Zorpazorp I’m still waiting for glue and now mars basing material... again lol
@@zst0rme700 order was just delivered to my freight depot, I'm going to zip round there and pick it up, should be in the website in 24 hrs max 🥰
Thanks for your patience bro
btw thats not a e-11d the e-11d is used by the galatic empire the blaster that the phase opne clone is holding is the dc-15
Absolutely wonderful video. But.... the clones used DC-15A rifles and DC-15 Carbines. E-11s were what Stormtroopers used.....
Right you are sir!
Ha I see
And DC-15s. If I am not mistaken.
@Angry _ I think he means DC-15 S. Not plural of DC-15.
@@Bigtimegamer-dl3dx im a bit late, but don't forget they used DC 15 LE's towards the end of the war!
For future reference, contrast doesn't mix well with water so wet pallets aren't the best for this. But asides the blasters being called E-11 models instead of DC-15A or S variants you did a spot on job
Thanks buddy!! That's all good advice!
First method looks really good! 2nd method works as well, but I prefer the first
Thanks man, me too 😊
Funny, I am the opposite 😜
I feel like I learned a little bit of science in the art of painting minis. Awesome job!
Haha that's awesome, thanks Isaac :D
Yeah I'm doing an assignment on fluid mechanics including surface tension 😂😂
I'm looking forward to seeing your ideas for troopers phase 2 or other colour schemes for the clones! Thanks for the tutorials I wouldn't have managed to paint my army otherwise.
No problem Antonio!!
I've got a box of Phase twos sitting there waiting to get done Haha sooooon!
A few months ago I wanted to play a strategy game like Warhammer 40k, but had zero investment in them. What I did have were many LEGO Star Wars sets, particularly the Clones and CIS. So I set out to build my own simplified version of the strategy game with minifigs and vehicles. It doesn't surprise me that a game like Star Wars Legion exists; and I am happy that this part of the franchise is alive and well!
Duuuude I literally did the same thing about five years ago focusing on utilising the brick built nature of the Lego models to factor into the gameplay. Damage from weapons would be randomly allocated to regions of the ships and then individual bricks would be removed to show damage. Of those bricks were key systems like weapons or shields, the ship lost those systems haha
Good fun!
Does this mean we might see some terrain for Star Wars too? Love your terrain and painting videos.
You know it does ;)
Great tutorial! I love the clone models but the white always seemed so daunting, but you made it look so easy here, looking forward to seeing more tutorials on the way
Thanks Davy!! Glad I could help :)
I’m finally getting (back) into Legion and exploring ways to paint the clones. Couple of great techniques to consider here thanks!
Great to hear!
Used this to paint my stormtroopers, looks awesome! Was going for a weathered style trooper, so thanks a bunch!
No problem!
I’m going to use this method to paint my stormtroopers too! Thanks for sharing. I’m gonna dry brush my scout troopers game color off white. I think that will give a cool contrast between the different types.
Wow they are awesome black and white my worst colours to paint awesome job
They were mine too!!!
I came here because I love your lord of the rings videos and I absolutely love legion as well. Great tutorial and thank you so much for the amazing content. I cannot express enough how helpful and awesome this channel is. Thank you!
Thanks so much Joe 😊 glad you're enjoying it all man!
That wet working tip is really good
Cheers man! It's saved me sooooo much pain :)
Just getting into legion now and these will be my very first minis paint. Super excited and this is just what I needed!
Runnnnn Fooorrrreeeeessssstttttt!!!!! But glad I could help dude 😁
They look great mate, can't wait to pick some up!
Thanks Zach! 😊
I’ve already painted 5 units of stormtroopers, and 3 units of speeder bikes. I still have a ton of white/black units to paint, and I think I’ll be trying out this first technique. Thanks!
Ah that awesome man! Hope it's useful for you 😁
easily my favorite method to painting trooper armor now. can't wait to try it!
Thanks Nik :D
Much prefer the first method. To me the first, even before the drybrush, looks nicer than the second when finished. I'd also like to add you're tempting me to get some clones, even though I much prefer the Original Era. Clones are cool, their enemy always seems to be pretty crappy though, as a child watching Ben Kenobi explain the Clone Wars to Luke, I always imagined it was a war between clones.
Yeah me too actually!! Haha clones uprising or something haha. Glad you're enjoying it all Pat, I need to get back to Legion 😁
Can you do a video of you playing Star Wars Legion? That would be pretty sick!
Hahahaha oh squirrel. Hold on to your hat! Gimme another 36 hours.
Looking forward to seeing u do the speeder
Thanks man, should have it up next week :)
My dear lad, the Troopers' weapons are the DC-15A (Automatic Rifle) and the DC-15S (Semi-Automatic Rifle).
And also, amazing job.
Thanks dude on both accounts 😊😊😊
They were both automatic
These look great, thank you. I will be using the first technique on my clones I just assembled and primed! As for the B1 Battle Droids, I hated assembling them, specifically the arms and heads.
No problem dude!
Thank you so much for this great tutorial. Specially the version 1 approach was an eye opener! I will apply this to my stormtroopers!
Lovely Marc! Make sure you post photos up to our Facebook page I'd love to see them 😊 facebook.com/groups/zorpazorp
This is how I did my stormies. Great video!
Awesome! Thank you!
I hated painting clone armor but I want do a diorama based on clones, this is a life saver
Great video especially as I just got my clones and to treat and street them quickly.
Glad I could help man!
I dont play Clones but dude. The trick with the Nuln Oil pulling the contrast paint into the right places is fucking neat. Gonna try this out.
Love the work you put into those tutorials, amazing quality on both minis, not much of a difference between them really. Looking forward to some more Contrast, especially if you consider getting back to MESBG with them! Cheers!
Lots more MESBG painting tutorials not to worry! Glad you're enjoying the content 😊
If you made the drybrush damp on the second part the clones would've come out like the first set and even better as its a slightly shorter paint job doing it that way, it's an in-between of a drybrush and overbrush that stops that chalky look of pure drybrushing
I really liked this tutorial, I followed it for my legion models, it was great right up until the basing stage. I don't know what I've done differently but my Mars Earth looks nothing like the one in this video. Mine just looks like sand, not gravel, and as soon as I get to the dry bush stage, it just all brushes off and doesn't apply. Even dry brushing the rocks just removed the pigment and turns them white. I even used the same PVA glue.
Where did you buy yours mate?
Was looking for something like this and it's perfect. Thanks!
No problem 😊
Just the tutorial I needed.. thank you !!
No problem Pete!
I love you for teaching me a new way to do my Stormies. This is great stuff!
Thanks man! I totally overlooked that it's good for Stormies too haha 😂
Epic! Thank you
No problem!
Just like the simulations!
Set em up and knock em down
Defo coping your 1st style, love the cleaner look that you can weather later.
Me too :D
spend 6 hrs trying to make this work today. idk why this is so hard but looks so easy lol
Absolutely loved this!
Thanks mate!
Great Tutorial!! I will be using the first method on my clones!! I like the shiny aspect of the figures!! Btw you might consider painting a dark hand on the chest of one of the heavy gunners!! That's the scheme of a clone on the series part of domino squad called Hevy!!
Dude I should totally do a whole line in Domino squad!! I wonder big they'll get custom profiles?
You could do a sort of what-if and have them with the 501st color scheme like how fives and echo had it during the Kamino battle episodes
@@Zorpazorp Yeah they might!! With the new seasons coming and Echo coming back to life it's totally possible!!
@@ixavdacity that's a great idea!!
@@ixavdacity that's a sweet idea!!!
Nice tutorial, even though it differs a bit from how I will do it. I think that I am more leaning to how you did the seargent 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent work
Thanks dude!
Reckon Apothecary White contrast would do the clone armor nicely
I cover that technique in this video :)
@@Zorpazorp Wasn't able to finish the video when I left the comment silly me! Thanks for covering both :)))
@@FinnLacksXP All good man :) glad you enjoyed it!
Laughing at all the gatekeepers talking about the e11. I bet they wonder why their women or dates won't talk star wars with them. Also, amazing first technique. You gained a sub for life. I painted three units of clones in thirty minutes and they look so Sheek and beautiful.
Hahaha thanks man ;) Yeah I looooove the first tehcnique too. Stay tuned man you're going to LOVE what's coming out in a few weeks!! Thanks for the support :)
I found this channel yesterday, your content is fantastic!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks dude! Got so much legion content about to drop, been filming all day today and last week :D
@@Zorpazorp Awesome!! I've recently got into model making and these videos have been really fun and incredibly helpful!!
@@benkylo8015 That's awesome man, glad I could help! Stay tuned!
Pardon my saying but don't Gen1 Clone sergeants have green on their armour? Lts Blue, Captains red and Commanders yellow/gold. Awesome job btw.
They sure do man! I'm going to do a seperate video down the track on painting squad markings and insignia :) for now just wanted to show folks the basic stuff.
@@Zorpazorp Awesome! Can't wait.
Yep. Phase 1 armour has colouring based on rank and role, while Phase 2 colouring tends to be based on which unit the individual is in.
I'm using both base schemes ...gonna use one to paint the 501st/ and the other will be painted as the 212th
Hell yeah dude
*pockets video for when I paint white at any point in my life*
Haha cheers bro! Yeah it's a good little technique 😊
Really wish I could find some of the Lukes stuff available in the US.
They do have a supplier there they used to be called Kings Games and Hobbies but are currently rebranding, otherwise we ship there starting from $24AUD for 500g :)
Are you planning to take your Clones into a campaign or tournament? If so, are you gonna add details - like Battle Droid pieces, scorch marks, or each clone's personal touches - as proof of their experience?
And even if you're not, are you getting the upcoming Phase 1 Clone Upgrade Expansions to your squads?
Yes to both dude!! Absolutely yes to both 😁😁😁
@@Zorpazorp Cool. Good hunting!
Looks cool but for sergeant they have olive green coloured armour parts apart from that it looks cool
Gen 1 should all be armed with the long blasters then.
I looooove the Dc15a that scene where a clone just leaps forward and mows down all those droids in AoTC is amazing haha
Cool video. Can you also do a painting tutorial for the BARC Speeder Bikes?
Definitely bro! It's on the way just haven't found the time yet 😁
awsome job btw
Thanks though bro :)
3:50 it was dc-15a
the e-11 was used by the stormtroopers
I knowwwwww haha my Star Wars brain was rusty 😂
@@Zorpazorp its all good my dude
It's a DC-15S carbine
DC-15A is the full length blaster rifle
#NerdAlert
@@FraserJBWalker i love the simplistic look of the carbine
@@FraserJBWalker ah sick thanks man!
Great guide Zorpa! Used your droid guide and then this for the clones - although I’ve just started - need your advice I used corax white as a primer and it’s turned out a bit grey - should I do a white scar layer let it dry and then go in with the glaze?
Yeah that's why I use the Tamiya, it's a really bright white. Could layer the white scar but it will take a lot of time, might be worth trying to grab a brighter primer? You can still work up from Corax but your drybrush will have to do more work and it wont look as clean.
What are you using for your paint pallet? Tissue paper in a bit of water? Sorry start from square 1 here....
Baking paper in a tub with a chux cloth underneath :)
awesome
Thanks mate :D
Hey mate, what method would you recommend to someone who’s new to the miniature scene/painting in general?
I’ve ordered the clone wars core set and I’m really keen to try get them looking this good!
Honestly mate even for beginners I reckon the Nuln Oil glaze is easier and looks way better, plus it'll help you sharpen up skills like brush control, but the wetworking really makes it easier.
Stay tuned for some mind blowing legion stuff in a fortnight I'm so excited!!!!
Hey its the same with me. Only. I bought it in February and haven't been able to play yet :(. Also wondering if you could release a guide for captain rex especially the freehand ING. Thanks and subbed
Ive made a custom base for the character, what colour would you use for the base for the geonosis colours?
Mars Earth base ready and then I use Charred Brown by Vallejo around the rim and give it a drybrush lightly with plague brown
Can you do the first method with storm troopers too? I’ve seen a lot of video of people getting really in depth with other grays, whites and blacks to make details really pop. I’m just like can’t I prime them white, and do your first method for a good result too?
You absolutely can, I have no idea why people dont use this method on Stormies if they want fast results! 😊
Man i really want to get I to Legion and miniature painting in general. I sadly have no idea where to start?
The core set is a good starting point buddy! Great value!
Rewatching in preparation of painting my Stormtroopers this weekend and it occurs to me; why not paint the black 'eyebrow' straight after the white? Wouldn't it mean you can do it without too much worry of screwing up since it's just white below and nothing else? I know the rest of the black is done using the wet blending to make it easier but this doesn't need that.
That would definitely work man, sounds good to me :)
In the first method, instead of using Tamiya Fine White Primer, would I get the same result with Citadel White Scar Primer?
Do the contrast paints have to go onto contrast primer to do their thing, or will will any decent primer still allow the contrast paints to do their magic?
not at all bro! The contrast primer is just primers of a certain colour the GW marketed as the undertones. You can whack them over anything :)
You should do Warhammer painting tutorials as well.
Which system bro?
@@Zorpazorp 40k
On the way sometime soon!
Awesome, nice to see some Star Wars here as well? Will there be a board and/or some terrain to go along with the miniature painting tutorials? Because that would be just great :D
There suuure will!!! 😊😊😊
@@Zorpazorp
Nice vídeo
Cheers buddy!!
thanks for the tutorial. I'm very new to painting miniatures (just started with SW legion), so these are really helpfull. question, will the wet working technique work with army painter quickshades?
Absolutely will mate :D glad you enjoyed it!
Could you do the other clones like the arc troopers or red ones
I enjoyed the video and the troopers look great. But I don’t really understand what the black contrast paint is actually doing here. Why not just black paint?
The black contrast gives you a really nice natural graduation of tone with naturally forming grey highlights and deep black shadows. Pure Black would be very flat and one dimensional by comparison :)
Nice video 👍🏾, would the glaze work with nuln oil and the white contrast?
As in using the Nuln oIL glave over the Apothcary white? You could but they're essentially trying to do the same job :)
Zorpazorp I just wan trying to avoid getting lamia medium
Bro you know what would be really cool
If you painted the sear grant with his blue stripes
Yeah I'll do doing another video on advanced rankings and alternate squat colourings 😊😊
Sgt has green markings dude. Lieutenant is the phase one clone with blue markings. :-)
wouldnt applying a layer paint of white (like white scar) get an even smoother result than drybrushing ?
Yes definitely but you lose too much of the toning I think, and of you thinned it it would just put white into the recesses?
@@Zorpazorp maybe , guess i could thin it just a little so that it doesent flow out of control into the recess , or maybe i could thinn some base white (corax white) and try that one since base paint isnt as thin as layer
My thoughts as well, also, dry brushing white have a tendency to chalk up.
Are you gonna be doing a BARC speeder paint guide?
Sure am bro it's in the works!
I wonder of you could blue epoxy like a tennis ball or something to make the energy sheild
That's a cool idea! I got some 3D printed an they're pretty cool
@@Zorpazorp i ment to comment this on the droideka video lol woops!
Just curious, I was looking online at the different contrast paints, would the space wolf grey work better than apothecary white? It seems to give a some what similar level of white on the highs but the recesses seem a lot darker. Do you have any comments or experience in regards to this? Thanks!
Hey Brian! I haven't tried it but I think they would both work better over a bright white prime, so maybe do that and perhaps thin it a little bit with contrast medium to try and retain more of that white :) If you give it a go be sure to post i on our community page, facebook.com/groups/zorpazorp
Hi nice video, can the wetwork also be done with oil colour ?
Definitely man, oils stay wetter for much longer so you can do all sorts of shenanigans with blending and thinners.
Is there a reason you want to use oils?
@@Zorpazorp no not really i just stil got a ton of oil colours from other projevts. THX :)
Would the second technique be better for adding in unit colours? I'm new to painting and I wanted to paint my unit up like the 501st but I'm afraid the wet working (though looking miles easier than the second) will pull and bleed the blue everywhere. Any tips?
Absolutely dont use the wet working for the colors, just paint them normally :) apply them after you've done all the white armour :)
@@Zorpazorp Second way is The Way then
So I just bought my first legion sets (super excited) and was planning on painting a few Clones in the colours of the 501st (I also bought Rex) What blue/process would you recommend?
I think I used macragge blue by Games Workshop and then mixed up a highlight by adding some white :)
Zorpazorp what do you think of the official republic and separatist paint sets
@@blackhawkuh-6026 I haven't tried them out personally but I believe they are just rskinned army Painted paints, which are defintiely behind Vallejo and Citadel in quality, but they're not as bad as many people make out.
If you're painting models and you're happy that's what matters :)
Zorpazorp the problem is the paint set has no tutorials/videos on the pants which means their is no way to know what paints go to what like how there’s three different whites in the republic paint set
@@blackhawkuh-6026 That's true unfortunately :(
Is there any alternatives to the lahmian medium? Could I just use water?
Certainly could :) It won't work as well but it's fine.
i cried at 1:57
😂😂😂
@zorpazorp Hello there, I'm starting painting those bad boyz and I was wondering what brush did you use for the first clone in this video?
Thank you and have a nice day !
No idea mate, don't get caught up on brushes dude, just use synthetic stuff from the craft store :)
@@Zorpazorp awesome thanks for the reply
Would Corax White also work as a decent prime or am i just crazy?
Yeah it would :)
Second method would work better with a "pure" white undercoat rather than the cream wraithbone.
I haven't tried it with pure white but I did try it with the greyseer and it was a complete waste of time. Considering the paint is designednto be applied over wraithbone or grey seer and finish white it's pretty garbage.
But yeah you're absolutely spot on, over white it would be pretty decent, but I still love the greater numaoc range of the bulb oil glaze. Deeper blacks, and wet working is ace.
Are you able to list all the paints and oils you use please?
what kind of brush do you use? Also what size is it?
could you please please do the 501st clone schemes please
Coming soon dude, should have it out before July :)
Did you paint all the clones in this video preassembled? Seems like places might be hard to reach?
Assemble than paint :) Always! (mostly)
Apothecary white is a stormtrooper player's best friend.
I'm just not a fan with the finished at all ID much rather a white prime with a nuln oil glaze any day, but to each their own :)
This looks great especially for someone like myself who is pretty new to painting miniatures but I know this may sound dumb but could this method be used on other clones ie Captain Rex or the specialists?
Absolutely Ian!!
Is it possoble to get a concise list of the paints used for both techniques?
In the description bro :)
Damnable mobile version likes to hide the description. Thanks!
Hey do you have any videos on how to make a base for a plant like Endor
Wow what a great idea man I'll have to make a video on it sometime in the future 😃
No colour squad/legion markings makes these look way too much like storm troopers and I really hate the lack of contrast to that aesthetic. Good job they do look table ready and nice but mine are getting striking colourful stripes and markings for sure.
Couldn't agree more!. we'll be doing a seperate video on squad markings 😊
@@Zorpazorp Cool! I look forward to seeing that then :)
What colour spray did you use to base your models?
So I’m assuming you didn’t batch paint due to you using the wetworking technique?
You only wet work that step, so I still batch painted, but do those steps together, have the diluted nuln and templar open together and do the steps one after the other then move to the next model.
@@Zorpazorp ahh, that makes sense. I did up my first clone squad today and my god, it was so simple for such a good looking model. Keep up the great work!
Can I use abaddon black instead of black templar?
What’s a good paint brush for legion painting
