Fellow Star Wars and tactical strategy fans. When you were playing zero company did you ever think, “that gunslinger ability is pretty sweet, I’d love to make my own force and throw down?” You’re in luck! There is an ever-growing tabletop game called Star Wars Legion, similar to 40K and other war games.

I got into the hobby this past year and it’s been a blast and a lot of crossover with the Zero Company game. While primarily played in-person, mods exist for tabletop simulator for those not near a game store with a community or those not open to dropping the coin to play in person. Highly recommend checking it out if Zero Company gave you the hope for more tactical fun in the Star Wars world.

As the title says this is my first war game coming from D&D. I am still far from an effective or equality painter. But as I’ve hit 9 months here are some things you can feel pride in when comparing ourselves to those who have been painting for a long time.

- Improving color pallets to increase contrast
- Mastering priming models and the basing process
- Going from 3 color models to other more colors
- For the film accurate painters, learning to blend colors to get the right balance
- Having greater army cohesion either through basing or other unifying techniques

It was for me and can be demoralizing seeing so many high quality paint jobs constantly. Know that it comes with time and all the skills you’ve learned along the way. My first and most recent paint jobs as someone still very much growing in the hobby elements.

Took a bit of a break but, was happy with how these mandos turned out.

Pickup from LA pop up. Mostly Persona with a little metaphor thrown in.
