Time to get to work!

Had fun with this one!

Painted my first models, even included my method on the 4th slide.

Started making golden "inlays" on my miniatures. I really like it, even if constantly getting my fingers tangled in masking tape makes me frustrated.

Note: The old expansion is still available, at least in the US. The old expansion's MSRP is $10 less.

My picks are mainly separatist due to bias. I think Rocket B2s could give some decent verticality and firepower. Even a jump pack upgrade card to add to standard B2s could offer some mobility pressure on an opponent. Air Battle Droids can be an choice instead, but with melee capability with their wrist blades and personal shield.

Considering how the only big melee hitters are often named commanders and characters, I think Grapple Droids can be an alternative option for Magnas but with a more offensive purpose. They don't even have to be deadly but they can be bulky enough to tie down jedi and other melee units while other Separatist units do scoring or deal with other threats.

I think the Hailfire Droid can fit as a new vehicle. Its size can be scaled well for the game compared to the Homing Spider Droid, which would either be too tall and wide-set, or scaled down to the point it looks weird. Its role could be a quick glass cannon with its missiles and a serviceable mounted blaster. Something that's a threat to enemy vehicles and can punish clustering in the right circumstance.

The Octuptarra Tri-Droids can work as an alternative option to droidekas where they can act as mobile turrets with more precise fire and even deploying viruses against organics at close range like the dioxis mine for BXs. Obviously, the smaller variants are what I'm talking about. The big versions are even taller and wider than the Homing Spider. Unless the AT-AT is added, I don't see the big version coming.

With the upcoming air support, I think Tri-Fighters would be a good alternative option to Vultures. They have a nice, compact size and can work as a strafing unit that's more for taking down troops rather than vehicles.

My most crackpot choice are Buzz Droids. Their models can be like nurglings in a cluster and are specialized against vehicles. They're easy to take out, but are very fast and can wreak havoc on vehicles and even other droids when in range. Their little drills, saws, and plasma cutters can offer some melee damage to organics, but their niche is a vehicle counter or droid hunter. In fact, they can be an option for the Vulture's payload depending on how that works.

This the first shipment he got in. For context. Only the warhammer stuff is stocked to this amount.

Late phase 1 clone troopers.

I painted up an LAAT Gunship that I bought off Etsy to go with my 212th boys. There's also a couple stragglers in there from 501 and a Specter on loan from the SR1 Normandy

Painted these up as part of a commission for an empire army

Finished Maul Shadow Lord and really enjoyed it. Now my creative juices are flowing and I want to create some custom scenarios to play out the epic moments in legion.

To that end I made some custom unit cards that I'm going to use and thought I'd share. Here's the best part, in a republic list their completely legal! I just made the custom Jedi into a version that I thought most closely resembled the characters and tallied the points and added the keywords (for a Jedi General... there's a lot). I then reskinned Padme to be Lawson.

My initial thought is a recon game that includes Daki, Devon, Lawson, Maul, and a squad of Mandalorian super commandos with Rook vs Vader, inquisitors x2, and a whole bunch of naked Storm Troopers.

I'm debating whether to make it just a straight up fight or if its a Devon and company trying to move across the map to escape. Hit me with your ideas on how to score victory points for each side. I'm thinking of making it an escape across the map but Devon's group starts with 100 extra points but the empire can endlessly respawn their storm trooper units.

I'm also looking for STLs for Marrok and Eleventh Brother (Crow), anyone know of any out there?

So for painting my clones i always coat them with white Army Painter Primer. I heard that temperature and distance make a big difference etc. But recently i though i primed them quite well, but after a week they started to become unsmooth. Adding to that i painted up a perfectly fine ARF Trooper (Primer wise) but he turned brittle too. Any experiences you guys can share to help me improve will be appreciated!

I’ve been itching to reorganize my office for work and hobbying. Was feeling too cramped and wasn’t ideal for WFH. I also designed these 3D printed grid patterns to hold and organize my Legion armies. They take up a little more space but look much better than loosely lining them up, and I don’t have to worry about knocking any off if I bump a shelf. Happy that I can now easily access everything.
