Introduction I had been planning to paint an Age of Sigmar Realmgate in a desert or Tomb Kings-inspired style for years. The model seemed like an obvious candidate for a warm, weathered stone palette, but for whatever reason, I kept putting it off. Eventually, I pulled it out and painted it. There isn’t anything particularly […]
Introduction Dry, dusty bases are useful for far more than Star Wars miniatures. The same basic approach works for almost any desert, arid, or rocky environment, whether you’re building a sandy battlefield, a wasteland, or something inspired by a particular fictional world. For this project, Geonosis was the inspiration. My Star Wars: Legion Separatist army […]
An Experiment of Airbrushing Contrast Paints The Persuader-class droid enforcer is one of those Star Wars: Legion models that looks like it should be a complicated painting project. There’s a lot of machinery packed into a relatively small vehicle, along with the long articulated body, exposed gears and those strange little eye slits at the […]

Their large armor panels, clean details, and simple color blocking make them approachable while still offering plenty of opportunities for highlights and refinement. This guide walks through the process I […]
Salamanders!! A fan favorite among Space Marine Chapters, the Salamanders embody the spirit of Defenders of Humanity. Unlike many of their brothers, they’re known for putting the protection of Imperial civilians above all else—even if it means straying from their original orders. On the tabletop and in the lore, they’re also inseparable from their signature […]
Introduction The towering AT-ST walker is one of the most iconic vehicles in the Star Wars universe, and on the tabletop it’s just as imposing. Whether you’re adding it to your Star Wars: Legion Imperial army for tactical firepower or simply building it as a display piece, painting this model is a chance to capture […]
