I love the game Legion and am avidly collecting the Imperials and the Rebels as you can see from my other posts here... but I thought I just am not seeing enough GREEN in the universe- and since I once shared a flight with Daisy Ridley I want to make her happy... so I am building out a full Rodian Rebel army as a swap in for my standard Rebel army when I feel a little like shooting not first. I still went out and bought all the legit Legion models because I like them and because you kind of have to support the game to keep the game around, but here is the first work in progress shot- my Rodian stand-ins for Luke, Rebel Troopers, a Command Sniper team, and a pair of Tauntaun Riders...

I give you...

Nice, I like the theme of one group of aliens forming their own rebel company.

Does Daisy Ridley have some special love for Rodians?

Rodian Desert Raiders Army List:

Commander:

Deredo Neff, Force hunter (plays as Luke Skywalker)

Corps:

Desert Raiders 1 (plays as Rebel Troopers plus Z-6 Gunner)

Desert Raiders 2 (plays as Rebel Troopers plus extra soldier and Z-6 Gunner)

Desert Raiders 3 (plays as Rebel Troopers plus Medic and Z-6 Gunner)

Desert Raiders 5 (plays as Rebel Troopers plus Astromech and Ion Gunner with targeting scopes)

Desert Raiders 6 (plays as Rebel Troopers plus extra soldier with targeting scopes)

Support:

Bado Runner Riders (plays as Tauntaun Riders with Comms Jammer)

Bado Runner Riders (plays as Tauntaun Riders)

Elites:

Crag Crawlers 1 (Plays as Commando Strike Team with Sniper Rifle)

Crag Crawlers 2 (Plays as Commando Strike Team with Sniper Rifle)

Yeah yeah they probably suck but they're going to look cool!

Who knows what she likes.. I'm just going of her statement "I didn't know there was this much GREEN in the whole Galaxy!"

I figure not all armies are total mix-ups and wanted to give one a try that isn't humans... plus I juct can't see my Tauntauns going into the desert...

This is a little slice of awesome!

So @Makwiesel how are you making these? Are they kit bashed from something or did you sculpt them? 3D printed?

Hey BigBadAndy,

SO I went to Heroforge.com and built out a set of I think it was about 9 different models with weapons from their selection that matched closest to the Rebel Troopers weapons, and I bought all those models as Downloads. I took the downloads and went to Thingiverse to get a Rodian head, some helmets and other bits, and digitally kitbashed them in Autodesk Netfab. From there I grouped them into squad-sized printable sets and 3d printed them on my Anycubic Photon resin 3d printer. I have a big army of them now and am just starting to pain them up!

I have printed out the whole starting army. I need to go in and start adding other cool units BUT I want to get these ones at least started with paint first...

Really nice army ! You have a lot of work. ^^

don't remind me!

OK so I finally got to start laying out basic colors for the whole force this weekend... so much detailing left to do but at least now when I look at them on the table I don't cry...

I SWEAR those droid heads are NOT PINK. I will darken them immediately to ensure they never get taken for being accidentally pink!

It's not pink, it's salmon!!!! (Seriously though, what colour are they for reals?)

This is the nicest and coolest Legion army I have seen on this Forum.

Thank you for sharing this eye candy. Keep it coming.

k2so with a pit droid head?

It was part of the Big Brothers of America program- see his little brother next to him?

they are Dragon Red. Something about the light just made it look pink!

do they have crazy adventures like Role Models?

Only when I swap their fuel out for RED BULL!

This is the coolest army I've seen for this game! They look great!

THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING!

I love the theme. While I'm not a huge fan of Rodians in particular, I love how you took a theme and stuck with it. I especially loved the Hero Conversions. I'm assuming that the large robot is Chewbacca, the one with the pistols is Han, and that Leia is the female one? Please tell me if I made a mistake on these.

Also, is Sabine the little one?

Love the project,

Thanks, Arctic!

Mostly right- the little Pit Droid is just used as a stand- in Astromech. I'm doing a Sabine stand-in with her sword- will post her up soon!

Oh cool! Looking forward to seeing more of your posts! Do you have backgrounds/names for the main hero characters?
