Well, I'm incredibly new to painting. I took a free "learn to paint" session at my LGS and found out I absolutely love painting. It was most of the reason I bought into Legion. (Though now that I've played a few games, I've found it's very fun!) Here are some of the things I've painted for Legion (and others).
Firstly, here are my storm troopers 5 squads. I airbrushed a primer coat them brush painted the base white. I washed all the figures completely with nuln oil and then dry brushed white over the panels and raised parts of the armor. (It gave them a worn-in look without making them seem too seasoned) I then did a little bit of detail work on the bits in between armor, guns, and colored their shoulder pads accordingly. I then when over all the armor bits with a gloss varnish and the non armors with a matte. They look quite nice on the field.
I also had a friend do up a very nice "inferno squad" stormtrooper squad.
He also did up a Darth Vader that was quite nice.
Here's one of 2 AT-ST model I painted.
I air brushed a grey primer followed by a darker grey base coat. I gave the whole model a wash in nuln oil then did a second shader coat on high detail areas. From there I dry brushed on a white/grey mix that matched the AT-ST color. Then I added my black detailing using the dry brush to highlight areas of intense movement or heat (like blaster tips or joints). Finally I dry brushed some areas with a metallic silver to give the machine a used look. It still needs a varnish but it's mostly complete.
Thanks for checking out my stuff! Any thoughts or tips are more than welcome!
UPDATE: 1
So I got my scout troopers and I've been working on them all week. The front row is basically done. I have some minor touch ups to add some color to the satchel and landmine, and colored unit markings.
Started with a primer in white. Added a 2 coat white base, and tried detailing the ammo bags, boots and cloth back pieces with an off-white. I highlighted the black under suit, guns, helmet vents and lenses with a matte black, then gave the model a good wash in nuln oil. I lost the off white in the wash, it was too subtle. I dry brushed the armor with white to revive it's color and left the ammo bags and such washed to keep the off-white scheme I originally intended. From there I just touched up some black areas that picked up white from the dry brushing. Finally I mixed a black and white to get a deep charcoal for the gloves, and then varnished the armor in gloss and everything else in matte.

General Veers
UPDATE 3
Time for another update!
First off, I decided to base all my stuff to look like Crait from TLJ. I know the fans seem to have a love/hate relationship with TLJ, but the location Crait was a really cool idea, both conceptually and visually.
Unfortunately, finding a mat to play on that matched was a little tricky. In the end, I ended up designing my own!
I ordered 2 from Inked Gaming, and they arrived yesterday!
The level of detail I worked into these really blows my mind when I see them up close.
This got me excited about getting my basing started. I had purchased 2 or 3 bottles of Agrellan Earth months ago, but I just couldn't get motivated to start... I started with my storm troopers and Veers. My main units. Once the paint dried the cracked earth effect looked wicked cool! (I don't really like Citadel paints, but holy **** their textured stuff is cool).
Once they all dried out I started dry brushing the white onto the cracked earth. I started with Veers (and my favorite stormie unit, which I didn't manage to photograph). I think it has turned out amazing!
