Mercenaries
Imperial defectors

 

[Darth Kikinou]

Unusual Astromech droids (e.g. the beach ball astro)

Voting has begun. See first post for details.

[my kind of scum]

I voted Rebels, but primarily because I'm already planning a whole series of SA realistic figures of the crew to make up for the terrible 5 poa figures on the shelves. That said, these are all great ideas and would be fun to tackle.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I went with vintage tributes because I have a feeling the next few years on these could be dominated by more "current" themes.

:wink:

 

[darthapathy]

I went with Mercenaries/ Bounty Hunters because there is more fodder (in my opinion) available.

I don't see your vote yet?

:wink:

D'oh. Forgot to hit submit the first time.

 

[hyperdrive]

Any of these are cool with me but I selected Rebels. Wasn't sure that I sould enjoy the series but was very pleasantly surprised. Have a project in the works just in case

Khan Trill-Khan Trill was a freelance Bounty Hunter who took a job from Grand Moff Rilex Marshon. Marshon had put a bounty on Colonel Dru Brightstar and all other rebels in his sector. Khan tracked down Brightstar and apprehended him. When he went to collect the bounty, Marshon refused to pay and revoked Khan's IPKC (Imperial Peacekeeping Certificate) which allowed him to operate in that sector. When Khan complained, Marshon turned his troopers on him. Khan quickly dispatched the troopers, freed Brightstar and ended up joining the Rebel Alliance in the process.

This was my first character when I started playing the Star Wars RPG back in the day. The Bounty Hunter Template was based on Boba Fett and some other hunters. That is why your starting character started with a small arsenal including armor, a thermal detonator and a jet pack.

Rando Jaxin Rando Jaxin is an up and coming Bounty Hunter. Having limited funds, he purchased simple weaponry and a suit that offered little in the way of protection. His major purchase was his NeuroStar 3000 helmet. The helmet contained a full sensor suite including thermal imaging, HUD, and audio pick ups. It also contained a full communications array allowing him to transmit and receive on several frequencies. Rando hopes to earn enough to add to his equipment

Having been spurned by Count Dooku, and seen the Nightsisters fall on Dathomir, Asajj Ventress journeyed to Coruscant to become a bounty hunter. Her first quarry - Ahsoka Tano, on the run from the Jedi after having been charged with a crime she did not commit.

helmet - random Jango Fett
head - 21st century XD figure
torso - McQuarrie Boba Fett
arms - Comic Pack Galactic Marine
belt - TFU Navy Trooper
tunic - Legacy Mon Calamari Warrior
legs - Legacy Imperial Technician

:wink:

 

[Kodiak3d]

I have a question:
I looked at the rules, and it doesn't say anywhere that the figure entered has to be of any particular scale. Can I enter a 1/6 scale figure?

Of course! Any scale you want is fine!

We are really flexible with these. The important thing is to have fun, and we appreciate the community participation, so we try and provide some prizes as a "thank you" to a few random entries, regardless of talent/skill level -- mainly to promote this part of the hobby and try and encourage more people to get into the fun world of customizing.

:wink:

 

[Kodiak3d]

Thanks, Chewie! I have some work to do

Lucian Fett - Bounty Hunter

The Fett clan was always a loyal bunch. Loyal to the all mighty credits! And they were worth every credit they charged. Their tenacity and fierce acumen on the battle field was known throughout the galaxy, their clientele ranging from the Hutts to the Empire.
One Fett in particular wanted more, though. Lucian Fett always felt it. He was stronger than the rest. Faster. Somehow in possession of a peculiar sixth sense. He held power over all creatures he encountered, even so far as taming a deadly Cannibal Dewback and making the beast serve him as his mount.
It wasn't until he met the Dark Jedi General, Romulous Panick, that he was able to realize what it was. General Panick had discovered the Holocron of Exar Kun in The Temple of Fire on Yavin 4, and as soon as Lucian laid eyes on it he felt The Force explode within himself. He was filled with The Dark Side and an almost unquenchable desire for power.
General Panick laid out a plan that would not only make them wealthy beyond their wildest dreams, but would bring them power to rival even that of the Empire itself. The Clone Army of the former Republic had served the Emperor well, all but wiping out the Jedi and their allies when Order 66 was enacted. General Panick himself was nearly eliminated by a company of Clone Troopers. He still carried the scars of fighting his way out. Lucian knew the Clone army well. They were, after all, clones of his relative Jango. Their blood was his blood.
But the Clone army had one major problem. They were getting old, quickly. The Empire would need a replacement army soon, but in the meantime they needed to hire elite warriors to fulfill their current missions and train their conscript soldiers. Together the two warriors would gather the deadliest fighters from around the galaxy under the folds of their new corporation, Panickorps: Advanced Warfighter Development Group.
