      I found an ancient guide for space marine capes that I followed for ponchos on my clones (2003 clone wars style). It was literally just the cheapest kind of tissue paper (That isn't textured with pockmarks) you fold over itself 2 or 3 times, cut out into a square, poke a hole in it, put it on, and brush 1:1 water:PVA glue mixture over it, using your brush to tuck and fold it onto the mini. Costs virtually nothing and looks amazing.

    I adore this approach. Clones appealed to me a lot more as a kid because when I was doing custom figures or fanart, I could paint them however I wanted. But as I grew older, I gained much more of an appreciation for the heavily regimented appearance of the Imperial rank-and-file, with their minimal changes to fit the battlefield they were fighting on. Working within these constraints, yet still adding personal artistic flair, is refreshing BECAUSE of the limitations, not in spite of them. I adore your work, and these guys look great.

    Just some suggestions:
    Give that officer a sweet Krennic poncho as well.
    Give that ship thing some imperial flags (can't have fascism without an absurd amount of obsessive patriotism).
    Just slather that Imperial Army soldier in as much brown texture paint as you can to show that they are really in the mud.
    Put some volleyballs and other beach equipment on the bases of those beach troopers, and put some sunblock on them so that they have that real beach smell.
    This might be heresy, but put some gloss varnish on those death troopers to make them look shiny.
    Take the red Imperial guards and place them somewhere you will never find them since they did nothing in the movies.
    Take the tank off its base, flip it over, and have it upside down like the rebels flipped it in an attack.
    Give one of the speeder bike guys a bruised baby Yoda in a brown bag.

    This is why I love playing as clone troopers. Like space marines, they have countless legions with their own color schemes and designs. I made mine based off the 41st elite (the guys we see with Yoda and the Wookies during the battle of Kashyyyk in Episode 3).

    I'll be honest, Star Wars Legion was a game that always interested me, but was discouraged because it just didn't allow for the creative freedom of Warhammer. It's cool to see how there are methods to actually make a Stormtrooper just as awesome as a Space Marine.

    • @mirsh2541
      @mirsh2541 ปีที่แล้ว +33

      I think there is still a lot of untapped potential with customization kits and alternative parts for many standard units, especially for Clone Troopers. People would go crazy for it if they actually released some official conversion parts like GW did for certain Marine chapters. But in the meantime, third party sculptors and 3d-printing are happy to fill that void along with people doing some old school conversion work just like in the video.

  • @andreyradchenko8200

    With Stormtrooper Corps/GAR you can actually do custom heraldry as a custom homebrew legion. With CIS, you can similarly paint your droids in any way you want and say they're security forces of some particular world/company and wear its livery. And rebs are insurgents and terries, they can look like anything really. The real problem with SWL is that its kits lack the posability and cosmetic options that make GW's kits (and many historicals) so great.

    My Legion Army contains a few conversions, whilst they are kept fairly simple.
    I have two squads of Phase 2 troopers painted in my custom 208th legion veteran colour scheme (Grey and Red markings), one of which is a kitbash of the P1 and P2 kits, in-order to prevent my squads from looking to uniform.
    Three squads of Phase 1 Troopers, fitted with phase 2 heads and painted as 'Shineys' with only the squad leaders painted in 208th colours, and built by mixing various parts from other kits for the reason mentioned above.
    I also intend too, though haven't yet, built some imperial scout bikes (74z) as Republic variants as companion to my BARC Speeders

  • @Blacknight8850

    The trick I've found to making sure your basing recipe stays the same between projects is to use Model Railway materials - I posted a picture of a mini I made as a kid nearly 20 years ago to a model scenery subreddit recently asking "Does anyone know how I can get this same effect as on this model?" and someone *_actually recognised the brand_* and the same company still makes it. Some of those companies have been around decades, so it's really easy to get the same stuff consistently!

  • @peachcarton976

    There are some pretty cool imperial army designs online for stormtrooper replacements on the board. Like the army troopers, they are much closer to 40ks guard as they can be customized per system army like with the mudtroopers, imperial navy, or sector forces like the milita from battlefront 2. If you wanted to really go out there with some ideas from legends several warlords did have unique uniforms for imperial armies and even something like the concept art from mando season 1 has good interpretations of stormtroopers that had been cut off from reinforcements. I absolutely adore your custom works and starwars is my all time favorite so i hope to see more on this subject!

  • @CyberViking27

    I've also camo'ed up my scout troopers. Your cloaks look much better than what I accomplished; I tried a more ghille suit approach. One thing that I found that works excellent for rifle wraps are cut strips from tea bags instead of just basic paper strips. Tea bag paper has a texture that looks closer to what real wraps are made of.

    I love what you're doing here, introduces some much needed customisation! The biggest thing for me with Star Wars Legion is honestly the quality of the models. People always complain about the cost of GW models, but outside of the battle force boxes Star Wars is more expensive and the size and quality of the models is noticeably worse. If anyone interested is reading this don't let that discourage you. If you're a fan they're great models to collect an army of, and the games mechanics are great.

    Vador, Palpatine, Krennic, Deathtroopers and Inferno Squad (maybe Veer to) gets their standard colors because they don't care to be seen.

    I did this same kinda stuff with my eldar rangers I have a blue and bone color scheme but my scouts have a bright red cloak since I have them based on a mars like planet with red sand. I absolutely love making scouts of any variety stand out from your army's normal paint job

    Have been rocking that palette for a while now and really like it. The honeycomb mostly with speedpaints has been great.

    I love these. The leaves and the splatter paint looked great 👍 I'm going to try this.
    I think the ponchos need some rips, holes, and raggedy edges. So I may try that.

  • @cybergames3436
    @cybergames3436 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you want to add colour to your leigon army, may i suggest giving your stormtroopers pauldrons and their survival packs to up variation, black pauldrons can be used for all troopers, though you could try a coppery red for a stormsurgeon and yellow for a rifleman. If you want to do a stormtrooper squad in the style of sternguard you could do a squad of feild stormtroopers.
    (Edit) could do an assault stormtrooper squad, which is just a stormtrooper with yellow arm stripes and helmet markings.

    Squad makings bro. They don't have to be directly from the movies. You can make them early stormtroopers who still have the clone legion makings and colors. You can have them be planet or station troops. Who have color additions for rank or the planet their posted too. They can be post empire troops. So their armor can be painted from PlanetSide colors, or Mando inspired paints. Like there's a ton of inspiration you can take from legends, and the expanded universe as a whole. Like my Mando army is painted as Clen Fett and Mando Crusaders. There is a lot you can do.

    Making Star Wars Legion as cool as 40k? You bought the models, so it’s done. Already cooler

    If you want some inspiration the stormtrooper customisation in the fan series "The Relentless" might be a fun idea!

    star wars legion is super cool rules wise. im working on my clones painted as the outer rim battalion headed by Captain Keeli and Ima-Gun Di. it's a great game!

  • @saundersd1962
    @saundersd1962 ปีที่แล้ว

    To stop masking fluid ruining brushes, work the brush over a wet bar of soap first. Work the soap into the brush and then use it to paint masking fluid. It’s a trick I picked up from Watercolour artists videos on YT

    Some imperial troopers do have different armor colors. Tho the poncho idea is pretty accurate, as scout troopers do wear that on rainy planets, as well as wear camo armor

  • @the23rdradiotower41
    @the23rdradiotower41 ปีที่แล้ว

    These are amazing I need to try this sometime, one idea though you could have the knees and boots painted as if they have been walking in the elusive imperial dirt.

  • @thepyromantic3468

    This one time, at band camp. I mean DunDraCon, I took my unit of Eldar Rangers and infiltrated them into a convenient wooded area right outside my opponent's deployment zone.
    Then we both entirely forgot about them for the whole game. Until I was packing up and noticed the empty spot in my case.

  • @Exorcist062

    @damianallen4964 ปีที่แล้ว

    Once again, im reminded to utilize small sculpting additions. I have a custom bounty hunter for necromunda, based on the kelermorph model. I wound up add some green stuff to fill in the space that would have been filled by the third arm, and his poncho/half cloak was just that little bit extra, that the model warranted.

    The ability to kit bash and cobble together your own version of a mini is what got me to convince a whole store to switch from At-43, which really was a fun game, to Warhammer 40k.

    This is a great way to spice up your scouts snipers! Another way you can spice up your imperials is by getting blast effects from Deadly Print, they have a whole bunch of special effects!
