Thanks really cool! but it’s not an E-11, its a DC-15A
11/10
You painting the arc troopers?
Calls it a E-11
I wonder of you could blue epoxy like a tennis ball or something to make the energy sheild
Epic! Thank you
spend 6 hrs trying to make this work today. idk why this is so hard but looks so easy lol
Are you able to list all the paints and oils you use please?
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.
I’m using both base schemes …gonna use one to paint the 501st/ and the other will be painted as the 212th
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?
These models mine as well be made of rubber. Horrible choice for model material this plastic rubber whatever they cooked up. When coupled with the crappy mold lines (at least the set i got) have its a recipe for disaster. At least the newer hard plastic ones they are easy to work with as with the smoother firm plastic you can actually clean up and the mold lines and its nothing crazy… These models just look like shit even when painted, all i see is the imperfections of the crappy rubber material.
Can you do a video of you playing Star Wars Legion? That would be pretty sick!
could you please please do the 501st clone schemes please
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?
1 year later and I’m proud to say I got the clone wars core set. And I can’t wait to paint them up in 212th colors
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.
…so you like your shiners! Lol
Could you do the other clones like the arc troopers or red ones
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?
Used this to paint my stormtroopers, looks awesome! Was going for a weathered style trooper, so thanks a bunch!
What’s a good paint brush for legion painting
Are you going to do arc troopers
What colour spray did you use to base your models?
Is it possoble to get a concise list of the paints used for both techniques?
Hey, I only started using the nuln oil glaze, but my troopers really don’t have a nice layer of that glaze. Pure white primer is sticking out at many points. What can I do to improve my results?
More paint? Or more nuln oil compared to lahmian medium?

Here’s a link to a picture I made, so you can see my troopers and maybe give more specific feedback and tips. Thanks already.
By the way, thank you so much for this tutorial, I only started with Legion and you really saved me!
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?
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 🙂
@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 !
why is the blaster rifle bent or am i just seeing it at a wrong angle ?
I’m finally getting (back) into Legion and exploring ways to paint the clones. Couple of great techniques to consider here thanks!
The helmets all seem a bit large, anyone else feel that way?
not an E-11
Where are my squad????
So I’m assuming you didn’t batch paint due to you using the wetworking technique?

Really nice Tutorial but i want make my clone army not only in black and white. I want paint them like 212th. Is it posssible with clone troopers Gen 1?
By the emperor how many do you smoke? I baerly see your eyes
Would Corax White also work as a decent prime or am i just crazy?
Wow they are awesome black and white my worst colours to paint awesome job
For the first painting technique can you use any citadel white primer or does it have to be tamiya?
Ive made a custom base for the character, what colour would you use for the base for the geonosis colours?
Could these methods be used for painting White Scars space marines?
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?
This is how I did my stormies. Great video!
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.
Can I use abaddon black instead of black templar?
Looks cool but for sergeant they have olive green coloured armour parts apart from that it looks cool
Just like the simulations!
Will the first method work with Wrathbone primer?
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?
