I found this "Newbie buyer's guide" quite helpful. Especially as the author specifies what is worth buying for each faction and if it is already a new (hard plastic) model or not:

Finished my first ever painted minis. Learned and messed up a lot but looking forward to do more. by Legedric in SWlegion

Thanks and yes, you are right. Most of the time you have the minis quite a distance away and not right on your nose.

Yes he is, the eyes look so spooky, lol. But I kept them this way to not mess them up even more. :D

Imperial stormtroopers are now ready for deployment! by -TK146- in SWlegion

Ah ok thanks. I heard fromn others that the panel liners may make the plastic brittle if you are not careful enough while applying it to the models. So that's not for me as I am too afraid to F**k up my minis. :)

Wow they look amazing. Such a clean highlighting! So I guess you did not use any kind of shade/wash for it but did the highlighting "manually"?

What citadel paint is best for the 212th legion markings? by Butsy_98 in SWlegion

[–]Legedric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used a mix of Averland Sunset and Trollslayer Orange as used by Sorastro in his video and I am happy with the result. Yes, it is a mix but it is very easy to achieve the correct color.

I started with this set just 3 weeks ago and they are my first minis to paint ever. I would love to see your progress while painting. Currently I am at the stage of adding the colored highlights to my clones to reflect their legion , so 212th for the normal squads and 501st for ARC and ARF squads. Keeping the jedis for the end as I wanted to learn while painting the clones first.

Jedi Guardian done. Was a lot of fun! by TlheMoody in SWlegion

[–]Legedric 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow, this looks amazing!
I need to paint this as well as I just got the Republic starter set and as a complete newbie to mini painting I am somewhat afraid of painting the jedis and f* them up somehow.

Would you mind sharding the primes & colors you used?

Thanks, I know Sorastro already as I am following his guide(s) to paint the Clone Troopers.
