About the Project

When I started collecting Star Wars Legion miniatures I approached it in the same way I do historical collections. I used a very nice book of the costumes used in the films as a guide for my painting. Whats interesting is how the colours of some costumes look different on film then they do in real life and some of the details that you can easily miss. I've two starwars projects so I'm cancelling this one.

Shore Troopers

Probably the most colorful variant of stormtrooper for the Empire and a welcome painting change. I used a bone colour for the armour although my reference material does say that Shore troopers are known to have various colour schemes so you could go wild with camouflage.  According to the fluff the blue colour on the chest indicates an officer so that makes him a nice target.

As an officer this Shore trooper decides not to stand out by being the only mini pointing.As an officer this Shore trooper decides not to stand out by being the only mini pointing.

Bossk comes with two different sets of arms which slot in with out glue.His flight suit is a funny yellow and a nice bright scheme. His figure is more dynamic that the costume from the film.

Occupier Tank

I loved painting this model as it’s so simple to paint and a great slab of a vehicle. Being a simple Empire grey it was a quick paint job. I spent more time on the container units that add a splash of colour to the tank. The tank commander has a dark patch on his armour plates denoting his rank.

Land Speeder

Lukes Speeder has a pattern on the bonnet but as this isn’t Lukes I decided not to put it on my model as it’s not noticeable in the film. The model also has a gun slapped on the front so will get in the way. I stuck to a brown colour scheme and I copied the pattern on the engine jets.

The Black and olive green uniforms of imperial officer. I like the Olive green but I painted Veers that colour so I went for the black for this officer. I dug up the rank badges for the Empire which could come in handy if I get another officer.
