 I just finished all of Karen Traviss' Republic Commando novels. Kal is a teaser for you. We're revamping the RC's and the ARC's, and also doing a Walon Vau. Just out of curiosity, do you think he's under-costed for Conscription? I debated doing a version that had: Mandalorian Adoption (All characters whose name contains Republic Commando or ARC Trooper are considered Mandalorian for the rest of the skirmish.) But then I though that Conscription is really what Skirata does, and it's a cool ability that is useless on Mandalore The Ultimate, who is too expensive to make use of it. I figured it would also make Mandos much more useful, since they're so short on cool CE's. Anyway, let me know what you think. We'll have two new 6 card layouts up soon, possibly by the 17th. You can find our other layouts here: DARK SIDE's Custom Minis ThreadSome have been updated recently after play testing, so check it out. Darth Chaos The Dark Side Sarasota, FL 34236 |

Chaos, did you forget your password?
This guy looks like a lot of fun. SuperStealth is a nice touch, and it really fits the character well. (Slightly off topic, I hated Order 66, but the first three were good.) Why 30 Damage, out of curiosity? You don't see that very often.
If you can find it, I made a version of the Commandos and both Skirata and Vau. They're not exactly pieces whose definitions would fit on a card...but they're sort of fun.

I thought I'd logged in when I made it. Sorry.
I put 30 damage because he's got a custom verpine blaster in the books.
What do you think of conscription vs adoption? I went with conscription because the Mandos need something to bolster the faction. Rieekan giving everyone Evade and Mobile, Grievous giving all droids Twin, GOWK giving everyone +4/+4. IMO, the Mandos need SOMETHING to compete, and Conscription is the only really unique effect I've seen for them.

Lol. I was just checking, nbd.
True, that's a good point. Of course, you could always make a new ability to reflect that, but it looks good as is, too.
Does Mandalorian Adoption affect enemy characters, too? As worded, if you were fighting a Republic squad based around ARCs, then it would just disconnect them from their respective CE's, as well as assisting your own ARCs.

Oops! It should read Allied not All. That's what I get for posting so late.

Lol. That clears some stuff up.  Conscription is probably more useful than Adoption...the ARCs aren't that great to begin with, and you wouldn't run ARCs with a Mandalorian squad, so the ability wouldn't ever come into play in singles matches. Perhaps in doubles, but that would require a build around him. He looks excellent, you guys are great at stat creation. You should get your buddies online here, too. |

Nice custom, I like it. Mando Conscription is interesting at the lower cost, but just to be clear it only comes into play at the start of a skirmish - so it wouldn't let GOWK or Rieekan become a Mando. It only allows Fringe characters (or Sith if you have a Sith squad w/ Uliq and someone with Conscription) to benefit from the deadly Mando CEs.

Right!
Well, since Skirata only allows affinity with Republic Commandos and ARCs, they're the only Republic figures you should see in a Mando squad, at least in this case. Otherwise, you'll see Fringe or Ulic Qel Droma. The main reason for Conscription is because all the dang Mando CEs are specific to Mandos!

I've got revamped RC's and ARC's coming soon, along with Walon Vau, Etian, and Bardan Jusik.
I'd considered doing the Nulls, but there's no way I could get enough clones with kamas to pull it off effectively. I might just do an Ordo Skirata.
You guys ever do stats for those?

Ah I see now that you were comparing the Mandos to other factions. My mistake.
This is a very good custom. Sevs would be dynamite with Super Stealth, Twin, and +4 attack to go with Accurate and Deaeye. Nice work!
