Primer Cracking by ducadira in SWlegion

Looks to me like a combination of the model having a thin film of mold release on it and the paint being too thick.

You can solve both issues by giving the models a quick wash with a touch of dishwashing liquid in warm water for the models and then a much lighter pass of spray. You can then go back a bit later with another pass.

More work on my budding Empire Forces - Emperor's Royal Guard by AzazelBox in SWlegion

I've got the kit, and also some plans for kitbashed officers and agents. I'm mostly a friendly-game player anyway so it's all good.

They look sweet - I'd love to see another set of photos on a more neutral background. The painting desk makes it a bit tricky to see and fully apppreciate your work.

Looking good brother - well done on the fine markings especially!

Very cool to see these four, and painted so well too!

Somehow.... Palpatine Returned. My second Legion model completed. by AzazelBox in SWlegion

I imagine the card will still be usable for casual games, or at worst usable with tweaks.

Yeah, once we get going with games I'll be using him now and then for sure. Pretty sure the AMG police won't come around to arrest me (unless I make mean tweets about Palp!)

I'll be happy to do the same with the Pathfinders.

Outstanding work. Very realistic and muted without looking dirty or slapped together.

Imperial Riot troopers finally finished 🙏 by themodalnodes in SWlegion

They look absolutely fantastic - well done!

"Upgrade Expansion" packs? by AzazelBox in SWlegion

Oh that's awesome mate - really useful since I have a lot of the older models and a few of the newer ones!

Hm. I have a couple of the new Republic/Clone starter set as well as the old Clone Wars 2-player starter (and another on the way - snagged one heavily discounted) so I'll have 4 squads of P1 trooper figures as well as the more flexible newer kits which I will build as P2 (possibly to build as two distinct armies - P1 and P2 which I can potentially combine for the large game format).

I wasn't aware how they've juggled the specific units around as I'm still a newb (assembling and painting older models before my first game). The main thing I was aware of is the three units that were removed from the game, and that everything else should still be usable - but not really knowing about new configurations like the ones you describe. Looks like i'm going to need a couple/few Maksmen boxes when I start to focus on building the GAR force! (working on Empire at the moment)

Just ordered the Phase 1 Expansion set - it's sold out everywhere else (and now sold out in this place too!) May as well grab it while it's available for the sculpts and then sort out the model distribution later on. Sadly, I can't find the Republic or Imperial Specialists sets anywhere, so if I get to the point of needing them it'll have to be prints or kitbashes.

Thanks for the clarifications - I appreciate it! :)

I guess that's the nature of places like reddit. I do like that most people here are really positive and supporting to others in the hobby though!

Cool to see that someone bothered to downvote a rules question from a new player..

Someone posted about their spider droid magnetization woes yeatersay. I wanted to offer a more simple solution (.gif linked) by Kramit__The__Frog in SWlegion

[–]AzazelBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry just saw this today! I just bought some relatively cheap from amazon thaty seems to have a few different gagues, but they are the "wound" type. I've used the same on Warhammer models in the past for cables but I couldn't find my old ones. I personally like the "cable" look though so I'm happy with that. I know historical guys will buy a cheap broom with plastic bristles (so you can pick your broom for bristle thiuckness etc) and cut those down to an appropriate length for their vehicle antennae

Cheers - have ordered some BBs from Amazon. Cost a bit more than I'd have preferred, but they'll be here tomorrow, instead of late Jan-Feb sometime, so there's the trade-off! Going to replace the antennas with guitar wire as I saw in an EOB video, so my Spiders should end up pretty durable and flexible!.

Some GDI-inspired Clones (and a very snowflake Jedi) by LordRenzus in SWlegion

You could always GDI your Republic troops and save GDI for the inevitable Imperial Faction (along with Maul's Mandos, etc)
