From DallasE: Star Wars Legion Imperial Troops (49 points)

Scrambling a bit for something to submit this week... I pulled a squad of Legion 3D prints out of a box. I've had these for a few years, but hadn't yet gotten paint on them. I think it's because they're slightly larger than the rest of the models I'd painted for Star Wars Hoth/winter gaming. In any event as long as they're segregated in their own unit they should be fine.

I had a bit of deciding to do on the colours. Black uniforms would've made sense, but then how do you contrast the belts and holsters? White didn't make sense. So they got grey uniforms and black belts and holsters.

Of course most of 'em also have these funky backpacks and chest armour. Internet sleuthing found these to be snowtrooper stuff, so they were painted white. I could see these guys as a squad of special-ops guys outfitted with some snowtrooper gear for a Hoth mission.

The Imperial insignia was a challenge to paint and on these models is pretty... "impressionistic." Oh well.

The helmets and goggle lenses got a coat of gloss varnish as well.

So these guys are done, back to some historical 15mm or 28mm vehicles next week I think.

Points:

7x 40mm SW Legion infantry (7 pts each) = 49 points

Impressive that you just had these guys lying around. They look the part Dallas, but does that mean they can shoot any straighter than their stormtrooper shipmates??? :-)
