You might want to look through some of the older comics stuff with scout troopers, especially the ones with the Imperial Remnant. The ponchos is something they tend to do a lot, combined with camo paint for their armor

Clones and droids also leave a lot of room to customize with paint schemes. I think imperial storm troopers are really the only ones that don't have a lot of color variations.

Dried out wet wipes actually make fantastic canvas ponchos for minis.

I found an ancient guide for space marine capes that I followed for ponchos on my clones (2003 clone wars style). It was literally just the cheapest kind of tissue paper (That isn't textured with pockmarks) you fold over itself 2 or 3 times, cut out into a square, poke a hole in it, put it on, and brush 1:1 water:PVA glue mixture over it, using your brush to tuck and fold it onto the mini. Costs virtually nothing and looks amazing.

If you really want to customize an army from star wars, clone troopers are your best option. They come in a variety of colors and troops so you can add them anything you want (armor bits, guns, you name it)

That's one of the reasons I love Legion and the Star Wars lore. There are years of history that need to fill the gaps and with a little bit of imagination and effort, anyone could easily create some really unique armies. Just because Disney owns it, doesn't mean the fans have to 100% accept it

I adore this approach. Clones appealed to me a lot more as a kid because when I was doing custom figures or fanart, I could paint them however I wanted. But as I grew older, I gained much more of an appreciation for the heavily regimented appearance of the Imperial rank-and-file, with their minimal changes to fit the battlefield they were fighting on. Working within these constraints, yet still adding personal artistic flair, is refreshing BECAUSE of the limitations, not in spite of them. I adore your work, and these guys look great.

I added Black cloaks and made Mimban Stormtroopers , they came out fantastic . I painted the troopers white , then glossed them . The added then wash over the entire mini , I added a tiny bit of blue to the black wash . They came out really nice

This is why I love playing as clone troopers. Like space marines, they have countless legions with their own color schemes and designs. I made mine based off the 41st elite (the guys we see with Yoda and the Wookies during the battle of Kashyyyk in Episode 3).

I'll be honest, Star Wars Legion was a game that always interested me, but was discouraged because it just didn't allow for the creative freedom of Warhammer. It's cool to see how there are methods to actually make a Stormtrooper just as awesome as a Space Marine.

I think there is still a lot of untapped potential with customization kits and alternative parts for many standard units, especially for Clone Troopers. People would go crazy for it if they actually released some official conversion parts like GW did for certain Marine chapters. But in the meantime, third party sculptors and 3d-printing are happy to fill that void along with people doing some old school conversion work just like in the video.

Nah, you can do all kinds of crazy painting. I struggled for soooo long trying to make white stormtroopers and everything by the movie.

It's a shame that Warhammer has people so closed minded with conversions

With Stormtrooper Corps/GAR you can actually do custom heraldry as a custom homebrew legion. With CIS, you can similarly paint your droids in any way you want and say they're security forces of some particular world/company and wear its livery. And rebs are insurgents and terries, they can look like anything really. The real problem with SWL is that its kits lack the posability and cosmetic options that make GW's kits (and many historicals) so great.

I’ve seen some wild conversions for Turnip 28. Now THAT game is proper grimdark.

I’ve completely avoid painting any Legion minis because I’m such a Star Wars fan that I’ll only disappoint myself because I know what everything looks like and the anxiety will be overwhelming. You’ve inspired me, I’m going in!

I’ve enjoyed painting legion precisely because there is an initial starting point for most kits. I don’t have to mull over what colours to pick for my stormtroopers, so I can just get down to painting, and once I’ve got the base down, I can decide whether or not to add some further details

​@@ecMonifysm doesnt really have that thankfully, but boy do i empathize with gsc and horde army players having to paint like 30 models for one unit

The trick I've found to making sure your basing recipe stays the same between projects is to use Model Railway materials - I posted a picture of a mini I made as a kid nearly 20 years ago to a model scenery subreddit recently asking "Does anyone know how I can get this same effect as on this model?" and someone *_actually recognised the brand_* and the same company still makes it. Some of those companies have been around decades, so it's really easy to get the same stuff consistently!

There are some pretty cool imperial army designs online for stormtrooper replacements on the board. Like the army troopers, they are much closer to 40ks guard as they can be customized per system army like with the mudtroopers, imperial navy, or sector forces like the milita from battlefront 2. If you wanted to really go out there with some ideas from legends several warlords did have unique uniforms for imperial armies and even something like the concept art from mando season 1 has good interpretations of stormtroopers that had been cut off from reinforcements. I absolutely adore your custom works and starwars is my all time favorite so i hope to see more on this subject!

Once you get passed the movie accurate paint jobs, Legion painting becomes so fun. My icicle blizzard force and mountain dew imperials are the most fun ive had paitning in a while. I apply the same thought to my MESBG, and just have a ball!

I've also camo'ed up my scout troopers. Your cloaks look much better than what I accomplished; I tried a more ghille suit approach. One thing that I found that works excellent for rifle wraps are cut strips from tea bags instead of just basic paper strips. Tea bag paper has a texture that looks closer to what real wraps are made of. Your videos always help inspire me to get painting. Now if only I could stop buying more to add to the pile of shame...

small thing to note: those red markings indicate imperial shock troopers, they're the imperial guard on Coruscant so they wouldn't really make sense being on Korriban if you keep that theme.

Those micro-tufts on the cloaks add so much to the scouts.👍

amazing work! I have never thought of making ghillies like that, super cool

You did a really good job of making troopers that have to go out ahead of a formation blend into their sounds better. I like to go off my head canon and EU stuff so that how I best enjoy Star Wars these days since Disney really ruined the IP.

I like how in A new hope the storm troopers all look perfectly immaculate in space (decontaminated), but planet-side they're rugged and covered in dirt and dust and look like they've been on a long tour of duty.

My Legion Army contains a few conversions, whilst they are kept fairly simple. I have two squads of Phase 2 troopers painted in my custom 208th legion veteran colour scheme (Grey and Red markings), one of which is a kitbash of the P1 and P2 kits, in-order to prevent my squads from looking to uniform. Three squads of Phase 1 Troopers, fitted with phase 2 heads and painted as 'Shineys' with only the squad leaders painted in 208th colours, and built by mixing various parts from other kits for the reason mentioned above. I also intend too, though haven't yet, built some imperial scout bikes (74z) as Republic variants as companion to my BARC Speeders

Yay! A Star Wars legion video! With the flow of 40k content recently, I’m super excited to see a return to the galaxy far, far, away. This video kind of encapsulates my feelings about Legion- I LOVE playing it, but I love the modeling portion of 40k so much more. Great video as usual, looking forward to hopefully seeing some more of Jay’s imperial army in the future.

In terms of Star Wars Legion, the GAR seems great because there's so many different Clone Legions you pick to paint your dudes as and you can make them all unique paint schemes inside that one theme.

I love your Legion content and hope to see more of your progress on these imperials. As someone who's never been very good at kitbashing and converting, the 3D printing scene for Legion has breathed so much life into this game for me. For imperials specifically, the remnant troopers from Skull Forge and just about anything from Squamous Miniatures are really something special if you want to add some uniqueness to your army.

Some of the favourite fanworks are those that take real life concept and apply them to star wars, ghillie capes being a prime example. If you've ever seen any of Edouard Groult's artwork he does "Realism Starwars" very well.

Just some suggestions: Give that officer a sweet Krennic poncho as well. Give that ship thing some imperial flags (can't have fascism without an absurd amount of obsessive patriotism). Just slather that Imperial Army soldier in as much brown texture paint as you can to show that they are really in the mud. Put some volleyballs and other beach equipment on the bases of those beach troopers, and put some sunblock on them so that they have that real beach smell. This might be heresy, but put some gloss varnish on those death troopers to make them look shiny. Take the red Imperial guards and place them somewhere you will never find them since they did nothing in the movies. Take the tank off its base, flip it over, and have it upside down like the rebels flipped it in an attack. Give one of the speeder bike guys a bruised baby Yoda in a brown bag.

using only paints, I made my Scout Troopers into Storm Commandos as they essentially wear the same armor but black and Made them grimy and muddy for an RPG campaign and I love them. I don't think I have been as proud until I made my own squad of Clone troopers and homebrewed the 117th expeditionary Battalion.

You can also paint some scout troopers as Storm Commandos, if you wanna add to the range of visual interest. Really slick looking conversion.

The entire Star Wars franchise would've been extremely different if ANY of those Imperial soldiers had brought a single flamethrower on Endor. They were definitely in the armory at the time since flamethrowers were used by clone troopers and the Mandolorians. Excellent conversion!

Excited to see how this develops. ❤

Awesome as always. I was just finishing my Stormtroopers and Imperial Death Troopers so it was great to watch you work at the same time. Thank you.

Ty for this episode. This felt like one of the more genuine eob episodes i have seen in a while.

those cloacks are amazing! thanks for the inspiration!

the red armor you painted on your one trooper is referred to as a shock trooper. They are specialized to use different types of special weapons during combat.

This is my favourite of your videos that I've seen to date AND maybe one of my top hobby inspo videos of all time too

This was a super enjoyable video. I think what you did with the scouts was super cool and has inspired me to try something similar with my own legion minis. I very much enjoy all of your legion content, please keep it up!!!

These came out really nicely, well done!

I love these. The leaves and the splatter paint looked great 👍 I'm going to try this. I think the ponchos need some rips, holes, and raggedy edges. So I may try that.

Have been rocking that palette for a while now and really like it. The honeycomb mostly with speedpaints has been great.

I recommend 50:50 green stuff and milliput, the mixture allows you to get a thinner more realistic looking material that takes sanding and shaping really well. It's changed my sculpting

Looking good!

These are awesome!

I love what you did with these scouts! So much so that your scouts will soon be OUR scouts. (Making some for myself, not stealing to be clear)

Excited to see more custom kitbashing in Star Wars legion

Wonderful job on these Scouts troopers. You made my favorite unit even cooler 😎

I did this same kinda stuff with my eldar rangers I have a blue and bone color scheme but my scouts have a bright red cloak since I have them based on a mars like planet with red sand. I absolutely love making scouts of any variety stand out from your army's normal paint job

Those cloaks look amazing! I enjoy watching your videos and seeing how you transform a bland model into something amazing. Awesome work!

Loved this video. I am so going to do this (at least try!). One request, I love your style and just don't change it (I mean your Vids, painting is awesome but we all change as we learn), I've seen too many channels start to get above the way they started and its the "homely" feel (and the awesome content as well as yourself) that makes this channel. Just keep it coming. 😀

They look super cool

I would love to see what you could do with more of the Legion models. Things like the Phase 1 Clone Upgrade pack, General Grevious, Droidekas, the GAVw... I would love to see your spin you put on them.

They're like Scout Troopers from Tanith. Love it

they look sick great job!

Your passion is inspiring

jays skill is insane!

Once again, im reminded to utilize small sculpting additions. I have a custom bounty hunter for necromunda, based on the kelermorph model. I wound up add some green stuff to fill in the space that would have been filled by the third arm, and his poncho/half cloak was just that little bit extra, that the model warranted.

That has given me some ideas for my Rebel army! And my Imperial army!

My Empire army operate on desert planet so troopers (storm/scout/snow) have brown cloths and bone/sand armor (the same brown wash over all) because it's easier than white for avoiding been killed (and also easier to paint). Vador, Palpatine, Krennic, Deathtroopers and Inferno Squad (maybe Veer to) gets their standard colors because they don't care to be seen. After watching "Andor" I'll painted my Imperial Officer as Dedra Meero. In the Starwars universe the Imperial Army can have multiple schemes for troopers, not just what we see in both trilogy.

That was awesome, I’ve got like 3 or 4 stormtrooper corps, I want to make one into like a 501 style to be elite looking. Just gotta get supplies and time

Gonna use this technique for my Hawkbat Battalion clones 👌

This is a great way to spice up your scouts snipers! Another way you can spice up your imperials is by getting blast effects from Deadly Print, they have a whole bunch of special effects!

Amazing as always! Although I'd love to see the Liberace-Troopers :D

They turned out so freaking great! I might steal this :P

Great video!

I love what you're doing here, introduces some much needed customisation! The biggest thing for me with Star Wars Legion is honestly the quality of the models. People always complain about the cost of GW models, but outside of the battle force boxes Star Wars is more expensive and the size and quality of the models is noticeably worse. If anyone interested is reading this don't let that discourage you. If you're a fan they're great models to collect an army of, and the games mechanics are great.

Yes, more Star Wars, please!

I know you said anime-inspired /Guard/, but the first image that popped into my head was a Tau army that focuses exclusively on blobs faceless of infantry and a small number of highly customized superheavy battlesuit, with no midsize units in between. Either way, excited to see it when you get to it! As for this video, those ponchos look amazing, and I'm totally gonna try making some cloaks for my own minis using the same method!
