Finally started painting the models of Star Wars Legion. White is a difficult colour to get right, but I am reasonably happy with the result. Still some work left on the base. I was originally considering some mild snow, but I think I shall try some pigment powdering to make it look more like urban dusty enviroments.

The Empire being a fascist authoritarian government in Star Wars has never been a subtle theme. An empire ruling with an iron fist, staffed by SS-inspired officers in slick grey uniforms and stormtroopers hunting rebels and partisans makes for a rather clear real world parallell. The central theme for the Original Trilogy’s Empire is fear. Darth Vader is a terrifying cyborg who can kill with his mind. The Death Star, the imminent threat of an entire world at a moments notice.
