BigBadAndy 640 Posted May 28, 2018 Nice job! I would not have thought to make the squad leader look like captain Antilles, but yours looks fantastic. 1 wintermoonwolf reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toontotalwar 28 Posted May 28, 2018 Very nice indeed! Similar to my versions without too much shading Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makwiesel 182 Posted May 28, 2018 Very nice and clean. I like the glossy visor you used there. My Fleet Troopers couldn't quite fit the uniforms so they kept their normal clothes... 6 1 ABXY, srMontresor, Mep and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If yes to above, then how do you intend to paint them? 4. Do you have homebrew stats for Jawas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makwiesel 182 Posted May 28, 2018 1. The jawas are from Imperial Assault- I used the arms and weapons from a box of Fleet Troopers I sacrificed for bits and made some mods for arm length, head position, etc. 2 & 3 I do plan to paint actual Fleet Troopers as Actual Fleet Troopers- to me those are Alderaanian forces I will leave as-is. 4. I don't normally change much when I make a unit like this- I want to be able to play them so for me they are just Fleet Troopers that look a little different- weapons are all WYSIWYG and they are no different in play from your normal unit. I would love to put some more jawa flavor into them, but as soon as I do Fantasy Flight will release real Legion Jawas and make mine look stupid..

Curious though, dont you like the Legion FT figures or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makwiesel 182 Posted May 28, 2018 Ha no no no I think the Legion Fleet Troopers are great. I've just loved the heck out of Jawas since I was 4. Can't undo that. I was about to make a normal Rebel Troopers squad into my Jawas, but I just couldn't see them with the A280. Keep in mind this squad cost the price of a box of Fleet Troopers plus 6 Jawas (I didn't make a shotgunner) so it's about $85 bucks instead of the $25 for just Fleet Troopers...

Nah, those Jawas look great but you do know what happens to jawas when they go against storm troopers right? You'll need to paint up a C-3P0 next so he can toss them on the fire. BTW, might be of interest. http://blindbeggarminiatures.co.uk/shop/categories/Sci-Fi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigBadAndy 640 Posted May 29, 2018 I have to say, I love the Fleet Troopers. But I’m a bit disappointed there’s no kneeling guy like the prominent eyebrow extra that is the iconic rebel waiting at the blast door on Tantive IV at the beginning of A New Hope. Half these guys are kneeling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but it is only a couple of years since Rogue One and I think those guys could handle it. They gave us a kneeling Stormtrooper and what I would assume to be a fleeing Fleet Trooper (running pose and we saw plenty of those in Episode 4) we could've gotten one "kneeling" Fleet Trooper.

We didn't get a kneeling pose so FFG has an option for an alt-sculpt later. 1 C3POFETT reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got my hands on some Fleet Troopers last night - already picked out a guy to be converted to kneeling. It's the far right pose in the OP's 2nd picture - I chose that one because I don't really like its stance in the current form - it's almost like he's scared his gun will go off (perhaps he's meant to be the guy standing closest to the airlock). 1 VAYASAN reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
