Star Wars Hobby Weekend Live Blog
We're going to be diving into this weekend of Star Wars goodness. At the core of it all, we've got lots of Star Wars: Legion from Fantasy Flight Games in the mix but we're also going to be getting stuck into lots of additional hobby goodness too.

Painting Rebels & Deadly Imperial Minds
Another project we’re looking at comes from @hairybrains who has been painting up some fantastic models. There are plenty of nice pieces in here, some inspired by the work of Sorastro on Youtube and others taking cues from the films and a little bit of a keen eye.
You can follow along with this project HERE and tell us what you make of the work he has been doing.
Painting Project Prowess & Games On The Go
@laughingboy from the community has been working away really hard over the weekend painting up the entire Starter Set for Star Wars: Legion and then managed to dive in and get playing some games too on the tabletop. If you’ve not been able to check out his hard work you can look back over his livestream content HERE.
The lads seemed to have a great time painting and playing and you can see more from the little project HERE.
Visiting The Ewoks - Building An Awesome Forest Moon Of Endor Tabletop
This Forest Moon Of Endor table is the one which makes use of the fantastic terrain from the folks at 4Ground and Battle Kiwi. As you can see it really does look pretty impressive on the table and provides you with the perfect level of diversity when compared against the darker green of the trees.
Since Warren is working away on some great Ewoks for use in the game of Star Wars: Legion it only seemed right that we build a table to match it…or was it the other way around? Either way, we think this is going to be fun to play games on.
Explore A Blasted Warzone - Check Out Our Genonosis Table!
We’ve been getting stuck into all sorts of ideas for this weekend and we wanted to build a table from each of the trilogies. That is where the ideas for our Geonosis table came in, the place where the Clone Wars began and the Republic brought their massive armies (and vehicles) to the tabletop.
We have already had a game played out on this board which features our mighty Juggernaut towering over the battlefield, perhaps broken down and in need of support as the enemy masses from all sides.
Share Your #StarWarsWeekend Projects With Us
As always, some of our community members have been getting stuck in and making projects as they paint up various characters, troops and more from the world of Star Wars.

More Models On The Painting Table
As with the possibilities for gaming, we also have lots of nice chances to get involved and do some hobby too. A lot of folks have got their Starter Sets for both the Original Trilogy and the Prequels and they are getting stuck in painting up all sorts of characters and troops.
We’re seeing people painting up Droids, Clones, Stormtroopers and plenty of characters in the mix too.
People Get Stuck Into Building Their Forces (hah)
So, we’ve got a bunch of Cult Of Games members with us in the studio going through the creation of their armies, be they pesky Rebels or valiant Galactic Empire troops. As well as that you could even find some clones in the mix going up against the forces of the Separatists.
Taking To Some Glorious Tabletops - Ahch-To Reimagined
We’re going to be taking you around some of the awesome tables that we’ve created for this Star Wars: Legion Hobby Weekend. The first of these is a reimagined Ahch-To that you might remember from The Last Jedi.
We decided to try and bring together an image of the planet if the Galactic Empire or First Order had managed to track down the Jedi Master. What planets would you like to change up to tell a different story?
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
Yeah Weekend! 8)
Looking forward to seeing some more great Space Opera today, great job so far!
I’m bummed out, as I’m still waiting on my Star Wars Hobby Weekend Package from Coleraine Ireland to arrive here in Kansas. ?

Hopefully, it will arrive tomorrow or the next day, (Monday or Tuesday).
