Star Wars Legion - Stormtroopers Part 3

Working on some shading. This may take a while!

Star Wars Legion - Stormtroopers Part 2

Well, the motivation for starting off Star Wars Legion with the Stormtroopers was because I thought it would be a 3 colour job. Hell, this is taking forever! It doesn't help I'm taking on 2 squads though.

Base colours are now complete... they look pretty good... I think they will look amazing when done. I'm following Sorastro's YouTube video for inspiration.

My only complaint is that Vallejo's Heavy Orange is turning out to be Heavy Creamsicle. I don't know how I can possibly shake it any more... I might have gotten a bum bottle maybe. I had to depend on FW Daler-Rowney Orange Ink... we'll see how that change turns out.

Star Wars Legion - Stormtroopers

I started these models over a year ago - Blackstone Fortress got in the way - and it's time to go back to them. Now I remember why I stopped... such monotony. And why am I doing two squads at a time? Because I'm a sucker for painting burnout! Thank goodness for Netflix while I paint!

Airbrushing Blackstone Fortress - Core Box Complete!

Wow! It almost took me a full year, but it's done! All the core models have been painted!

Here's a summary of my favourite to least favourites to paint.

I still have some Escalation models to paint, but I'm going to reserve that for when I finish the game and move on.

For my next project, I need to complete some stormtroopers for Star Wars Legion that I started last year!

1. Pious Vorne (sorry for the over-exposure)... loved doing the flames with the airbrush!

2. Janus Draik... his details are amazing

3. Amallyn Shadowguide... Just because I'm an eldar fanatic

4. Taddeus the Purifier... I was happy with the details and the whites turned out pretty good!

5. Rein and Raus... I think because they went super quick and they were the first heroes I did.

6. Beastmen... the drybrushing turned out awesome!

7. Ur-ghuls... the first baddies I did and I enjoyed the easiness of painting this plus the purple hands.

8. UR-025... I just love his orange hand... great complimentary colour scheme.

9. The two squads of Traitor Guardsmen... Took the longest, but lots of dark washes to make them look really drab!

10. Espern Locarno... I thought the purples would turn out better but I think it was just my beef and my edge highlighting was a bit too chunky for my liking.

11. Rogue Psykers... Just two models so it wasn't that bad.

12. Obsidious Mallex... Not a Chaos fan... but my blacks turned out okay I guess.

13. Chaos Space Marines... same as Mallex

14. Spindle Drones... too spindly

15. Dahyak Grekh... it was a pretty boring model and I made it too orky

16. Negavolt Cultists... the. absolute. worst. And I screwed up a great skin tone by using the totally wrong wash. I hated painting them so much that I just didn't care. They're boss in the game though.

And... here's the whole hero gang together:

I started this guy last night but my phone died just as I was taking an in-progress photo.

I put it off until the end because I dreaded painting him but he ended up being one of my favourites to paint!
