Star Wars Legion Rebel Infantry

 March over I hadn't quite managed to get all the Rebel infantry done. Currently I have half finished  and the other half are progressing with them nearly all base coated ready for washes to be applied. 

Rather than paint them a squad at a time I have painted the figures in pairs. With the exception of the squad leader as I wasn't sure how I was going to do the camo on his coat. The squads share similar colour schemes with only the gloves and the hard outer ring on the helmets being different between the two units.  I may get more infantry later on so will have to think on how I will do those differently. Though to be honest I'd like some different models to change up the squads more. There are some aliens you can pick up but I think they are specialists you add to your normal squads so may have to look at what 3D Print options are available.


These guys have sand coloured gloves with ochre helmet trims.


This set has ochre gloves and the helmet trims are all green to match the rest of the uniform.


This was tricky and was more of an experiment on the camo coat that Han Solo wears in ROTJ as like the path finders all the online images seem to differ in colouration.

  2. Excellent work Simon, like the way you've changed little details to identify each squad, but the overall scheme ties together

  3. In the UK who do you go to for 3d printing of stl files? Additionally what type of material do you ask for when ordering the print, it all seems a bit confusing to a layman as I need to order some Bunny Ears of not Khorn for a 40k army.

    1. Hi Phil. I got my characters from a licensed Skull Forge printer. I am sure you could ask for a quote for other items. If there is something from Skull Forge you are after then email him as he doesn't list everything on the site but has access to all the STL's

    1. Yeah they are really cool. I love the Imperial Scout troopers from that movie as well. The uniform is Vallejo Russian green uniform washed with GW Cthonian Camo shade.

    1. Cheers Terry! You do get one of each pose in a set. They are designed as a cross between board games miniatures and wargames miniatures the arms sort of snap fit. But they need a bit of clean up/trimming to get a nice fit.

      It would of been nice that when the released the rebel infantry as a separate unit to the core set that they did new poses to give more variety.
