(Part 2) Best products from r/SWlegion

This is what I use for pretty much all my FFG games. It doesn't look like the image on the page, if you scroll down to the first review (where they're storing 7 Wonders tokens in it), it looks like that. It's great for Legion because one of the wide sections without any dividers in it holds the movement tools and the four range ruler pieces, while all the tokens fit in the other two rows easily.

That's the paint I have, I bought the army painter set of 50. I also bought a set of cheap craft acrylics to use for terrain, they average out to like $1 per bottle, magicfly Acrylic 30 pack.

You can find a bunch of paint racks like the ones I got, but here are the ones I bought OPHIR Wooden Paint Rack Stand Pigment Ink Bottle Paints Tool Storage with Cabinet Holder Organizer for 58 Bottles of Paints https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077TGW5QH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Z22nDb0GR3P3T

As far is the light, just search on Amazon for Ottlite And find one you like

Just and FYI, if you search for Ender Toys on Amazon, they have a ton of 3D printed terrain for relatively good prices.

The foam I use is just little cut outs from Amazon delivery packages or misc stuff. Nothing overly professional.

I ordered this back in February and have been using it ever since. The compressor has been pretty reliable, and it doesn't hurt to have 2 gravity-fed brushes in the kit for that price.

I probably sit down to use mine a couple of times a week with a few down weeks mixed in. I'd probably estimate that the compressor has probably logged a solid 55 to 70 hours of total work over the past 3 months between learning/practice, X-Wing Minis, Legion, and terrain making.

They looked too small when I saw them in a shop.

However these are great scale, though a bit expensive

That's a tough question. I just bought this...


Vallejo Model Colors

​

I wish that I would have just started with this. This set has everything except for some skin tones. You should also pick up some washes. I would suggest a large bottle of both Games Workshop "Nuln Oil" and "Agrax Earth Shade". I realize this is a lot of money, however it's a good value over paying $4 a bottle or so at a local store. I support my local store, but paint gets expensive buying it in one's and two's.

Here are my steps. Happy to answer any further questions. I will say be minimal with the rocks and grasses. A little variation is what you want, but ultimately I was going for a definite sand look.

• Base with Stirland Mud, sprinkle with grit while still wet to give more variation. I use Army Painter's Black Battleground material
  
• After drying use regular glue, like Elmer's, to apply some small rocks. I use Army Painter Battlefield Rocks. For larger base models like the AT-RT I also got some of these larger rocks to apply.
  
• Paint over with a coat very watered down Abaddon Black
  
• Wash with a coat of watered down Nuln Oil (gives it a more matte finish)
  
• Drybrush very lightly with Skavenblight Dinge. I try to keep it very dark, so I use only a very light amount of drybrushing to give it a little variation
  
• Pick out a few rocks and small bits of grit with Citadel's Dawnstone and a few others with Tallarn Sand.
  
• Give the Dawnstone rocks a light wash of Nuln Oil and drybrush with Administratum Grey when dry
  
• Give the Tallarn Sand rocks a light wash of Agrax Earthshade and drybrush with Karak Stone when dry
  
• Apply grasses as you feel appropriate. I use Woodland Scenic's 2mm Medium Green Static Grass and a little bit of Green Blended Turf.

I use a 4 for everything. I started with 0 and 00, but I use a retarder so it keeps the paint from drying in the brush. I can paint a lot quicker with more paint in the brush and I can even get the very fine points with the 4.

Edit: this was done with airbrush base black, #4 series 7, and a dry brush: https://imgur.com/gallery/wN4LH

Edit: Also cleaning is important, here is a thread on that :

I use this stuff and it is incredible at getting paint out and keeping brushes happy.
Brush Soap

For my tokens i use a hardware sorter/holder. The dividers slip out and they are about $2-3.

For figures/minis battlefoam is awesome, but can get pricey. I used a Stanley stackable toolbox from amazon for a long time. You can store any terrain/larger models in the top* and then buy the ones that stack under it for trooper units/small base vehicles. I'll try and find a link from my old order.

Edit: found the part that stacks under the toolbox. The product line is Stanley Click and Connect.

1/48 scale I believe is what you might want to look for.

I got this.. it looks to scale (an ATRT rider guy fit inside and looked proportional .. give or take a few millimeters.:
[Amazon -
Revell Tie Fighter Model ] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0125KV5RO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Ornament box plus metal sheet plus 6x2mm magnets glued under the bases. Much cheaper and much higher storage density than foam trays. I can fit my two cores plus an AT-ST in one level.

The filler primer I use... a few minutes. It dries really fast. Filler primer doesn't work magic, though. It just helps.

XTC3D may be another way to go.

You could try something like this:

6' x 4' Open Field Neoprene Tabletop Battlemat with Carrying Case by Stratagem https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FY5ZH58/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_KKGgAb26MQHQ7

Can I hype you up like this?

Star Wars: Legion - Dice Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0773Y8MTS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PgcQAb86DZ199

I got the paint set on amazon for 25-30 ish USD. It’s army paint brand, which I think is the same brand as the upcoming legion paints.

Here you go!

Not offhand. The one I own is just a generic one I found on Amazon for $4. Link
