Rebel Specialists Painted

It's been a while ago that I bought this expansion, they have been on the painting shelf for some time but other projects always got priority. I don't really believe in the generic commander and the comms specialist. I did use the command cards at my last tournament and I think they are pretty decent. better than the basic command cards from the core set. Since you can use them without taking the generic commander from this expansion I will probably use these more often when I make lists with only special commander.

The bots will probably get some more play as they have more use, they are a solid points investment and I have seen other players use them with good results. I will try to add both at my next game and see how they work for me.

The humans on the other hand will probably not be used unless I will play some narrative games. I really like using the special character commanders because of their abilities and command cards. They were fun to paint though and complete my Star Wars Legion Rebel collection so I had to have them anyway..

Pathfinders painted

The Pathfinders have landed on Scarif. When this expansion was released for Star Wars Legion I just finished watching Rogue One for the fourth time. I really like that movie so I wanted to paint this unit to match the original. The only change I made was with Corporal Maddel. She has blond hair in the movie but I gave her red hair. The contrast looks better in my opinion.

I have played a few games with the Pathfinders but I'm not a big fan. They have some nice abbilities but overall I'm not convinced. 

I rather play a unit of wookies that really do well for me but maybe it's just my play style. The Imperials had a unit of deathtroopers released as a mirror unit but they are a lot better. I guess they will look nice in my display cabinet...

X-34 Landspeeder painted

I just finished painting the rebel X-34 Landspeeder. This has been my favourite unit to paint so far. I have used my airbrush to paint the landspeeder and painted the three figures by hand. I wanted to paint the model up like Luke's landspeeder from the original trilogy but the striping was a bit to hard for me so I went with a simular paint scheme but my own design.

I really love the figures riding on the landspeeder's back. Unfortunately the Twi'lek had a varnishing mishap. For the very first time in 15 years of painting the varnish frosted. You can see this in on the left arm, Rocket launcher en left foot. I need to figure out if I can still fix that. I did like painting the Twi'Lek.

Both riders on the back are magnetized so I can take them off if I want. I think most of the time I will leave them on because they look so good. I think this is an amazing sculpt . The figures are painted so they match the rest of my rebel army. Makes it look they hopped on in the heat of battle.

You can see where the magnets are but I tried to hide them as good as I could.
