Star Wars Legion Rebel Infantry Part 2

More Star Wars Legion this time the other half of my Rebel Infantry finished completing the two squads you get in the Core set. I had planned on doing the ATRT and Han Solo, Chewie and Luke but there is a 7TV Day in mid June I want to use as an excuse to get some other stuff done out the leadpile.


The two unit leaders (I finished the left one in the first batch)


Two Duros Troopers not sure which blue skin I prefer. But tried to make them different tones.

Z6 Rotary Blaster Cannon Troopers main staple weapon of Rebel Infantry Squads. I made perhaps the error of doing the right hand one with a pale sand jacket when his gloves also need to be pale sand to match the squad.
MPL-57 Troopers (anti armour weapons.) I convert the left one slightly by just repostioning the head. I think it works ok.


First Rebel Squad. These guys have pale sand gloves/Padding on the Duros and the ochre helmet band. 


Second squad green helmet bands to match the uniforms and ochre gloves and padding on the Duros.

All my  Rebel minis painted so far. Two Core units. One Special Forces and Commander and Operatives. I still need one more Core unit but don't fancy more Rebel Infantry purely for variety reasons. I think I may go down the 3D print route for more of those or at least invest in some alternative heads for them. I am tempted by Fleet Troopers I think most of all.

  1. Great looking force so far Simon, I know what you mean about adding variety to the force, and as you say there is a lot out there in the 3D market

    1. Cheers very much Dave! I have seen the Trooper Specialist expansion. May grab that first then see if I can get a few blaster armed Guerrilla's to make new squads.

  3. Some fleet troops would certainly help break up the sameness of the sculpts. I wonder if there were any alternative uniform colours than the blue shirt-black vest so they could fit in a little better?

    Regardless, lovely work as ever Simon. A very nice looking force so far!

    1. Cheers very much Dai. Yeah I am not sure about colours either yet tbh. I may do the same green trousers as the rest of my force on them and see how it looks.

  5. Great stuff Simon! You won't be disappointed with a box of Fleet Troopers mate 😀
    I put my vote to the Duros on the right for skin colour

    1. Cheers I quite like the helmets on the Fleet Troopers as well. I have a Cara Dune model but can't figure out where to fit her in yet.

  8. Beautiful figures and wonderful paint jobs on them. Distinguishing the two squads with subtle uniform colour changes works veyr well, as does your simple chnages of repostiioning heads for a bit of variety.
    Job well done I;d say and the group shot much appreciated - quite a force !
