We've been talking about Star Wars: Legion a lot here on Beasts Of War and you guys seem to be getting into it as well! With that in mind, we've collated together some of your projects so that we can show off what you've been doing and see the variation in themes and techniques.

Your Star Wars: Legion Projects!

Let's dive into the Hobby & Painting Forum and WAYPN Thread to find out what you've been doing.

sotf

Star Wars Legion #1 - sotf

The thing that really caught our eye with sotf's work was the replacement of the bases for these models. The more industrial look works very well for an urban environment and there was still an effort made to show the facing markings for the Speeder Bikes too.

Star Wars Legion #2 - sotf

The grittier look to the Stormtroopers was also one that really caught my eye. The chipping and damage on their armour show off a unit of Stormtroopers who have been through the ringer!

sundancer

Star Wars Legion #1 - sundancer

sundancer had also been getting stuck in as you can see by the mass of models that have filled his painting table. His version of Darth Vader was looking particularly awesome and the way the black had been painted here really stood out to us.

Star Wars Legion #2 - sundancer

Additionally, you'll note that there was a lot of work going into the Stormtroopers. Keeping them all looking uniform, the big thing for use was the helpful rings of colour around the bases to signify which unit they fight for.

suetoniuspaullinus

Star Wars Legion #1 suetoniuspaullinus

suetoniuspaullinus always impresses us with the painting he does and the work on Star Wars: Legion was no exception. There is a more realistic feel to the models that he paints and they come out looking superb.

Star Wars Legion #2 suetoniuspaullinus

Even his work on Luke Skywalker caught our eye. The whole palette that he works with is a little different from other people but it's nice to see and gives the characters a very artistic quality.

tonysilvey

Darth Vader - tonysilvey

tonysilvey did a fantastic job on his version of Darth Vader. The red of the lightsabre really stood out to us and the extra detail work across his suit added to the model, taking it up from just plain black. Subtle use of grey to do some additional highlighting across the model was key to making it pop.

hairybrains

Landspeeder - hairybrains

Looking ahead to some of the expansion products for the range we also have hairybrains and his Airspeeder. This very much struck us with the retro vibe! The way the colours have been painted in this piece made it a very vibrant piece and you'd not miss this as it was flying around the battlefield.

erion

Star Wars Legion #1 - erion

erion went one step further with the paint scheme customisation of the models for his Stromtroopers with those red markings on the side. As Lance pointed out on the Hobby Hangout, it would be a good way to remember which ones were yours if they all clattered onto the floor at a tournament!

Star Wars Legion #2 - erion

We loved the look of his AT-RT walker as well here for the Rebels. There was plenty of additional subtle detail work done to the model which made it stand out to us.

As well as these posts within the main WAYPN Thread we also wanted to highlight two Hobby Threads where the mass of Star Wars: Legion has been coming together, showing us steps in the process too on occasion.

agis' Hobby Thread

Star Wars Legion #1 by agis

agis, for example, has been putting his considerably awesome painting brain to work on some of the Rebels and they have been coming out very nicely. As well as working through Star Wars: Legion he's been looking towards his Imperial Assault collection as well.

Star Wars Legion #2 by agis

He is even looking towards additional conversion work to add more alien lifeforms into the mix for his Legion force which is neat indeed.

collins' Hobby Thread

You will have seen his work already as part of the Community Spotlight but we wanted to highlight the thread by collins again as he has been doing some amazing work on his models.

Star Wars Legion - collins

The mass of his models have been finished from the Core Set and now he is turning his attention to the expansions including the Airspeeder.

Star Wars Legion #2 - collins

This is looking superb and we really liked the way that the lines in the base have been maintained as well as the little touches across the hull of this fighting craft. The windows for example looked awesome, even with those little touches to the corners.
