  • Star Wars Legion Speederbikes

    Some of the oldest figures I have had for the game (they came with the initial starter box) is the unit of Speederbikes. After all this time, I managed to finally give them a proper coat of paint, without covering the transparent post. Paint method is very similar to my scout trooper process (Apothecary White,…

  • Legion Painting, Part 2

    A second set of painted figured, working quickly thru my Empire backlog. First up is the Emperor and his Royal Guard. Nice and simple, only two or three colors and nothing fancy. Flesh-tearer Red and Black Templar for the Guard, and Black Templar, Wyldwood, and Plaguebearer Flesh for the Emperor. Also managed to finish up…

  • Legion painting

    Been doing a bit of painting recently, trying out a few new techniques, and managed to finish up a number of Empire units. First and most importantly is finally painting Darth Vader. Especially for how simple the color scheme is, I really should have done this one much earlier. Primary color is just a basic…

  • Drybrushes

    On the topic of painting, I have been recently working on improving my painting techniques. In general, I use Citadel Contrast Paints for most (or even all) the basic colors on my miniatures – they work well and make the process quick. They are not necessarily competition level, but certainly very good for tabletop games,…

  • Fleet Troopers

    Got inspired over the weekend and worked on painting up my Rebel Fleet Troopers. Overall, I am rather happy with them. I also spent some side time to film the various stages, I am working on video content for that as well, if I can settle on a format that I am comfortable with –…

  • Wraithbone Alternatives

    In an effort to find a more cost-effective base coat paint for use with Contrast paints, we spent some time this weekend finding several similar shades of spray paint to the official Citadel Wraithbone. At this point, I have an official can, and 3 alternatives ranging from 50% to 75% cheaper. Assuming they work and…

  • Swoop Riders

    Experimenting with some new video formats, specifically focusing on miniature assembly and painting processes. Not sure how much I will stick with it, or if I will even like the format, but with the new Swoop Riders for Star Wars Legion, I am giving some time to the effort. My basic plan is to assemble…

  • Giant Centipedes

    After a short break, we had another session of the Carrion Crown campaign, with the group continuing thru the Shudderwood. As partially expected, the group was highly resistant to the concept of running when faced with overwhelming odds, so stalled out a bit with a horde of werewolves in the forest. As a result, more…
