A slightly out of order post today – I have some stuff from January I still need to post but like an idiot I forgot to photograph them the other day, so instead we have some of this month’s models. The Imperial Royal Guard from Star Wars Legion. If you’re of a certain vintage lile myself, you’ll think of these as Emperor’s Royal Guard instead, but I guess it is what it is on that one. I don’t really care, but given that the official name of the models is “Imperial” we’ll go with that in the post title.

Much like both Palpatine and Vader, these guys are predomonantly one colour. Which obviously this time is red. So again, it was time to try to vary the colours and use different finishes within that to show the different materials and textures, though there are some comics and action figures and such out there to give ideas.

Despite being out of sequence, these were indeed cleaned up and built in January so they count towards Anne’s 2026 Miniature Assembly Challenge, and of course they’re completed before the end of February, so they also count for Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26.
