Makwiesel 182 Posted August 27, 2019 I love the game Legion and am avidly collecting the Imperials and the Rebels as you can see from my other posts here... but I thought I just am not seeing enough GREEN in the universe- and since I once shared a flight with Daisy Ridley I want to make her happy... so I am building out a full Rodian Rebel army as a swap in for my standard Rebel army when I feel a little like shooting not first. I still went out and bought all the legit Legion models because I like them and because you kind of have to support the game to keep the game around, but here is the first work in progress shot- my Rodian stand-ins for Luke, Rebel Troopers, a Command Sniper team, and a pair of Tauntaun Riders... I give you... 10 1 wintermoonwolf, Kwatchi, Welshie13 and 8 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asvaldir 82 Posted August 27, 2019 Nice, I like the theme of one group of aliens forming their own rebel company. Does Daisy Ridley have some special love for Rodians? 1 Makwiesel reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makwiesel 182 Posted August 27, 2019 Rodian Desert Raiders Army List: Commander: Deredo Neff, Force hunter (plays as Luke Skywalker) Corps: Desert Raiders 1 (plays as Rebel Troopers plus Z-6 Gunner) Desert Raiders 2 (plays as Rebel Troopers plus extra soldier and Z-6 Gunner) Desert Raiders 3 (plays as Rebel Troopers plus Medic and Z-6 Gunner) Desert Raiders 5 (plays as Rebel Troopers plus Astromech and Ion Gunner with targeting scopes) Desert Raiders 6 (plays as Rebel Troopers plus extra soldier with targeting scopes) Support: Bado Runner Riders (plays as Tauntaun Riders with Comms Jammer) Bado Runner Riders (plays as Tauntaun Riders) Elites: Crag Crawlers 1 (Plays as Commando Strike Team with Sniper Rifle) Crag Crawlers 2 (Plays as Commando Strike Team with Sniper Rifle) Yeah yeah they probably suck but they're going to look cool!

Who knows what she likes.. I'm just going of her statement "I didn't know there was this much GREEN in the whole Galaxy!" I figure not all armies are total mix-ups and wanted to give one a try that isn't humans... plus I juct can't see my Tauntauns going into the desert...

BigBadAndy 640 Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) So @Makwiesel how are you making these? Are they kit bashed from something or did you sculpt them? 3D printed? Edited August 30, 2019 by BigBadAndy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makwiesel 182 Posted August 30, 2019 Hey BigBadAndy, SO I went to Heroforge.com and built out a set of I think it was about 9 different models with weapons from their selection that matched closest to the Rebel Troopers weapons, and I bought all those models as Downloads. I took the downloads and went to Thingiverse to get a Rodian head, some helmets and other bits, and digitally kitbashed them in Autodesk Netfab. From there I grouped them into squad-sized printable sets and 3d printed them on my Anycubic Photon resin 3d printer. I have a big army of them now and am just starting to pain them up! 1 L_A_D reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makwiesel 182 Posted August 31, 2019 I have printed out the whole starting army. I need to go in and start adding other cool units BUT I want to get these ones at least started with paint first... 5 RuusMarev, L_A_D, SFC Snuffy and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makwiesel 182 Posted September 16, 2019 OK so I finally got to start laying out basic colors for the whole force this weekend... so much detailing left to do but at least now when I look at them on the table I don't cry... I SWEAR those droid heads are NOT PINK. I will darken them immediately to ensure they never get taken for being accidentally pink! 3 1 ArcticJedi, miridor, SFC Snuffy and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArcticJedi 154 Posted October 10, 2019 THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING! I love the theme. While I'm not a huge fan of Rodians in particular, I love how you took a theme and stuck with it. I especially loved the Hero Conversions. I'm assuming that the large robot is Chewbacca, the one with the pistols is Han, and that Leia is the female one? Please tell me if I made a mistake on these. Also, is Sabine the little one? Love the project, -Arctic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
