FlightMaster’s Legion

By flightmaster101, in Painting

I have been a bit lax about painting and definitely lax about sharing, but since I started an imgur profile just to share their stuff here we go! I also paint other stuff besides legion so if you want to see the other games i paint or my entire profile its imgur.com/user/flightmaster101

Let’s start off with something fun. Here’s Dooku:

Kinda cool method of getting the red/copper rights. I was playing with contrast paint. The droids are primed in gunmetal (citadel’s ledbelcher) and then I used flesh tearer’s red (the dark red contrast paint) over the gunmetal. Then i drybrushed copper over that. I think it turned out really well.

I like to play WYSIWYG so I got a second Grievous. This one is with the blaster attachment and cape. I thought the cape was more blue, since Sith and the cartoon are pretty dark when he’s in the cape. Turns out its more grey, but I think the blue plays against the warmer bone armor color.

This is also 50/50 Citadel’s Skeleton Horde and contrast medium over white paint to create this effect.

Long time no see. I’ve been painting but not posting, sorry about that, cause I’m going to make up for it by spamming all my recent work. I will keep it to legion and not include my crisis protocol stuff.

Here is my shiny squad. Right out of training and no unit marks to scuff up that peerrttyyy white armor.

Here’s Obi-Wan. I found a neat lightsaber effect using Vallejo color shift paint. I did a light coat of the blue/gold paint and it gives a great shimmer that is always perpendicular to the user. You guys know how tough it is to paint that white line at the center and then when someone views it off angle it doesnt look like a lightsaber anymore. I think this fixes it. I’ll be doing all my lightsabers this way from now on.

Here are my B2 droids. I did a very subtle glaze in green and in blue to differentiate the units.

I only got one unit of droid upgrades so I matched them to my yellow squad.

Ok confession time. I did 3 units of shiny squads with my phase 1s and I only did stripes on the top of the helmet to differentiate them. I hated it. And with Obi-Wan in the core box and Rex as the first expansion hero I got an Idea. So I did something I never do: I took my 2 units with color stripes back to the shop and converted them to the 212th and the fighting 501st.

I like them so much better now.

Here are my BARC speeders. In the link you can see more photos of how the weapons interchange and the sidecar rotates.

And this was a lot of fun to paint. Cad Bane!

It’s really too bad the duster covers his face, because I really like the effect I did for his eyes. In fact I had to add a 5th picture to my imgur post from underneath just to show the face and eyes off in detail. You can see that here: https://imgur.com/gallery/6qcquJu

Color-shift paint on the lightsaber(s) is a fantastic idea. Thanks for that!
