First Rebels for Legion

With plenty of Galactic Empire completed it was time to turn my attention to the Rebels. Here are my test models.


As with most new collections of troops, I tend to start by painting only a few so as to quickly get a handle on what paints, techniques, etc to use.

Recipe is:
  • Grey primer
  • Skin - Foundry Flesh mid (or Foundry Night Sky mid for the Duros)
  • Helmet - VMC Stone Grey
  • Jacket & Gaiters - VMC Russian Green
  • Shirt - Foundry Buff Leather mid
  • Trousers - Foundry Rawhide mid
  • Backpack - either VMC Stone Grey or Foundry Spearshaft shade
  • Boots & straps etc - either Black or Foundry Bay Brown shade
  • Helmet ‘band’ - Foundry Conker Brown shade
  • Weapons - black
Wash with thinned GW Agrax then highlights of base colour followed by lighter Foundry triad shade(s) or simply the base mixed with a little Foundry Boneyard light. The red band on the helmet is the unit identifier, so for other units I’ll use dark green or blue, etc.

May the force be with you!
