Star Wars Legion - reinforcements including some heavy armour.

Some really random reinforcments for both Imi and I.
My Xmas pressies from my girls.
AT-ST from Imi


It only just fitted my light box!


Back view with all the vulnerable gubbins


Random point!


It also comes with Chewie as the commander, so you can use it with Rebels, which is I'm sure what my daughter Imi will knick it for!


"No, I've got an idea..."


And from Rach, the Daiyamo of Mos Espa, Boba Fett


Older, wiser, still hits as hard!


Book of Boba Fett anyone?


The head is interchangable


There we go
 
Ahsoka Tano for Imi, she's a great fan of the (not quite a jedi).


She's a bit strong


Fun to paint too


Lots of research too


Back view
 

Din Djarin and not one but three Grogru's!


The frog eating one tickles me!


Soup bowl


"Do the magic hand thing!"


Must be a good guy, he's not wearing a black cloak!


Moff Gideon - new Manadalorian Big Bad


With the Darksabre


Must be a bad guy, he's in a black cloak


IG units,IG-11 (Mandalorian) for Imi, and IG-88 (Empire Strikes Back) for me


Hence the different basing, each suits our forces


Fearsome bounty hunters/nursemaids


Agent Kallus - commander, not the greatest, but fun


He does have a nasty tendency to side with the Rebellion!


Back view


Close up


Darth Maul and probe droids - neither of us have Seperatists, but such a cool figure, when offered for a reduced price, how could I say no?
Iconic pose


Force yoink!




Chewie!





 
Shoretroopers for myself, I needed another unit, and these guys looked tasty.


Hmm intersting mix of weapons, including heavy blaser and mortar team.


More armoured than scouts, less than Stormies! Counts as two units with teamwork
My view


Rebel commandos for Imi

 
Includes a sniper and a demolition team


Or Imi could just run them as another Rebel trooper unit


The cloaks were almost too regular in the end.


Team Xenos


Which allows Imi to put out an extra trooper unit


Nasty punch





Exta character (not offical, but if he joined any side, he must be a rebel!)


Experiment 626


Where does he keep those extra arms?


So cute, but deadly!

 
 
Anakin Skywalker for Imi's Republican/Clone forces. She's got quite a selction now.






No idea if he is any good, but he looks cool!

Two more of Imi's favourite Star Wars:Rebels characters, not available for Legion, but Rebel Assault has these two,
Hera Syndulla
and
C1-10P, commonly known as "Chopper," or simply "Chop" (seriously, he's a psycho, if you don't believe me, look it up.


Back view


No idea when we will use them, but I do like the figures.
 
 
Decided I needed to rethink my Imperials, as Vader keeps dieing!
Plan B right now involves this gentleman...


Love the animation on this figure.


He's no use to me dead!


The escape pod had occupants!
Look sir, droids!




We're doomed I tell you!


What mission?


Don't you take that tone with me!

Imi needed some terrain to fight over.


"Look sir, droids!"


It's quite a fun kit to build


Any landing you can walk away from is a success?


It's about an hour's painting all told...

 
 
Think it is inevitable my daughter will soon 'develop' a Clone Wars era army, as she now has Kenobi too.


"Hello there!"



 
More Rebels for my daughter (she now significantly out-numbers my Imperials, must do something about this):

Rebel Fleet Troopers


Charge left!


Wait for it.. wait for it...


They need a corridor to guard!


RUN AWAY!



Mandelorians of House Wren - jump troopers, Tristen Wren on the left




Back details


Fly my pretties!


Clan Wren on foot, Ursa Wren and Beskar Dualist to right


Capes - with a jet pack!

Pew! Pew!


Clan assembled

General Veers


Quite a cool dude!






Another of my daughter's favourite characters, Captain Rex



 
Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan, in Endor clothes. Another commander for Imi's forces.






Stormies 1st Squad




Stormies 2nd Squad


Top down


Back view




Lord Vader,






Imp Inf


Speeder bikes, so iconic!




PEW! PEW!


I might just have modified one of them!


GROGRU!


 
Two more models done, both for my daughter's forces,
Luke




And a second Asokha for Imi (older, wiser, more sensibly clad), this time from Rebel Assult.







 
I bought the base Legion set the other week (reduced and MASSIVE tax rebate), I will be using the Imperials, and my eldest daughter the Rebels. Knowing the Rebels would be the harder set to paint with all the camo, they were done first, apart from Luke who will be done with Vader at the end.

Rebel foot and AT-RT walker

First squad

Second squad


They went thataway!


Rear view


At-RT light walker with interchangable main weapons.


Heavy blaster added


You can hear the clank!


Rear view




3d Printed Asokha Tano I found for my daughter of fleabay, she's a big fan. Not the most detailed figure, but fun to paint.




Tail view




I have no idea what he/she/it is, but he came free with Asokha, so I painted him up!






Imperial E-WEB heavy repeat blaster for my Imperials






 
 
My very good friend Paul dropped these round yesterday, exchanged for two Spitfires, think I got the better end of the deal.
Assembled, and painted in a day, 7 Snowtroopers (as seen on Hoth). I did wonder about basing for a bit, but snowtroopers need snow, so they get snow.


Standard snowtroopers


I did paint the cloth areas a different shade over adifferent background to the armour pieces


I really like the sense of movement on their cloaks


Flamethrower and Ion blaster


I like white!
 
 Snowtroopers in the snow!! 


I lucked out this year! Two Legion units from my girls. I am a lucky man! So these Xmas presents went straight onto the table and now these brilliant gifts from my daughters are finished.

Rebel Pathfinders as seen in Rogue 1.








Finally, some bad guys to beat up. Stormtrooper specialists





 
Mandolorian from Diehard Miniatures and a 3d printed Grogru (or the Child/The Asset) for my eldest's Xmas pressie.




My daughter's latest addition to her collection, painted by me, she loves Rogue 1, so when we saw these two had come out as a set, we thought "Well, why not?"

Cassian Ando and K2SO

Sniper configuration


K2 close up


Heavy blaster configuration


Light blaster


K2 has a grenade!


"How come she gets a gun!"

After getting Netflix, and painting Jyn, there was only one way I could go, and that was to really test my painting abilities!

Sabine Wren, a Rebel operative, Mandalorian and sassy graffitti artist, with the most complex armour you could imagine, and it changes each season, so I went season three!

With the Darksaber



The model come with a choice of arms and heads, so I modified mine so that the parts are interchangable. 

Pew! Pew!

She comes with a jetpack! "I got to get one of those!"


 Two gun set up

I loke her, a lot! So much, I might even have to try the game...


Bought this last October for Imi, and inspired by Geoff and his version earlier in the week, and members of the LB club playing Legion, but most importantly by my daughter being a MASSIVE Rogue 1/Jyn Erso fan, I had to paint up this while we all under lockdown.
 




Pretty pleased wit her. Might have to get one for myself so I can play the game.

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them.   Nemisis the Warlock - Khaos; Deadlock; the Warlock; the Shape of Things to Come; the Lord of the Flies; Holder of the Sword Sinister; The Death Bringer One of my all-time favourite 2000AD characters (2000AD is a British sci-fi based comic for those not from the fair shores of Blighty). "Creedo!" I got hold of two of these on Evil Bay, one uncommon (yellow base rim), one rare (red base rim), so I trashed the rare one (and kept the base elsewhere). This is a simple conversion of a heroclix figure,  Excessus, Sword Sinister replaced, base ripped off and new one sculpted, undercoated figure,  completly  repainted, flying stem attached. Sometimes, you just need a seri

15mm By The Fire and Sword Transylvanians commission.

Principality of Transylvania ( those ones , not those ones , get your mind out the gutter). Batch 4:- Ten more bases of Transylvanians (so thirty figures) for Manny, this time Comitatus or heavy household troops. Heavy lancers. A lot more colourful than the light horse. As ever, Manny will do his own basing and add flags later. Lots of cloaks Quite a sizable force Batch 3: 30 extra Transylvanian light horse for Manny Not as bright as others, but these are lower order troops. Advance Lots of hairy cavalry As ever, Manny will base these himself. That way lads! Player's eye view At the trot The force, so far (there's still have a bag of blisters to do) Batch 2: As ever, Manny will add the flags and his own basing at his leisure. 12 bases of household levy lancers (36 figures, not sure how many units that equates to) for the 15mm Transylvanians. Only realised whe

Medieval Scots - A replacement army - second set of three spear units added

I  have, after much soul searching (no I could not find mine either), decided that I really should stretch my Pictish spearmen a whole 1000 years. 300ish to 1300 ish, so really stretching the whole Pict-morph-thing now. So 10mm to replace the fallen over the winter, this will be fun ( 18 months later, and summer is on the way and I finally started them ) This means a restart and finish with my Scots army back where I started with them for DBM, a successful army, but before MeG came out I had not touched them in 10 years, then I sold my 15mm version of them in 2014 (and then were instantly stolen from my late friend's car).  So, back to the 1300s version. 1315 to be exact. A project I've been putting off for years, but now I have started the Medieval Scots spearmen from c.1315 with Pendraken figures and flags . Got this lot finished just in time for this weekend's MeG tournement. More Scots spears and the generals Another 25
