Star Wars: Legion Weekend Completed! (plus some prizes)

7 Comments

That’s it for a glorious weekend of hobbying friends. We’ve had a great time in the studio spending time with our community members and hearing from you at home. For five lucky hobbyists here we have some prizes to reward some of the stand out moments for the weekend from teaching people to play games to just been the loveliest people to be around.

It’s been a packed weekend where we have talked about 3D printing and the benefits between FDM and resin 3D printers for terrain and models. We’ve filmed a few tutorials talking about airbrushing. We’ve had livestreams where we painting U-Wings, constructed bases for Ewoks and assembled buildings. We hope you’ve enjoyed all of our content which you can find on the liveblog!

Finally a big thanks from everyone on the team for tuning in, whether it was commenting on the live blog, taking part with your own Star Wars: Legion projects at home or joining us on our livestreams. Hope you all enjoy the new Star Wars movie (and the new episode of The Mandalorian).

May the force be with you!

Creating The Perfect Scenario For Our Gaming Tables

3 Comments

Two of our hobbyists have been setting up a very interesting looking game on our Skellig table.

Dan and Nick are chomping at the bit to throw their armies out on the table but they’ve also constructed a really cool scenario for the table which involves capturing the central bridge. The Imperial side has a few manoeuvrable units that can cross the river in the centre so it will be interesting to see how this one turns out.

Warren and Gerry sit down to talk about the 3D printed Ewok force and the rules that Gerry has been coming up for them.

The regular Ewok force can be found in little squadrons of three for that beautiful swarm effect. There are also gliders to drop rocks on AT-STs.

Somebody Painted Their Freakin Baby Yoda!

1 Comment

Cuteness personified. Eater of frogs. Leader of the free worlds. Baby Yoda has come to stand for all that is good and holy in this world despite all that might drag us down. Of the figures who have united us this year (like the goose) one slightly tip toes above the rest.

Having given out baby Yoda figures last night to attendees someone has gone and painted him up. Adorable! However, our attendees have been doing loads of other hobby work that deserves recognition!

Every Stormtrooper in Star Wars Explained By Lucasfilm | WIRED

4 Comments

Hey all, this video from WIRED popped up in my YouTube feed last night. It’s pretty cool watching for those of you working on imperial or First Order armies.

As the title suggests every trooper type in the Star Wars saga is showcased, it a great way to get some miniature painting ideas.

Join Justin For His Sunday Morning Build Stream

4 Comments

The people have decided!! Justin will now build the hanger on stream. And if time permits he will also blast through the guild hall.

You can join the stream to encourage the egg at your leisure. What kind of game would you love to see the hanger in? Would you use it as a location for objectives? Or would you subvert the build and blast a hole through the side so it becomes an epic set piece for your army to roll through?

A Real Stand Out Group Of Rebels

1 Comment

Tony has been quietly industrious in a corner of the hobby hall and produced a beautiful collection of Rebel Alliance figures.

In a gorgeous forest green they’d be right at home on Endor provoking the imperial pigdogs of the empire. Having finished his rebel force he’s now moving on to his Imperial army which we’re looking forward to seeing tomorrow!

Some Quiet Time For Warren & Gerry To Paint The Thala-Siren

6 Comments

Thankfully the butterfly hobbyist within Warren has settled down enough to continue work on the beautiful Thala-Siren model made for us by John Haywood of Hayland Terrain.

Using a combination of sprays and water to reactivate the paints and guide it into the crevices of the mini it has turned into a quick paint job but a striking figure altogether.

Airbrush Master Dan Continues Work On His Downed AT-ST

1 Comment

Dan has continued work on his lovely downed AT-ST model.

Fresh from his airbrush masterclass from Jedi Master John, Dan has started laying out the base work on his model with reds and yellows combining to lovely effect. Hopefully John will have this rolling out on our Geonosis table tomorrow for a game or two.

You Decide What Justin Builds Tomorrow On Stream

7 Comments

Justin has so far put together two of the buildings from the Knights of Dice but he doesn’t know which one to start off with on stream tomorrow morning.

There are a couple sheds but the real interest is between the hanger and the guild hall buildings. Let us know down in the comments which you think he should build first!

The Results of John's U-Wing Painting Stream

5 Comments

John locked himself in a room with some paints and a U-Wing: the result is pretty impressive.

On our livestream today John was joined by fine folks all across the interwebs to share in his hobby time. Having completed the model to his satisfaction, Warren stepped in and added a few more steps to proceedings with some great weathering to the model.

This won’t be the last time you see this U-Wing as there might be some more steps to apply tomorrow!

Can’t wait for it to start. I got my star wars stuff but not sure I’ll get much done; not the best weekend but will follow as best I can

I watched part 3 today. There are so many different sceneries on different planets in the order 66 sequence. So there are a lot of ways to tell the story
