I decided to take some time off for the holidays and the rainy weather spurred me to get a lot of painting done. Over the last few weeks, I managed to complete the rest of my unpainted Star Wars Legion Rebels. Some are official figures, while others are proxies available from various 3D printers.
Standard Rebel Troopers from the game box.
Rebel Commandos with Orrimaarko (Prune Face).
Unofficial Rebel Irregulars from a wide variety of species, including the NED-B leader droid from "Kenobi." While the official figures are great, they are limited in terms of variety and I wanted more aliens on my table.
Unofficial Jedha Partisans from "Rogue One." Since I wanted to be able to use them both before and after the events of the film, I decided not to get Saw Gerrera and other charters that I knew didn't survive the Jedha attack. The reference photos I found for Kullbee did not include a coat, so I took a guess and painted it blue to match the trousers he wore.
While I found a good photo of the unnamed partisan on the left, the figure on the right was harder to track down. The only photo available was a black and white concept drawing, which didn't help with painting. However, looking at screen captures from the movie, he appeared in the background (minus the turban) for a few seconds and was dressed in very dark colors with lights on his chest unit. Not wanting him to look completely like a Turkish Star Wars Darth Vader knockoff, I went with dark brown robes instead of black.
Cool looking unit of rebels. Hope you can convince your sons to play with you. Happy New Year! All the best, Karl
