Army Building
I used Tabletop Admiral to build an army list from which I could work out what I needed. I have quite a lot of Lego Star Wars but not enough to build an army so I turmed to eBay and found a few lsitings for bulk buying minifigs.
Getting Everything Together
I ordered a bulk lot from eBay that included 8 Death Troopers, 8 Shoretroopers and 8 white variant Shoretroopers, a set of 6 Imperial Guard and another bulk lot of 16 standard Stormtroopers, which cost me £42 in total.
I also ordered an Endor set that had a Scout Trooper and Speeder bike for £15, I already had one of these that I bought in Coleraine during the hobby weekend for a laugh which at the time only cost £10.
That brings the total to £67 for the figures, I already had a Darth Vader minfig and a General Weiss one so I didn’t have to spend on that. I also had self adhesive lego tape to mount the figures and Star Wars Legion custom bases.
Assembly and Basing
The Lego figures that arrived were actually Lepin which is a Chinese knock off and they require a littel bit of assembly as the hands and arms come seperate in tha bag. Once assembled I used the self adhesive Lego tape to attach the figures to the bases.
