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.

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

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...

@RahulReddy-eq5zy 5 жыл бұрын

Uncle Deadly I know this comment is ancient, but I'd like to absolutely stress the same with Yellow. Yellow in my opinion is sometimes even more important to get right than a nice, crisp white. There are plenty of cheap acyrilics out there which can fill many roles, however my ones I wouldn't trust at all and prefer to get proper ones when I have the avaliable cash.

I've had better luck with a 50 cent bottle of walmart white than I ever had with Citadel whites. Citadel adds chalk to their whites and yellows and even thinned down, I've had the paint be chalky when layed down. I will sing the praises of folkarts white because it applies nice and smooth.

I think I prefer this shading technique to the one you used for the Imperial Assault Stormtroopers.

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!

Hi MrUzzynator! I'm glad you found my IA approach to painting Stormtroopers useful. I agree - throwing on some Nuln Oil is about as easy as painting gets; I just thought I'd present an alternative approach in the Legion video for painters who dislike the work involved in highlighting the armour back up to white after applying the shade, which I know some new painters struggle with. I feel the more options we have, the better :)

Love your videos! I have been using them as a guide to help me paint my figures. I want to add some scorch marks and maybe even some blaster holes to my troopers armor, but I can't really find any good videos or advice. Could you provide some suggestions or guidance?
