Continuing with the painting theme, I finally finished up a model I have had for a very long time – the Rebel Landspeeder. This is one of my first Legion units, back when I first started collecting, and one I was very interested in painting. But I never really had a strong vision for it, especially with the coloration of the crew. Now that I am focused on my Rebels, and have settled on a Desert Camo pallet, this was a much easier decision. I do still want to add a bit more detail or interest to the base, and…

Second stage of painting, continuing my units of Rebel Troopers and Veterans. I also tackled Jyn Erso and an R5 astromech droid, all necessary for my current skirmish force. In the process, I discovered that one unit I thought I had, I actually did not – the Rebel Commandos were apparently hiding better than I thought. For this pass, most of the figures received the skin tone, plus highlights for under shirts, along with some touch ups. Mainly for ease during the game, I separated from the color scheme to highlight the helmets per unit color, with units with red,…

Continuing my painting efforts, and working on a mass set of Rebel troopers and veterans. First set is one of the Trooper units, but I painted up 20+ figures at the same time for consistency. Color scheme is going with my Desert camo style, to match the intended desert bases, so the uniforms are a shade of Skeleton Horde with Snakebite Leather for the boots and straps, and Black Templar for the weapons and gear. The next layers will be the shirts and skin, along with some other details. Planning to color coordinate each unit, likely with a stripe on…

Been noticing that my YouTube banners for upcoming streams is rather lacking, being just a snapshot of the credits screen. I am definitely not a graphics designer – my artistic skill level is far more engineering based than artistic. However, a boring banner makes for very little interest. Since I can’t really provide a snapshot from the stream before the stream happens, I am trying to liven it up a bit with more color. As such, I reworked the banner somewhat into the shown graphic. This I can update easily for the episode number, and really highlights the actual group.…

Considering signing up for a local Star Wars Legion tournament using Skirmish mechanics and getting out to try some competitive wargames. Never actually have tried this before, beyond friends and family, so a bit of a stretch for me. Of course, I am opting to go entirely new, and play a Rebel army instead of my almost fully painting Separatists – but that will give me motivation to paint more models (painting is optional to play). The event is being held at our local gaming store, Epic Loot Games, as a 6-week competition. Each week, players will be emailed their…

As mentioned before, I am working to increase my live streaming presence, in many cases on Twitch. I have been streaming a number of times recently from my 3d printer, just a steady view of the printer at work with some status graphics – nothing too engaging, but simple to do. Recently, I have been trying to do the same thing with my painting and crafting, just as a way to see what I am working on at a given point. No real particular schedule or even a set plan, but whenever I am working, I figured I might as…

The third model I have been working on painting this week is Darth Maul – a piece that was actually back-ordered for a very long time. I had even gone to the extent of 3d printing a proxy model, though I never ended up painting or using it. The model as pictured isn’t quite finished. Beyond the obvious based that needs to be completed, I still need to paint the tattoo marks on the face and neck, to really fill in the character. Everything else is done, a bit of necromancer cloak on the cloth and matt black on the…

Continuing my recent painting, and opted to spend some time on the old landspeeder. Still have several figures to go on and in the vehicle, but it is nice to finally have paint on this particular model. We decided to apply a snow-theme to all the Rebel bases, so eventually this will actually be more of a snow-speeder (that model is also still waiting), but it is looking pretty good so far.
