How To Paint: TX-130 Sabre Tank ~ Star Wars Legion Guide

[@ww2killerk]

This is awesome, man they need NEED a republic gunship. That’s my favorite vehicle from Star Wars

[@Zorpazorp]

Dude tell me about it, LAATs are life!!!

[@MrCowboy6588]

Gotta love it when you refresh your feed and there's a BRAND NEW zorp video! Love this series, has gotten me so close to clicking "purchase" on nearly all of the Star Wars Legion kits....must...stay...strong....

[@Zorpazorp]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you must succumb to the temptation haha

[@beaupreston9872]

I’ve only just started getting back into lord of things after more than 10 years but you make it so tempting to get into to Star Wars and paint up a small squad of clones!

[@Zorpazorp]

Both sounds good :D :D

[@markduffy4096]

Just finished watching all the videos in this series, the best Legion painting videos out there and when I get my bits I will be coming back to watch this series again :) Great work :)

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks so much Mark :) Got plenty more legion to come as well :D :D

[@gerardsaez6739]

I would love to see Alternate paintings for the tank

[@Zorpazorp]

Cheers dude :)

[@N00000ThisIsPatrick]

Your videos are awesome, man. You've made it easy for a newbie like me to get some quality figures out there on the table. Can't wait for your Geo campaign videos you have mentioned.

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks Patrick! It is coming I promise!

[@N00000ThisIsPatrick]

@@Zorpazorp I assume you're waiting for the AAT to come in. I've been trying to come up with my own scenario to play with friends using legion characters that is similar to your awesome Paths of the Dead scenario video based around the Return of the King game.

[@Zorpazorp]

@@N00000ThisIsPatrick yeah still waiting bro :( but that sounds awesome!

[@darthchu48darth92]

For the Republic! You should also do an advanced terrain basing video and alternate legion color schemes.

[@Zorpazorp]

oooh yeah that would be a good idea, I'm going to do some beach stuff soon with Shoretroopers :)

[@brangorn]

good God ! I did not imagine it as imposing! I can't wait to get my droid tank now ! Beautiful work like always on your channel :)

[@Zorpazorp]

Tanks so much!

[@Hakazu]

Love it! Can't wait to get my own and paint it! Can't wait for you to use it in a battle report in the future.

[@Zorpazorp]

Very soon Hakazu! Can't wait to show you the new batreps

[@thomashaase5404]

[@Zorpazorp]

Hey Hal! Glad you're enjoying it all mate. Don't worry a mental batrep has been filmed! Just have to finish moving house so I can get it edited 😁

[@AnythingButOnes]

Excellent work! I am just about to start on mine and am planning to do it in the 501st colours!

I love how you based that bad boy!

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks dude, I can't wait to get him on the table!

[@jasonprince8016]

Thanks, this will be my basis for the Sabre I have. Good to see if you can easily have options for both turrets interchangeable. Another vote for the 501st paint scheme - to match the Arc Troopers when they get released.

[@Zorpazorp]

Roger roger! Thanks dude :)

[@miguelcorreia1149]

Great Scheme!! I really enjoyed battlefront 2, the old hoth map and of course the space battles!! It would be cool to see some Kashyyk on the channel, perhaps the camo on a tank? A board with those wookie villages and trenches? Or maybe a phase 2 clone trooper regiment? That's a lot of work though 🤣. My favourite clone regiment is a tie between the wolf pack and the 212th. Either one would be cool on a tank. Imagine the wolfs face in the front, it would be so cool!!

[@Zorpazorp]

ahhh yes both really cool regiments! I can't wait to get this Geonosis Campaign out there so I can start work on phase two haha!! I'd really love to do Mygeeto as well haha

[@miguelcorreia1149]

@@Zorpazorp can't wait!! Mygeeto would be a pretty cool table, how would you simulate the flowing structures? It would be cool a Kid ADI Mundi figure!!

[@star_wars_miniatures]

I really hope FFG do the full range of Republic and Separatist vehicles. We need hailfire droids, Homing spider droids, crab droids, Tank droids, octuptarra droids, dwarf spider droids, AT-TE's, AT-RT's etc the list goes on. Grievous's Wheelbike too would be a nice kit to put together

[@Zorpazorp]

@@ianreynolds7192 not yet still to learn basic painting after I had a look at my painted minis from last year! 😂

[@brucechmiel7964]

I love this but if you got some of those Bandai blue blade part you can have the gunner turret fire. There is also blast effects and explosions in red purple, green, and blue. So you could have the main cannons going off. Bandai also has con trails for rockets and missiles. I'm going to use some of those effect parts for the Laat/le patrol craft.

[@caseyking1468]

Oh man kashykk camo would be amazing!

[@Zorpazorp]

Yeah I'm leaning heavily that way haha

[@billjohnson9315]

New to the hobby and was wondering what type/brand of plastic cement do you recommend? This is my first time working with hard plastic and I’ve been using the Tamiya thin cement glue but I don’t know if I just don’t put enough on because the models seem to fall apart or take forever to dry and hold. I so much liked the soft plastic better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@Zorpazorp]

Hey Bill!! I used to use Tamiya as well but I found the same problem. I just assumed my bottle was too old..try giving the glue a really good shake otherwise change brands. I'm using the Citadel one now from Games Workshop. Good luck dude and let me know how you go!

[@sheien5003]

please do some repaints! would love to see that

[@Zorpazorp]

done!

[@runningelkfilms1720]

Do you think they will ever add a really big vehicle such as the At-Te to star wars legion?

[@Zorpazorp]

Hopefully but I'm 3D printing one for campaigns anyway haha :D

[@m1llsy036]

Do you reckon Khorne red would work ok for the red on the tank and barc speeders?

[@Zorpazorp]

Yeah man for sure, if it's too bright just give it a wash with thinned nuln oil :)

[@LiliaArmoury]

will you be doing any tactics videos on the saber?

Not a specific tactics video but he will be a biiiiig player in scenario three :)

[@ClauseNight]

Sadly this makes it hard to play as the legion ruleset says that you draw line of sight from the highest point....which you have changed now. Cool look but impacts gameplay too much

[@Zorpazorp]

As per my other comment haha: Modelling for advantage is such a rarely the case, if you're higher on the base you might see more but you can be seen by more, but regardless I only play SW legion for narrative Campaigns not competitive play, But I'm pretty sure with the new silhouette system for line of sight this wouldn't be an issue anyway. But I have multiple of these tanks too, so if it was ever a problem, I'd just swamp them over to check LOS :)
