SW Legion 212th Recon Division

I always loved the iconic look and colour scheme of the clone troopers of the 212th Recon Division and wanted to use them in my games of SW Legion.

Recently I stumbled upon Darkfire Designs and their Gumroad page

https://gumroad.com/darkfiredesigns

where they sell STL files (also presupported) for a large variety of Legion minis. So I started my freshly bought Photon S and gave it a shot.

The bases were also printed and I used the one from AirborneElmo on thingiverse, which I think are the best designed amongst all the legion bases:

Paint on markings with GW Averland Sunset and Highlight with GW Yriel Yellow

Paint GW Contrast Black Templar into the visor (makes it easier not to overpaint the goggle rims) You can apply it to the undergarment areas to get deeper shadows if you like.

Thanks for reading and happy painting!

Until next time!
