Shoretroopers for Star Wars: Legion - Tabletop Ready & Taking it Further [How I Paint Things]

I really enjoyed Rogue One. I even liked most of Solo! But by far the coolest thing of the recent era of Star Wars movies has been seeing designers iterate on the classic Stormtrooper look. The Imperial Coastal Defence Stormtroopers - or Shoretroopers, to give them their common name - are one of those awesome units which looks like they have their roots in the Scout Trooper armour, light on their feet but surprisingly heavily armed.
