As planned, I picked up a set of each of the new Star Wars Legion units, the Republic Clone Commandos and the Imperial Range Troopers. Typical to the packaging, they come as unassembled models, requiring glue, primary, paint and time.
In an effort to fight my backlog, my goal recently has been to acquire, build, paint, and finish each new set the same weekend they arrive, which I have been somewhat successful on. These sets were more of a challenge, given the 11 combined models in the sets. Fortunately however the color schemes are fairly simple – really only 2 main colors on each set and some highlighting – so I ended up spending my Sunday and managed to complete the models. I will be taking some detail shots this week, and will post the final results at that point.
At the same time, my son George is turning into quite the painter himself, and he finished up the Lizardman warband for Mordheim. Very colorful and full of character, and some very impressive details.
