SWL: Imperial Stormtroopers III

I am halfway through my four Corps of Imperial Stormtroopers and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

My goal was to possibly have my 800 point Narrative army ready/painted for Las Vegas 2023, it looks like I am on track to actually have them completed much quicker and ready for the Mid Mitten Gaming Convention in November (which I am using this event as a test for the list).

SWL: Imperial Stormtroopers II

The next few posts wont be anything exciting, just more Stormtroopers, but they are the Corps of a Star Wars Legion army and are needed.

I have been working on four Units of Stormtroopers, and then I will circle back and get to the Heavy Weapons for the Units.

Here are 'Imperial Stormtroopers II'.

SWL: Imperial Stormtroopers I

It was only a matter of time before I had to get to any of the Corps Units (since they are the core of every army) and the dreadful painting of white.

I am no showcase painter, I like to just have my models look decent on the tabletop and painting white is my least favorite.

I wanted to find a quick and easy method (which I did), but the first Unit came out a bit more dirtier than I had hoped for (which I started correcting now on new units).  From three feet across the battlefield, they look fine.

Here is my first Corps Unit for the Galactic Empire 'Imperial Stormtroopers'.

SWL: Director Orson Krennic (Architect of Terror)

I prefer painting individual characters over units (that s probably why I enjoy painting Marvel Crisis Protocol so much) and I have one more character for my Star Wars Legion Galactic Empire Army before I get to some assembly line painting of troopers.

Here is 'Director Orson Krennic the Architect of Terror'

SWL: Emperor Palpatine (Ruler of the Galactic Empire)

The collector in me wanted this next model, besides how can you collect Galactic Empire army without the Emperor himself.

As of now I have no immediate plans on playing this character, but as my collection grows and I learn the game better, I'll be changing up my lists and he will see the playing the table.

SWL: Imperial Officer (Ruthless Commander)

When running 'Darth Vader' (Operatve), I still need a Commander to lead my Galactic Empire.

With the high points cost of 'Darth Vader' already, no better way than with an 'Imperial Officer'.

Weekly Chronicle 2022 #29 (Marvel Crisis Protocol /Star Wars Legion Updates)

It has been a while since the last Weekly Chronicle (6 weeks, just before ACO) and thought it was time for a little catch up and what we have in the pipeline.

Marvel Crisis Protocol has been going strong all year, ever since we got back from the Las Vegas Open, it has been the main game for me, and I really enjoy playing it.  I also went full stem on painting models for MCP and we are at 79 painted models so far.

Events are also lined up for MCP, we attended the Atlantic City Open in June, and now we have Second Wind 4 in October and Mid Mitten Gaming Con in November all lined up, those will probably be it until 2023.

Star Wars Legion has really caught me by surprise, I did not think we would be adding in this game this year.  What caught my eye was an event upcoming at LVO 2023 called "Unconventional Warfare" which is a bit of a narrative event that does not require fully painted model (although I am trying to be fully painted).  This event will complement our MCP events at LVO 2023.

These two games are going to be keeping me busy for the rest of 2022 and probably all of 2023.

SWL: Darth Vader (The Emperor's Apprentice)

We are going to finish out the week with another Star Wars Legion model, and this time it will be the second version of this model for SWL, 'Darth Vader (The Emperor's Apprentice)'.

This 'Darth Vader is an Operative in the game, he is not a strong as his Commander version, but he costs less in Point and his Movement is faster and get up into battle much faster (where you want him),

SWL: Darth Vader (Dark Lord of the Sith)

We have a turn of events from what you have been reading/seeing for most of this year.

Marvel Crisis Protocol just moved to a side burner (not that back) and Star Wars Legion is receiving the painting brush for a little bit of time.

I m waiting on some of the new Citadel paints that are releasing this weekend before I work on any of the 'Stormtroopers', so I thought I would start on some of the Commander and Operative models first, since those paints I did have.

There are two different 'Darth Vaders' currently in the game, and up first in the Commander model 'Darth Vader (Dark Lord of the Sith)'.

These models are a smaller scale than MCP, and are only worth the standard 1 point each compared to 2 points with MCP.
