Painting.
What did we paint? Did we paint some things?
I didn't paint anything, but I 3D printed a lot of stuff.
Ooh.
Um, so I got my, my, my friends coming next weekend-
Okay
... or some weekend, I can't remember when, uh, to play Star Wars: Legion.
Um, and, you know, I don't know how I've gone this long without playing that game, like, in a meaningful way or, like, not painting, like, a, an army-
Yeah
... for that game.
And so we are gonna play the small version of Legion, which is called the Recon Size army.
Um, and you know, I've painted my fair share of, like, warbands and armies at this point, and so I wanted to do something a little bit different and I wanted to see if I could 3D print the entire army.
Um, and there are many, uh, sculptors who make STLs for Star Wars: Legion, so it's very-
Ooh
... easy to find a lot of variety.
Ooh.
However They were not all created equal.
Oh, no.
Um, [laughs] oh, no.
Mm.
Uh, so I did a bunch of, uh, browsing.
I did a bunch of buying.
I did, did a bunch of printing to look at comparisons of the models, see how they felt in the hand, uh, see if they needed to do some kind of resizing so they would match, and I found the perfect collection of STLs for the list that I have, and, like, all the different, like, resizings.
Like, okay, is, is this gonna be 101, is this gonna be 99% scale? Just to make sure they all matched up in height the way I wanted them to.
Um, and yeah, I'm, I'm excited.
