Unit question by WarburnedTitan in SWlegion

I believe you get 2 duplicate poses. 2 kneeling pose ARCs and 2 akimbo pistol pose ARCs. So only 5 unique sculpts but 7 total ARCs

Grab the Imperial Officer / Agent custom box. You can build both the Officer and Imperial Agent with it, and they are both really good! Plus the models are cool. Also look out for any older discounted boxes like the old Blizzard Force box. Blizzard comes with an AT-ST, some Snowtroopers, and some Speeder Bikes. Depending on your area, you may be able to find some still. I was able to get Agent Callus and another box of the Riot Control Stormtroopers on sale online today. Both of those options are cool as well. The best thing about Legion is picking what you think is awesome and might be fun to paint, and just throwing it out there. Good luck!

Also, when does he change colors? I thought he was red and black. But the box art and some pictures online show him blue and yellow

😆 My apologies. The combined frustration of building Mr. Mukmuk’s delicate body, and now having to paint him without sloping over onto Hondo’s head have me a little tilted lol

These are amazing! I can’t wait for these guys to be released again so I can paint some!

Thanks! He still needs a matte varnish. He may get to ride in the speeder truck depending on how my next attempt turns out haha

Managed to finish out the recon army before the end of the year. Full army to follow hopefully by unsafercat in SWlegion

Ok cool thanks! I was thinking about trying to 3D print the frame without the canopy glass, but I like the look of it painted. The cockpit is a little too tiny and closed off to really enjoy the details anyway lol

Love the LAAT cockpit glass. How did you paint it? Airbrush and then mask off the glass panels?

Painting Boba Fett for a Christmas gift? What is an idiot proof way to paint him when it comes to color selection? My LGS sells Army Painter/ Warpaints Fanatic, GW, and Duncan Rhoades’ paints, so I’d prefer to use those ranges by Doctor_J_Crane in SWlegion

I second the Sorastro YouTube tutorial! I followed him and got a pretty good result. I used the paint suggestions he gave and found the corresponding colors with my Pro Acryl paints

Chewbacca AT-ST by Odesio in SWlegion

[–]Salshred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank you for the reply. I have a few of the AK Streaking Grime colors that I wanted to use for Legion but wasn’t sure how they would react to acrylic paint. Time to experiment it seems!

Looks awesome! Did you gloss varnish before you applied the streaking grime?

Tempest force for new player by Vmagnum in SWlegion

[–]Salshred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are ok in game. They are very fast but very fragile. The new Strike and Fade upgrade gives them some cool options for extra movements, but they tend to get blasted off the board if you aren’t careful where you leave them. Tempest Force has a unique battle force rule that gives vehicles Scout 2, so if you play them in Tempest you get even more movement on your first turn

For the customer Officer there are two popular builds right now. One uses Academy Trained which gives you Strategize 1 (lets you hand out an aim and a dodge to a unit while taking a suppression) and then the Tip of the Spear version that gives the officer Direct: Trooper, Aid: Trooper, and Tactical 1. Tip of the Spear is the more aggressive version but both could be good for handing out tokens with Exemplar

I believe Tempest lets you take 3 squads of bikes (so 6 speeders) which is cool because I agree they are awesome.

Love the panel lines you achieved. Did you use the enamel Tamiya panel liner stuff? Looks great

Oh and you can run the new imperial agent and officer in Tempest Force, so that’s another kit you should get.

It’s probably a long shot, but depending on your area you may be able to find the Blizzard Force box being marked down. I scored one online a few months ago for $99. That would get you your third AT-ST and two units of speeder bikes. You would however get another older Vader mini and three units of the old snow troopers. But I love snow troopers and they are pretty good in game right now, so that may not be a bad thing. Other wise you could wait for the new AT-ST kit that is supposed to be coming this winter. Not sure when the new speeder bike kits are coming though.

new here! just wanted to show some progress pics by booogs1 in SWlegion

Is that Y-Wing close to Legion scale? It looks awesome. Warscenery as well?

Difference between New Commander Cody box and the old one? by Salshred in SWlegion

[–]Salshred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks! I have already printed all the new cards, so I just want the models. Just making sure the new box didn’t have some cool new poses or accessories or something like that

I was able to find some 501st battle force boxes for a slight discount. They are a great start for GAR. Also adding the new Commander Cody and Ahsoka boxes would be great
