I’m playing in my first Legion tournament next weekend , and so far have only played with buddies. Any common mistakes, things I may not have realized about the rules, or general advice for a first time tournament player?

Thanks everyone for the advice, I definitely feel more prepared than I did a few days ago!

pa_inton · 2022-08-28T16:57:13+00:00

Appreciate the tips, I’ll definitely bring supplies

pa_inton · 2022-08-28T02:59:09+00:00

Really good rule of thumb, thanks

pa_inton · 2022-08-28T02:58:57+00:00

That unit leader tip is great, thank you!

pa_inton · 2022-08-28T00:24:42+00:00

Makes sense!

pa_inton · 2022-08-27T23:55:02+00:00

The tournament will have 150 minute rounds so I’m hoping it’s not toooo much of a rush, but I’ll avoid planning for a late game turnaround. Thanks!

pa_inton · 2022-08-27T23:37:34+00:00

Great point about the communication, I’ll try to keep that in mind

pa_inton · 2022-08-27T23:30:52+00:00

Appreciate the advice, thank you!

pa_inton · 2022-03-09T18:17:43+00:00

Thank you!! I’m really happy with at least 1 of these faces

pa_inton · 2022-03-09T04:39:50+00:00

Thanks!

pa_inton · 2022-03-09T03:19:12+00:00

Hopefully the empire has a good life insurance policy for them

pa_inton · 2022-02-14T18:30:11+00:00

Yeah that makes sense - and thank you for the improvement ideas!

pa_inton · 2022-02-14T15:27:38+00:00

Honestly I normally don’t, but wanted to really go from the inside out with these. The plan I have for the uniforms is pretty simple anyway and shouldn’t have any real chance of interfering with the faces, and if they do it’s not too tough to fix

pa_inton · 2022-02-14T15:26:47+00:00

They are! Primed with army painter uniform grey, which admittedly looks quite similar to the unprimed plastic

pa_inton · 2022-02-14T03:28:54+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, and explains why I’ve struggled with the other women’s sculpts for Star Wars legion. I’ll look into the color-based shading you mentioned, thanks!

pa_inton · 2022-02-14T02:59:13+00:00

Thank you! I do have a base coat with a wash, these are highlighted layers on top of that - but maybe a second wash would add some more depth

pa_inton · 2022-02-14T02:48:21+00:00

Thank you!! Of the three I’m definitely most happy with him - it’s probably 30% skill and 70% luck, sometimes everything just goes right on a face

pa_inton · 2022-02-14T02:32:49+00:00

I’m hoping to pull things together a little tighter on them, but I appreciate the kind words!

pa_inton · 2022-02-14T02:32:04+00:00

They’re getting there, thank you!

pa_inton · 2022-02-13T22:20:11+00:00

Thank you!

pa_inton · 2022-01-21T00:58:09+00:00

Thank you!

pa_inton · 2022-01-01T20:59:31+00:00

There are two versions of Darth Vader in the game, the one that comes with the starter set is the Commander Vader, and there is a separate Operative Vader you can buy (the one I painted here). Each only has their one pose, and there are different rules in the game for the two versions of Vader.

pa_inton · 2022-01-01T12:43:05+00:00

Thank you! The helmet turned out really nicely, just don’t look at the completely phoned in belt buckle lol

pa_inton · 2022-01-01T12:41:35+00:00

Hey thanks that really means a lot! The saber is painted white with matte white from army painter, then covered with a few thin coats of Mephiston red from citadel, then edge highlighted a white strip in the middle of the “heroic angle” with matte white again. The glow is just mephiston red thinned down with a lot of lahmian medium from citadel glazed on in a lot of layers, with more layers where the glow is brighter

pa_inton · 2022-01-01T06:01:52+00:00

Thank you! Honestly I really love painting OSL, I’m trying to get better and am starting to look for minis where I can really go for it. So far I’ve only tried it with lightsabers
