Star Wars: Legion Rebel Pathfinders, Episode One

I'm having too much fun painting Star Wars: Legion Rebel figures. As mentioned previously, I'm planning on using them for Xenos Rampant as I am a big fan boy of Daniel Mersey's pioneering "Rampant" series and his rules in general. Unlike the other rebel boxes I bought, instead of seven figures this expansion has six figures. Bummer. The Pathfinders are the elite Rebel Infantry from Rogue One.

I forgot show earlier in my posts about the Star Wars: Legion figures how they come prior to painting. I purchased the box expansion sets and each figure came in a small zip lock bag and easy to follow instructions on how to put them together. Not a lot of options for the novice kit converter, but I may try some later with other figures. Above is the female Pathfinder. Interesting to me is that the figures in the Pathfinder box are all based on the actors who portrayed the troops in the Battle of Scariff during the movie Rogue One.

The actress Madeleine Domries played Corporal Rodma Maddel in Rogue One. 

Here are the pieces out of the bag: two arms, a body and a head. Each piece has a unique slot to fit the part correctly into the body. They also come with brown, circular bases

I didn't paint the uniform and equipment the same as from the movie Rogue One as I had already picked a uniform scheme for my force. ("Not too shabby he thought to himself.")

Speaking of uniform schemes, I've bee remiss in not mentioning the paints I used. I did all of the rebel figures from Star Wars: Legion with about 95.5% GW Contrast paints:

Primer: Krylon brand Flat White.

Uniform utilities, soft caps, helmets: Contrast Skeleton Horde.

Webbing, Boots, Ruck Sacks, Helmet Straps and Helmet highlights: Contrast Snakebite Leather.

Body Armor (flak vests), cloaks, knee pads and other reinforcing gear: Contrast Gore-Grunta Fur.

Caucasian Flesh: Contrast Darkoath Flesh with some highlights from Vallejo Dark Flesh.

Dark Flesh: Contrast Gore-Grunta Fur or Contrast Snakebite Leather highlighted with Vallejo Flat Brown.

Female Lips: An acrylic paint brand called Ceramcoat. I use Fuchsia.

Base Edges: Vallejo Chocolate Brown.

Weapons and other similar metal parts: Contrast Basilicanum Grey.

Alien Skin: Depends on the Alien! Mostly different Contrast Paints and I'll mention them when I get to the figure.

Sergeant Ruescott Melshi portrayed by the actor Duncan Pow in Rogue One and the Disney Plus Star Wars Series Andor.

The rescue of Jyn Erso from Imperial Custody in Rogue One.

I still need to touch up some of the facial hair.

Nothing like a closeup to see the touch-up on the face that is needed.

Lieutenant Taidu Sefia portrayed by actor Babou Ceesay.

Lieutenant Taidu Sefla: "They like you ma'am, but if you want to give a speech they'll have trouble respecting you. You're not military. You're not even Alliance."

Jyn Erso: "Not really my problem, is it?"

Lieutenant Taidu Sefla: "Hardly the right attitude,  ma'am."

Next: Alien Pathfinders and a Mystery.
