The Bug is back. Fetch the primer!

 After my small existential crisis I was so happy with how my Wookie's came out, I decided to paint some more Star Wars Legion stuff. I found out a squad of rebel troopers, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. I took my time though I did realise I had not done my normal sand dip to texture the base. A quick stop in Warhammer while I was in Birmingham and I picked up some mud texture paint.

Again I am well happy with how they came out.





I think they look really good. I am dreading painting the Empire side of things as that is a lot of white paint. Thankfully still got some rebels left to paint.

New Adventures and a small Existential Crisis



My legend of a friend Alex gave me the Star Wars Legion starter set and many other models. Now I have a new game to fawn over and play. The models went together really easily and I have decent size forces for both the rebellion and the Empire. 

I am aware that a new edition has just been released and that would require lots of new cards and stuff printed out. I am very tempted to just play with the rules and all the nice looking cards in the box for now,  See where we go from there. 

I have built all the infantry now just left is a transport for each faction. Those models will require a bit more concentration. Now onto my existential crisis.

I have recently painted a new model (Don't want to say what it is until its finished) and after i thought I had finished it I sat and looked at it and just wasn't happy. I think I have become a bit to laid back with my speed paints. Rushing through models just so I could get them painted. This has left my last models not t the standard I want. So I have resolved to slow down my painting and take my time. I selected one unit to start and paint. Over 2 painting sessions I got them completed  and here is my first Star wars legion unit.


Wookie Warriors








I am really happy with these guys, I especially love the one Wookie dragging the Storm Trooper, he looks super mean.

I think I did a much better paint job without rushing so I hope you like them?
