Star Wars Legion. BigGrim's Ever-Growing Separatist Army!

The Wrap Up

So after a bit of a slump, the “easy” deadline I’d given myself was fast approaching and I had 52 B1 Battle Droids to actually finish, I pulled myself up by the socks and got the blighters on the paint mat!

It occurs that I didn’t describe the start. Primed with GW Wraithbone then hit with a heavy Agrax Earthshade wash. Heavy drybrush with Rakarth Flesh. By the gods, these guys are super easy.  I painted the guns and magnoculars with a coat of Contrast Black Templar.

Then, problem. I’m not a fan of painting base rims for squad differentiation. So what to do? I decided I DON’T give a toss about all squad leaders having yellow head tails. So the shoulders and the base of the neck get contrast squad colours with the leader head tails (not sure what you’d call them. Eh.) getting a coat as well.

Colours used were: Blood Angel Red, Warp Lightning, Luxion Purple and the ever amazing Talassar Blue. I am rather pleased with it.

Golden Button?!?

With them done, I decided I’ll take a break and input what I’d done in my first BoW Project log. and here we are! What I did NOT expect was the Golden Button I received from the BoW crew and the glowing words said during the Back Stage video and write up Ben gave me in the spotlight!

If this has inspired anyone, then I’m beyond happy and I hope you have as much fun with Legion and silly Battle Droids as I am!

Next?

Well, what’s next? I have an AAT, a Persuader Droid Tank, 2 squads of Commandos, Darth Maul, 2 more boxes of T1 Series Tactical Droids and friends (I’m considering three squads of B2 Super Battle Droids, each with a Tactical Droid upgrade) and a squad of Magnaguard. I absolutely WILL buy a Separatist Invasion Force.

Ventriss is coming with an official mini though I have 2 3d printed ones. I also have the Crashed Escape Pod, Vital Assets and Priority Supplies boxes to sort(need those additional mission cards, don’tchaknow?) so I will try and have something new for the force painted soon, though I DO have a Rebel army, Crisis Protocol figures and my beloved Eldar to work on. Maybe I’ll do projects for all of those.

In closing!

That’s me for today. Again, I’ll try and get some new bits added to the force soon though there is a lot on the ol’ hobby plate. Again, if this Project Log has inspired, then I’m beyond chuffed. Catch ya soon. 🙂
