5hrs in painting, shot off the table in turn 1. Thanks for sharing your work, these troopers look fantastic.

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.

Just got my first core set for Legion. Your videos have been so helpful! It's like Bob Ross but with badass stormtroopers.

[drkknght]

I've said it before, and I will say it again. Your videos are not only educational, but very relaxing!

Who the f*** gives a thumb down for this awesome guy and his painting. Learned all my painting "skills" from you. Perfect tutorials!

[flamergamer]

I will be following all your guides. I'm a new player as of 8/20/2022. I love the detail and for the cost of this game/hobby I feel that without this amount of detail I would be doing myself a disservice. Thankyou for the high quality videos and I hope that this game will bring me joy as much as it has brought to you. <3

You make painting white (arguably one of the two hardest colors to paint) look so easy. It's a simple scheme and technique, that works!

[jonathangutierrez]

Fantastic! This seems much quicker than shading the whole miniature and then building back up to pure white. Thanks for this!

[jconway]

I love that your technique constantly evolves when painting these stormtroopers. This video almost makes me want to redo my Imperial Assault troopers...almost.

I watched this video when it came out 2 years ago when i begain my journey into table top wargames. And i was looking up legion videos and decided to give it a watch again. I simply cant believe its been 2 years.

Seeing the stormtrooper with no arms just makes me hear “It’s merely a flesh wound” in my head

[JakeAkinTUL]

This was a great video! Just getting into legion now and am so excited to finish building my stormtroopers tonight. Hopefully can have everything primed and ready to paint in full this weekend. Will definitely have your videos playing! Thank you!

[cabledetached]

very cool to see this compared to your early imperial assault stormtrooper videos. It's great to see you progressing as an artist as you help everyone here watching on their own journeys.

[theeasytargets]

Displaying Jedi-like patience there. Excellent work

[Arandompotato]

I have just recently ordered starwars legion and your videos have helped me get an understanding which colours to use.
And the best techniques to paint the figures.

[KevinAherne]

Thanks for these guides. I've followed this one and the Vader one so far and I'm delighted with my results.

[Lew]

I searched the eintire internet for a painting video with good quality. Here I am. Amazing quality, amazing explaining. And it´s relaxing! Thank you!

[spacewarriors]

Barely got into Star Wars legion but your videos have helped me so much

[TheLeejoohong]

Your painting videos are the most easiest video to follow. Thank you for your work.

I fairly recently did about my fourth re-paint on a squad of stormtroopers and thought they looked pretty good. Set them on a shelf and went about my business. About 3 days later I stopped to look at them and thought to myself that they looked a lot like the thumbnail for this video. And at that point I was like... I can finally paint minis
Seriously, your videos are very good. I appreciate how you mention how a lot of the steps passed Base coating is mostly optional and I always like having your videos on in the background while I'm doing my painting. So thank you, love the content
