Finally, I've finished painting all my initial stuff for Legion (core, commandos, fleets, scouts, and some commander/operators). These are the first real mini's (like little 28mm dudes) that I've painted, and I've gotten better as I've gone through the boxes (yay me!) Started with the Empire, finished with the rebel scum. Lots of mistakes, lots of learning, and I'm happy with it in the end. Shout out to Sorastro as he was an immense help with inspiration and his videos were a great help in deciding how I thought about how to tackle these (ie, I shamelessly stole what I wanted).

really outstanding work for it beeing your first miniatures to paint! keep up the good work!

Really like the during!!

Really like the Duro skin!!

These look fantastic even if they weren't first minis. That these are your first ever painted minis, is quite extraordinary. Bravo!

I'm in love with your Scout Troopers 😍

Of course the rest of the models look also great!

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, I'm a pretty good student, and with videos like the ones available on YouTube, it makes it easier to learn and do better work IMO. On my own, without those vids, I'd probably still be an out of the pot painter wondering why my stuff didn't look like everyone elses.

Your minatures look amazing. If I was wearing one I would tip my hat to you. I got back into the hobby after a long hiatus with Imperial Assault. Sorastro was a big influence when initially starting but the community itself was my inspiration.

I believe this community is the best. Everyone shares tips and tricks and seeing how others think or paint outside the box is great. I really admire Sorastro's work but I love seeing what this community has to share.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

I look forward to posting more. I picked up another box of fleet troopers, and I'm going to use what I've learned and try to get it done in a lot less time. Also have snow troopers to add to this list soonish as well. Can't wait!

These are really nice man. You’ve done a great job and I really like your bases. They are doing their job of looking nice and having some visual appeal without overly distracting from your minis.

The OSL on your Vader is top notch too. That’s something that’s easy on paper but more than a bit finicky in real life so I’m impressed at how well you captured it.

These are great. What are you going to do for another Imperial corps unit?

Snowtroopers currently. I've got them cleaned and assembled primed, but not assembled. A few other projects and a very last minute work trip have those sitting put for a bit. Going to go for more of an urban snow look instead of the traditional khaki warm blankey look.

Don't worry. It's not as traditional as modern toy vendors would lead you to believe... You still can't go wrong with stark white!

I'm not sold on stark white either. Think I'm going to end up with a really light gray with some pure white highlights on the raised parts, and then base the cloth parts with a medium gray so I can use white dark gray and black as the pattern. Something like this maybe, try and get some bigger irregular shapes in.
