Star Wars Legion ARC Trooper done in a orange as an alternative to 212th orange/yellow scheme.

  1. Prep

Prep model by cleaning sprue marks and mold lines. Assemble as much as possible and sub-assembly the rest. Prime model with Corax White or for a brighter white use AK Interactive Fine White Primer (sry no link). Thin Corax White to a very thin consistency using medium or water and apply thinly over the whole model to fill in anywhere the primer missed and to make color matching easier later

White Armor

  1. Wash all over the model with Apothecary White with Lahmian Medium 1:1 ratio
  2. Clean up pooling on panels with a damp brush
  3. Thin Space Wolves Grey with Lahmian Medium 1:4 ratio and fill in deepest panel lines. tricep/hamstring reliefs, abdominal detail, front/back chest armor join
  4. Thin Corax White to glaze consistency and smooth other upward facing panels and anywhere that is too dark

Undersuit/Guns

  1. Thin your choice of black paint and carefully apply to armor joins. I used Black

Black Armor

  1. Thin Corvus Black and apply to guns, backpack/jetpack, holsters, Kama edge, gorget/shoulder
  2. edge highlight with Dawnstone

Grey Panels

  1. Thin out Dawnstone and layer onto any armor panels you want to be grey. foot guards, shin, chest/abdominal panels, vambraces, gorget/shoulder panels
  2. Edge highlight with Administratum Grey

Kama

  1. paint inside/ousite with Mechanicus Standard Grey

Markings

I'm choosing to do an orange accent for my 212th. Feel free to substitute my colors for whatever color you are using to accent your dudes.

  1. add of a touch of Deck Tan to Scarlet and apply to knee/vambrace detail, right shoulder panels, eyepiece, vertical stripe down each arm and helmet markings. Accent Jetpack to taste if model is equipped with one
