Hi!

I bought official Legion Paints which is also my very battle miniature game besides X-Wing.
Now I came with a thought, on how to restock on single paint colors.
I think I read somewhere that the paints are made by Army Painter and I was wondering if those aren't already existing colors, renamed.
Can anyone confirm? I'd love to be able to keep it consistent :D

Unfortunately not. I had the same concern after receiving the paints as a gift. I reached out to army painter, and they told me that the paints are unique, and I do not believe they are sold separately.

That was the main reason I didn't buy FFG's Legion paint sets. When painting Imperials, you're going to need more bottles of Stormtrooper Armor (White) long before you run out Imperial Officer (Grey) or Speeder Bike (Brown) or even Royal Guard Crimson.

It seems like a major oversight for FFG not to offer individual paints.

But the Legion Paints were a blatant cash-grab from their inception.

Just watch the experts' Legion painting videos and they recommend what paints to use and/or blend to achieve the correct colours.

I do fully believe that at least most of them are simple rebrandings. (The washes, the varnish, black, white, most, possibly all of the metallics, and many, probably most of the rest.) But Lucasfilm/Disney are being their usual selves jealously overprotective of the IPs they own, so we got no official conversion charts (uniquely so for licensed paints from The Army Painter). That they won't let them sell individual bottles, however, is just full-on facepalm galore. If they have any sensible reason for this, it's that it may make clear which colors (if any) are actually unique to the line - likely the CIS blue, the GAR red, the standard B1 sandy brown, and a couple more peppered throughout.

If you thin them out they should last you years!

White and black and washes are most likely to get used up but are easy to replace.
