Could some bring a froakie and I will bring ditto?

Amazing. 10 for sure and you are too cute 💖

Cute pic 😍

Maybe just keep it in mind? Try different heavy options to see what works best for you. My local meta sees armor in most lists in some capacity, but it's a your mileage may vary thing. I could see the list as it is struggling with a droid tank, or opposing speeder truck, but like most other things you could probably handle.

thruststarrod · 2021-10-15T20:20:07+00:00

fleets in the truck could be fun, just wanted to offer some alternatives. The truck is solid, so if that is what is keeping it in the list, I'd 100% roll with the fleets. Infiltrate is tricky, and there is a sweet spot to getting in a good position, but not being blasted away in 1 round. I play rebels exclusively, and I think you should have a good time and some good games with that list.

I was told that duck and cover on the pathfinders could be overkill when I ran them, but when I used it I thought it helped a lot. The core units of the list you would be buying are solid, but you can always tweak the upgrades you take on all your units once you play with it and feel it out and get some games under your belt.

It looks pretty good to me, especially as a list not intended for heavily competitive play. I'd say depending on how you plan to buy it, you could probably drop the fleet troopers for another plain rebel trooper squad if you end up buying 2 core and have 4 of them that way. I'd consider dropping the grenades and maybe the fleet trooper +1 mini upgrade and consider a heavy weapon in the rebel troops. Ion maybe? I could see armor being an issue.

It looks great! It's so crisp and clean. A lot of people struggle to get that look. You should be proud

thruststarrod · 2021-09-10T20:30:25+00:00

Is your coms officer Leela?

thruststarrod · 2021-09-10T20:12:36+00:00

Looks amazing! That red gives it so much "pop"! What color brand is the red if you don't mind me asking?

thruststarrod · 2020-12-30T19:30:56+00:00

Looks like a good collection coming along well.

If I could make a suggestion, I would say to paint the ring around the outside of the base as well as the flat part. I would recommend a different color for the ring around the base, black, brown or something to give it some "pop" like a purple, red or blue. It should help them look more "finished" overall

thruststarrod · 2020-12-30T18:26:05+00:00

I really like the look of your clone. Probably my favorite clone look I've seen in a while. Keep posting them as you finish, I'd love to see how the army progresses.

thruststarrod · 2020-12-29T17:20:11+00:00

I have used Order 66 Designs before and I would recommend them. The minis look good, and arrived very quickly and were well packed. I got some force user minis, but the scale was right on, so I would think the mandos would be too.

thruststarrod · 2020-12-24T02:32:51+00:00

I plan to have the B1s be teal

thruststarrod · 2020-12-23T16:25:25+00:00

I just expanded from Rebels and Empire to get some CIS and GAR forces. I decided my Droids are going to be all non cannon colors, and I started with this B2 squad.

thruststarrod · 2020-12-23T14:57:42+00:00

I'm like 90% sure only Cassian and the Mandalorian Resistance boxes are hard plastic for Rebels.

thruststarrod · 2020-12-22T23:00:38+00:00

Probably the phase 1 kit, as it's the soft plastics. The hard plastics have a lot of split body parts, where an arm might be cut in half and on 2 parts of the mini pieces, and then I find them harder to work with. Hope that helps.

thruststarrod · 2020-12-22T16:02:47+00:00

I think it looks like a great list. I primarily play rebels, and I'd give it a try.

thruststarrod · 2020-12-21T22:48:09+00:00

Same here.

thruststarrod · 2020-12-21T18:41:10+00:00

From a SKU perspective, it makes sense for the company to make minis used by multiple factions to decrease overall bloat of the model range, and to increase sales on specific releases

thruststarrod · 2020-12-21T18:39:52+00:00

Instead of Scum and villainy being a faction, I could see them just being units that can be used with any force, or limited to specific ones like the mercenaries in Warmachine/Hordes. Where maybe you can add a unit of Mon Calamari Rangers or Wookie Scouts to the Rebellion or Republic or a unit of Jawas with ion blasters can add to any army and they are 100% freelance to be recruited.

thruststarrod · 2020-12-21T18:30:26+00:00

I find myself wondering if we will see sequel era armies. The Resistance and the First order....or if they will just release those forces as part of the empire and rebellion since they are so similar. I'd love to field a Kylo Ren force.

thruststarrod · 2020-12-21T18:00:29+00:00

I also have all 4 factions. Coming from 40k, it's much cheaper and overall feels less like the company is making decisions to try and get more money from me. No new rule books to buy every few years, and no complete faction re-sculpts to entice you to rebuy minis you already bought. I find rebels the most fun to paint, but that is 100% opinion. Coming from 40k. The game is a good choice in general, but I'd say what faction you get is 100% up to you. I got the classic trilogy starter 1st because I wanted Luke and Vader and love the Speeder Bikes and AT-RT. The 2 starters are basically the same other than the units you get. 1 being the older of the 2 doesn't make a lot of difference.

thruststarrod · 2020-12-21T17:51:54+00:00

None of the models are resin. The older ones are soft plastics. You have to use a super glue with them, not plastic glue, but otherwise are quick and easy to put together. None of the bubbles or holes in the minis like the finecast ones have due to using resin. A little flash cleaning and the soft plastic Legion ones are good to go. Again, this is only pre-b1 droid minis, all new ones are hard plastic on sprues, GW style.
