WIP - Star Wars Trade Federation Drone Army

Thank you for the exellent link to all the pictures.

If I ever try to build a Sky Ray it will be a Hailfire-droid.

In the next couple of weeks I'll try to give you some WIPs of General Grievous...

That is really incredible, and totally cool. O_O
So pretty ... I'm a Star Wars fan, so seeing that army makes me happy :biggrin:

Also, I can't see count Dooku being used to represent anything without a power weapon,or similar. Hooooo .... Farsight anyone ? Lightsaber should be pretty good at cutting armor up (+1D6), force lightning for plasma fire, and gift of prescience to dodge (ie : 4+ invulnerable save). Funny taht, now I can't stop picturing count Dooku zooming around on his jetbikes with a bunch of droidekas bodyguards -_-

Yes, one big problem with the Trade Federation is that their "HQ" are badass in hth and Tau just suck.
Oshovah is the only model able to represent someone with a lightsabre, but as he does not count as your mandatory commander I have to build someone to reoresent a Shas'O/'el aswell.

Actually, check to new Tau FAQ on the GW website. Farsight now counts as your mandatory commander!

You could always field geonosians as vespid, but I'm not sure what would be similiar to kroot...

Shas'Ui · **Posted:** Nov 29 2008 05:13

According to Wookiepedia there are Geonosians with, and without wings (most of the spectators at the arena in ep.II) which I plan to usa as Kroot, so I can fit the large fighting beasts as Knarlocs aswell.

Kroot Cavalry

Knarloc?

Roger, roger!

For the greater good!

Wow, they're looking incredible so far! Turning the helmets around like you did really helped with the droid aesthetic.

Kroot'Ui · **Posted:** Dec 01 2008 10:29

I didn't know GW made SW minis! Oh, wait, I see...

That looks excellent! I am really looking forward to seeing the kroot hounds!

Por'Ui · **Posted:** Dec 02 2008 09:48

You didn't "just" turn the heads around, right ? They look significantly smaller than regular FW heads.

Shas'Ui · **Posted:** Dec 02 2008 10:37

The heads are the regular Fire Warrior helmets turned backwards and filed slimmer and with most of "the underside" of the head cut away aswell.

Are you going to go with the original cream colour, or the dark pinky-red of the Geonosian droids? And could you show us the AAThead with the 'rounded front'?
P.S.- You've got my vote for moving to Galleries once you've painted them

I don't really know what you meen with "dark pinky-red, but I'm planning on the yellowish beige "original".

Very rough WIP of my commander.

Shas'La · **Posted:** Dec 03 2008 04:38

Duuuuuuude :eek:

wow, its in the first steps and already looks unbeliveable awesome!

Shas'Ui · **Posted:** Dec 04 2008 06:07

Up untill now it is made by
2x60mm bases
16 Necron Warriors
1 Destroyer
1 Vyper

I am waiting for more parts I have ordered,
mainly the left arm of a Destroyer.

Shas'Ui · **Posted:** Dec 19 2008 07:31

Pathfinders

Now my question to you all is if they are holding their weapons to high?
I want them to aim as snipers, but at the same time not look to silly.
(Yes I know Star Wars Droids ar silly per default...)

Fio'El · **Posted:** Dec 19 2008 07:39

I quite like the poses to be honest. But the droid Snipers in Star Wars had long barreled rifles, but I see how that would be visually confusing. I really like what you did to make the Markerlight, is that just a regular FW antenna?

Also, the new heads looks great, much better than the last. I see the General in the background there, any chance we could get a peek?
