Spring Cleaning - with an AT-AT!
Enter the Mandalorians
Since I’m currently waiting for Rex and my Phase 2-Clones to arrive, I got thinking about potential lists and units to include and how I could best match my little force to what we saw in the final story arc of Clone Wars concerning the siege of Mandalore and the battle of Sundari.
And then it occured to me: I actually COULD include Mandalorians who fought in Bo-Katan’s retinue and alongside Ahsoka and the Clones – I could use the official Clan Wren minis and modify them to match the armour types and equipment in the Clone Wars show, and use them in the game using the rules for ARC Troopers equipped with Jet Packs. An amazingly fitting match there.
I could even field a Mando commander instead of Rex, using Rex’ rules equipped with a jetpack. So, I started to re-examine my Clan Wren minis, which were not, yet, painted, and I sat down to create a screen-accurate Ursa Wren – the first Mando to join Ahsoka in the assault on the outer docks, intiating the offensive there (and a cool character to boot – a close ally who journeyed with and fought alongside Bo-Katan).
I used plastic card to modify and add to the armour of a fitting female Mando, whose pose I also modified. In the images below you can see what I added/changed: All white elements are thin plastic card.
Excellent work could you do a post on how you did the flight base and links to the items used as I would like to do that for my ARCs Troopers.
I’m currently finishing Tristan Wren and Ursa Wren for my unit of Clan Wren Mandalorian Resistance. Tristan will be mounted similar to this Clone Wars-era Ursa here, so I will explain what materials and tools I use and the process of mounting him on the base once I’m finished with painting him. It’ll be late this sunday or early next week at the latest, so stay tuned.
