Can’t wait to watch! Had to comment that I first found Sorastro’s Imperial Assault series while looking for a video doing exactly this… had never painted a mini before that… got hooked watching the series, wound up buying and painting nearly every fig from SW:IA (still trying to find Thrawn and Dengar). Anyway, though I’ve since painted these, I loved the SW:IA series, have seriously been considering Legion just to paint along with Sorastro again. Thanks for the awesome content!

And I really like that you went and painted a very small scale project. Looking very good!
