a few Armada ships and dove headlong into Runewars ever since it released, so I’ve been actively painting a little over a year.

I’m using legion to hone my airbrushing, so I’ve started with just base coating and minimal color work on my imperials with an airbrush.

Here they are so far. I’ll be switching over to brush work now to add silver and red accents.

You've got some Storm Commandos on your speeder bikes there...

I got inspired by the crashed tie fighters, so I got one for myself. It still needs painting, but here’s the model before and after.

Sorry for the low quality pictures, light sucks in my house.

now back to painting shadow troopers.

[C3POFETT 833]

Good job on the troopers, It also looks like you have almost a tables worth of terrain from just one Tie Fighter.

[Jukey 1,257]

First squad done, besides the special troopers, Vader is done except for basing. 

[DuckBoie1620 4]

Thats dope I like what u did with the tie fighter. Some bad *** terrain. 

[Alino 244]

Looks really good. I do have to ask though - How do you plan to go about painting Deathtroopers when they're eventually released?

[Jukey 1,257]

If krennics death troopers show up in the game, they’ll just be black and silver, no red....or maybe all red, but then I’ll have trouble when snoakes royal guard come out lol.

Oh actually what if you did like reverse colors? With the red as the main and black as the secondary?

[C3POFETT 833]

Really like the outside of the box paint scheme you used on Vader. He compliments your troopers very well.

Digging the skull on the troopers base.

Doing my friends troopers for him with a really dirty look (which is good because black on white does not forgive errors!). Eventually I’ll get his and mine done...

I love this.

Yeah, I’ve painted the Imperial Assault core set (9 stormtroopers) and now I’m working on this and I can tell you that the stormtroopers always kill me.  Every miniature I’ve painted that’s not a stormtrooper at the end I say “yeah!  That’s not perfect but I like it!”  The Stormtroopers it’s like “... damnit.”  I don’t have a single one I’m really happy with.

Great tie fighter. What did you do to create the damaged parts? Bend, break, melt?

I took a pliers and wire clippers and a hack-saw to it. The bases are hot glue

I would suggest putting paint over the sand for the terrain pieces, it makes it look better on the tabletop, and makes it less likely to shed or sandpaper your minis if you bump them around a bit on the table.

Just primed it last night, it’ll match my troopers terrain. 

[Jukey 1,257]

More work done, all my friends dirty troopers in front and my 3 squads in back plus Vader. I still need to base most of them.

[BigBadAndy 640]

I like the white E-11 blasters on some of your friend’s dirty stormtroopers.

[Jukey 1,257]

Finished up Destro...err.. I mean Veers.

I didn’t really want to attempt skin shading, so just went for a samurai face. His stiff robotic pose was also asking for a metal face.

He makes quite an impression standing in the skull.  

 

[Jukey 1,257]

Wow! Nicely done! What did you use to tear that TIE apart like this?
