My friends have been talking about playing Star Wars legion again, and that motivated me to finish up some models that have been built and primed for probably close to a year: the three members of Inferno Squad, a commando unit of the Empire.
Inferno Squad made up some of the protagonists of the single player campaign of the Battlefront II video game that I enjoyed a lot when I played through it last year some time. I got excited when I saw that there were models of them for the Star Wars Legion game, and doubly so when I found them under the tree last Xmas! The kit for Iden Versio comes with a selection of weapons that match what she can use in the game, so I kitted her out they way I enjoyed playing the most, which I thought was a neat thing to let players do.
Painting-wise there is not much new here, they were painted with the same black recipe I’ve used for all the black models in the army (i.e. build up highlights using Vallejo Dark Sea Blue and Vallejo Ghost Grey, with shiny materials – the armour, boots, and gloves – highlighted brighter than the cloth elements).
This was a nice break from larger projects, a quick two-session paintjob (one this morning and one tonight!). It’s nice to be able to have these done, they made up most of my remaining Legion models needing to be painted. Left now are a couple of droids and a comms trooper!

Those are very nice! 🙂 I’d never have thought of using Vallejo Dark Sea Blue as a black highlight so I might give it as try (since I’ve got some).

Thanks John! I really like highlighting black that way, keeps it looking black more than grey highlights do I find.

Painting black well can be as much about edge highlights as anything else and you did really well with this squad. The basing, in particular, is awesome! Were you going for an Endor vibe by any chance or just a generic woodlands planet? From rats to WWII to Sci-Fi, you seem to be going from strength to strength! 🙂

Thanks a lot! I’m definitely going for an Endor look with these, I made a post a while back on the bases (https://wordpress.com/post/lairofthelagomorph.wordpress.com/231). I’m pretty chuffed with how they turned out, it was a bit of an experiment at the time, but good results I think!

Dark Sea Blue and Ghost Grey, you say? I definitely have the former. I’ll have to check or buy the latter. Because I’m totally NOT going to be stealing your methods here based on how good these models look. Nosiree….
