Back to the 3D prints today, though in a slightly different context. This one is a sculpt from Anvilrage Studios, formerly known as SEB miniatures, a sculptor who specialises in models from a Galaxy Far, Far Away. I picked up this print from a fellow on eBay known as Garfie’s Games, who has quite a nice selection of general SW miniatures and SWL-compatable ones as well. And yes, I purchased this figure – and all the other models from him that you’ll see in the future where Garfie gets a mention – it’s just my normal shout-out to smaller businesses and creators who give good service or are nice people.
The Desert General is very likely a specific proxy for General Veers in Legion, though in this case dressed more lightly for a desert table than the snow. Of course, there’s nothing stopping anyone from just using the model as an Imperial Officer or Operative. Personally, I just always liked the sculpt as it gives off Rommel vibes to me, and so picked it up when I saw it for sale.
In this case, his armour is based on Scout Armour plates rather than Snowtrooper plates as Veers’ armour is – which has now morphed into standard Imperial Army armour of all kinds as seen in Solo, Andor and pretty much everywhere else.
Anyway – another nice little model that I’m quite happy I was able to pick up and even get painted(!)
Azazel's Bitz Box. 
Excellent work on a great looking model, as Star Wars cannon, and expanded universe keep adding new armour all the time, there really is nothing stopping any of us using what we like the look of, and this certainly fits in the universe perfectly.

Cheers Dave. Yeah, the idea of taking armour plates from established imperial armour and rearranging them and painting them slightly differently is very well worn at this stage. Just think of how much variation on the same uniform we got in Andor just from palette swaps!
This guy also has scout-cut boots (aside from the ankle holster) I noticed a little later – I’ve simply painted them black here instead of white!

Excellent mini! 🙂 I must admit I tend to buy from the same sellers as far as 3D prints are concerned, mostly because of the excellent service I get from them!

Cheers John – yeah I have a couple of places I’ve been getting SW stuff from. They’re pretty much like a Venn diagram without too much crossover as well. There’s still a few resin kits out there neither has that I’d really like to get hold of though!

That’s a really cool find, mate. It looks like a real Legion sculpt to me as someone who isn’t knowledgeable about the game. I like the expression the sculpt has as its a bit different than what you typically see on other minis too.

Thanks mate – yeah this sculptor does a really nice job of making his STLs look like a real boy. I’ve got a nice looking squad almost done that will end up being posted in about 2-3 weeks at this rate that also look just like offcial models, except for the fact that they’ve all got different poses from the official ones…

Awesome work, I get where you are coming from with the Rommel idea.

Yeah, if I’d painted his clothing and gear in Afrika Korps uniform colours he’d really look the part. Maybe down the line I’ll grab another one…
