I just got into Star Wars Legion which also happens to be my first miniature game. The paining process seems very daunting for someone as non-artistic as me. However, your videos are very educational and give me confidence. I'm hoping I can star paining in a few weeks once I have gathered all material. As a beginner I will probably just stop at the base colors. They look perfect for me at that point. Thank you again for these videos.

Thanks to you and your tutorials, I now have an almost 100% painted Imperial force!

I think I prefer this shading technique to the one you used for the Imperial Assault Stormtroopers.

Tried both the IA method, and the Legion method. The IA method of priming white, adding detail and using nuln oil is so much more effective for beginners like me!

Some people will insist on, or feel financially limited to, using cheaper craft acrylics to paint miniatures. Let me stress that WHITE is one of the colors that you really need a quality, high pigment paint, designed for models, such as citadel, Vallejo, etc. If you try a cheap white, you may have a hard time getting the coverage and texture you need, and with it, you can make a mess of your models. Spend the money for the good paint, it makes the world of difference, and is critical for white...

Uncle Deadly I know this comment is ancient, but I'd like to absolutely stress the same with Yellow. Yellow in my opinion is sometimes even more important to get right than a nice, crisp white.

Hi Kruse Control! Sure - just buy Abaddon Black for the black, and you could try both the Citadel Whites - White Scar and Ceramite White - to see which you like (they're both the same colour, but the Ceramite White is thicker/more opaque). For German Grey you could just mix black with a little white, or use a roughly equal mix of Mechanicus Standard Grey and Abaddon Black. Alternatively is there anywhere online you can order Vallejo paints? (I do prefer their black and white paints to the Citadel ones) :)
