First off I'm finally done with the elves. This is the wizard for them. She was really hard to paint. There is so much detail on this model. I tried really hard to make her look right but she was very hard. Dad showed me a sculpture where it looks like she is wearing something over her face and this model has the same thing.

There is a blue unit, a red unit and two lone droids for a future purple unit. 22 Battle droids. Their only virtue is mass.B1s are the worst unit in Star Wars Legion. They are also the cheapest.
