Now we’re talking. Some original trilogy baddies.
Darth Vader is where it’s at. I don’t love his billowing cloak. I considered converting it, but decided not to. The silhouette is important for my opponent to understand which version of Vader I’m playing. Also I’m lazy, and not sure I could do it well.
Mr Sergeant, the first unnamed Secondary.
And some stormtroopers to round it out.
Good squads come in pairs. This one of the second half of the ewoks.
Since all the ewok characters look kind of similar, I tried to keep them as close to the box art as I could.
The non-ewok model in this box is Leia, an alternate primary. She bridges the gap between ewoks and rebels. There’s a bare-headed option, which I usually pick for primary and secondaries. But I really don’t like the sculpt. So she gets a helmet.
Another ewok character with a raised staff. This time with dark brown fur.
And another set of repeated secondaries. I rotated the paint colors to hide it a bit. If I were less lazy maybe I would have done some conversion.
Oh yeah, time for some murder teddy bears.
I know I was most excited about original trilogy for Shatterpoint. Why not ewoks?
I am disappointed that the supporting Trappers are duplicate sculpts, though.
Wicket looks a little small on his base.
Each of the ewok boxes has an extra model. In Yub Nub’s case, it’s a bonus secondary in the form of R2 and C3PO.
Dooku was one of the initial squad pack releases, so arguably formed a core of the Separatists. But I wasn’t playing the game yet, and it wasn’t new and shiny any more. With the drought of new Shatterpoint models around the new year, I finally caught up.
There are two arms in the kit. But why woudn’t you choose lightning when lightning is on offer?
Keep your head on straight, Jango
And of course, the Magnaguard. Super tanky and annoying.
