5hrs in painting, shot off the table in turn 1. Thanks for sharing your work, these troopers look fantastic.

I just got into Star Wars Legion which also happens to be my first miniature game. The paining process seems very daunting for someone as non-artistic as me. However, your videos are very educational and give me confidence. I'm hoping I can star paining in a few weeks once I have gathered all material. As a beginner I will probably just stop at the base colors. They look perfect for me at that point. Thank you again for these videos.

Just got my first core set for Legion. Your videos have been so helpful! It's like Bob Ross but with badass stormtroopers.

I've said it before, and I will say it again. Your videos are not only educational, but very relaxing!

Who the f*** gives a thumb down for this awesome guy and his painting. Learned all my painting "skills" from you. Perfect tutorials!

Seeing the stormtrooper with no arms just makes me hear “It’s merely a flesh wound” in my head

I will be following all your guides. I'm a new player as of 8/20/2022. I love the detail and for the cost of this game/hobby I feel that without this amount of detail I would be doing myself a disservice. Thankyou for the high quality videos and I hope that this game will bring me joy as much as it has brought to you.

You make painting white (arguably one of the two hardest colors to paint) look so easy. It's a simple scheme and technique, that works!

I watched this video when it came out 2 years ago when i begain my journey into table top wargames. And i was looking up legion videos and decided to give it a watch again. I simply cant believe its been 2 years.

Fantastic! This seems much quicker than shading the whole miniature and then building back up to pure white. Thanks for this!

I love that your technique constantly evolves when painting these stormtroopers. This video almost makes me want to redo my Imperial Assault troopers...almost.

Some people will insist on, or feel financially limited to, using cheaper craft acrylics to paint miniatures. Let me stress that WHITE is one of the colors that you really need a quality, high pigment paint, designed for models, such as citadel, Vallejo, etc. If you try a cheap white, you may have a hard time getting the coverage and texture you need, and with it, you can make a mess of your models. Spend the money for the good paint, it makes the world of difference, and is critical for white...

Displaying Jedi-like patience there. Excellent work

very cool to see this compared to your early imperial assault stormtrooper videos. It's great to see you progressing as an artist as you help everyone here watching on their own journeys.

I searched the eintire internet for a painting video with good quality. Here I am. Amazing quality, amazing explaining. And it´s relaxing! Thank you!

This was a great video! Just getting into legion now and am so excited to finish building my stormtroopers tonight. Hopefully can have everything primed and ready to paint in full this weekend. Will definitely have your videos playing! Thank you!

I am a 100% noob to all things tabletop and miniature. Friend of mine got me into Legion and I was so beyond lost on where to start even with things like how to glue the minis together. He suggested your channel and oh my Odin is your content absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for your videos.

I fairly recently did about my fourth re-paint on a squad of stormtroopers and thought they looked pretty good. Set them on a shelf and went about my business. About 3 days later I stopped to look at them and thought to myself that they looked a lot like the thumbnail for this video. And at that point I was like... I can finally paint minis Seriously, your videos are very good. I appreciate how you mention how a lot of the steps passed Base coating is mostly optional and I always like having your videos on in the background while I'm doing my painting. So thank you, love the content

Thanks for the tutorial!

Before watching Video: I am so happy and I know, that this is gonna be good! After watching Video: Still happy and I kept right ;D

Thanks for these guides. I've followed this one and the Vader one so far and I'm delighted with my results.

Your painting videos are the most easiest video to follow. Thank you for your work.

I have just recently ordered starwars legion and your videos have helped me get an understanding which colours to use. And the best techniques to paint the figures.

Barely got into Star Wars legion but your videos have helped me so much

This guide was immensely helpful for first time painting. Thank you for taking the time to do this!!

Finally getting around to these. Have SOOOO many troopers. Thanks so much for the straightforward techniques

I really like the other styles with different colours. Nice job!

I think I prefer this shading technique to the one you used for the Imperial Assault Stormtroopers. Highlighting all the armor back up to white after the nuln oil wash was tedious given the sheer number of figures, but this "lining" technique seems like it will be much faster and appeal to my short attention span.

Hi Sorastro! Just popping in to say thank you for these really amazing Legion painting vids. I held off of painting my starter set for the longest time because I found the Stormtrooper's white armour waaaaay to intimidating. Thanks to you and your tutorials, I now have an almost 100% painted Imperial force! The only change that I made was to switch out the Mechanicus Standard Grey for Celestra Grey as I found that I preferred the subtler shadows that it provided. So thank you! :) Now I just have to build up the courage to tackle Vader and my fall to the dark side will be complete! XD

I cant wait to try all you nice tips on my stroomtrooper ! Thank you for these guide they are awesome!

It really is amazing how much you’ve improved from the first IA Stormtroopers to these Stormtroopers. They look amazing!

Great prop Anthony! Looking forward to seeing more Zombie apocalypse videos! 😀

Great video as usual. Troopers are looking awesome! Can't wait to paint these myself😀

Great as always. I never get tired of watching your stuff, esp. Star Wars

Dude, we finally purchased Legion at Adepticon, because it was not available. I can't wait to paint these, but this tutorial was another fantastic video. Love seeing how you paint these. Thanks for the info!

As always one of the best and still easy to follow Tutorials on the web!

Very good video. I am painting them a different way, using black as prime color, then dry bush gray and dry brush white. Finally, I am painting the details.

Really love your videos. They're so calming. I should get some citadel paints so i can get into miniature painting. The cheap paints don't work as good as citadel.

just got my copy of legion and starting with the stormtroopers. Very useful video!!

sprays cans tend to leave tiny globs on the figures(due to spraying too far from figures or dry conditions). I tend to stay away from them and use a brush or air brush. Great guide.

Tried both the IA method, and the Legion method. The IA method of priming white, adding detail and using nuln oil is so much more effective for beginners like me! Drawing on those eyes and mouth pieces without looking like moustaches and sunglasses is so hard, but it's a walk in the park with Nuln Oil getting into those recesses. They call it Liquid Talent for a reason!

The level of love you put into these miniatures is astonishing ...kind of a dream job right?😍

This was a really good painting guide! Everything was clear and easy to follow.

PLEASE go look at this guys other tutorials too. Even if you don’t have the particular game or mini, the techniques and theory are all worth your time. Also worth become a patreon if you can afford a couple of dollars

Will you be doing guides on the new clone wars stuff? I may need help on how to paint my army of Battle Droids Lmao

Fantastic work as always! I''m painting this kit at the moment and use your guides extensively. Cheers

We come full circle from one of you first videos painting stormtroopers :)

It's kind of fun to watch your different stormtrooper painting videos in order of publishing to see how your approach to painting them has changed. Looks like the wash is out and Zenithal priming and spot contrast is in now.

Looking forward to applying your techniques in my first SW diorama. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My new favourite KZfaq channel. Great work

Thx for your passion. I was looking for battle damage painting instructions. Your work is an ideal base.

Absolutely brilliant. Can’t wait to get my figures.

ok. you just officially got me into this hobby.

I like your finishing touches!!! GREAT!!!

Wow, these painting videos are going to to be a huge help for me. Thank you!

thank you for this great video, it helped me a lot.

That feathering explanation was a godsend.

I’ve never seen these before, but they look awesome! I should buy some

Wish I've seen this video before painting my first stormtrooper with brush...I have all the tools mentioned here at my disposal, will try it tomorrow, hopefully the results will be at least as half as good as yours.

Excellent tutorial as usual! I really like it when the number of paints are kept to minimal! It's also nice to see you use VMC whites, blacks and greys more often. I find them easier to work with/control. Still, there are some citadel paints and shades one just needs to have!

We’ve missed you! It has been too long :-( So happy to see you back!

Thanks for this tutorial! I see that your way of priming is so much better! I'm an amateur painter, so I just primed them with black. The painted end-result isn't that bad, but this method is so much better! I'm gonna try this on a squad.

Dear Sorastro, Outstanding! Kind Regards Johnny

Looks really nice. I love the end results

Great painting, nice foice. Love this video.

Another amazingly detailed guide!

I love what you did with those Stormtroopers! :)

I am very big Fan of your way of painting. You have a great quality and what I love too is you are speaking a very good english ;-)

i really like your painting skills... so much fun to watch!!!

Nice work on those stormtroopers! That was a big job, it wouldve took me quite a while haha. Those bases look amazing by the way.

Your videos are so dang awesome!

Great Video, really inspiring and motivating, congratulations.

They look great!

Good not to do the old wash over the white. I followed your IA storm trooper guide and basically lost the will to live.. This looks much better though I can't say I'm in a rush to paint any more Stormies now! Great vid as always, you always inspire me to pick up the brush.

This is very helpfull! I do all sorts of this war gaming. i did play warhammer, i play hail ceasar, and starwars xwing, i wanna do this now.

Magic!

get them guns lightly drybrushed with silver/grey to make the hands contrast with the guns

Yes!!! Thank you! Snowspeeder up next?!?!?

These look great! can't wait to get my hands on these and start painting myself :)

Great guide!

Happy little stormtroopers

Here I am trying to paint Mini's for the first time and realizing how shakey my freaking hands are. Wish mine turned out as good as yours

Cool!

Exactly what I was looking for...... ✌️💪👍

So satisfying!

congratulations, a great job, do not add any more words

Having painted Stormtroopers for both Legion and IA, which method do you prefer in regards to time and final overall quality?

I take it from your homemade soundtrack to this video that you're a fan of Trent Reznor

Very clean. Well made video as well

It looks like when you applied the white primer onto the grey primer it speckled a little bit, perhaps your paint in the airbrush wasn't thin enough or maybe that is just the nature of primer in an airbrush? I've also never been able to get a very good spray out of a rattle can that works well for a base coat. It's an interesting idea though and I'm excited to play around with it. Great video and awesome paint job!

Great great great video ! Thanks for posting

Awesome

Pretty useful, thank you!

Patiently hoping for a clone painting guide and wondering which unit colors you will use, I painted mine as the phase I 212th Attack Battalion, the orange fits well with the glossy white armor imo.

Thanks for a proper guide. Followed another and my initial stormies were all chalky!

Thank you!!! Now my army is magnificent.

Magnificent, aren't they?

I think i am gonna do novatrooper sceme. Keeps it a nice black and gold and it's very simple.

This is awesome

Nicely done, as always. I have been follwing your videos for ages now, and it cost me a lot of money since it started me on a way down to miniatures gaming and painting. ;) And I wanted to make one suggestion ever since I tried to paint my first stormtrooper: Find someone who has no or little experience with painting and let that person try to paint a figure based on one of your videos. And then point out everything the person does wrong. Because, while your videos show how should be done, I still have to make all my mistakes myself, if you know what I mean. A "mistake video" could be helpful, especially for beginners, and even intermediates. And while I'm writing: I would love to see your approach to a Runewars scion, i.e. your approach to painting bark. Just saying. ;) And lastly: Your Kingdom Death figures are the most impressive miniatures paintings I've seen yet. Anyway, I'm looking forward to whatever comes next.
