Republic ATRT

 

Since their first appearance in Revenge of the Sith I've always liked the ATRT walker. A smaller predecessor of the imperial ATST, these vehicles were used by the Advanced Reconnaissance Troopers of the clone army to scout ahead of their comrades. In SW Legion that play instead like a fire support vehicle, blasting tanks or infantry with a wide array of weaponry. My clones were lacking in some firepower until now, but with the inclusion of this little fellow they will have new tools to deal with the separatist menace and their hordes of clankers.

Clone were known to personalize heavily their gear, so I've converted the ATRT with extra bits giving it more armour and a camo blanket

Te eagle eyed among you will have recognized that the pilot is in fact an imperial scout trooper since this vehicle is a second hand rescue, however the ATRT trooper wore a very similar helmet (below), so it checks out. In addition I painted the pilot in camo instead of the traditional white since he's an scout.
A tip when painting camouflage patterns: if you do not want it to look like cow spots, paint one of the colours in long strips overlapping the rest in places
