Imperial Shoretroopers

The Shoretroopers for Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars Legion were a joy to paint, not least because of the contrast paint used. As usual I start painting with a three-color zenithal prime (a thin coat of black Vallejo surface primer, followed with a 45-degree application of gray, and finished with white from above).

The colors are as follows, unless otherwise noted (all paints are Vallejo model color and shades are Army Painters Quickshades).

	Base Colors	Details
Armor	Skeleton Horde Medium	Basecoated with a 1:1 mix of Skeleton Horde contrast paint and contrast medium
	Pale Sand	Thinned and glazed as a highlight
Pants & Shoes	USA Olive Drab German Grey Buff	Watered down to a wash and applied
Leather	Flat Earth	Basecoast
	Smoke	Thinned to a wash, tinting the leather areas
Details	Red Flat Red	1:1 mix and applied to one arm. washed with red tone and Flat Red used as a highlight
	Azure Blue	Used for the blue armor markings
	Flat Yellow	Used for the blue armor markings

The base was done in my usual way for the empire. See Darth Vader: A Study in Black or Emperor Palpatine: The Pallid Face of Evil.

Until next time, adventure on!
