Rebels need more mercs. Historically, rebel forces have often had to rely on scoundrels, mercenaries, and pirates.

13:33- This one I “was” excited about when he was announced! But then when I found out he was only allowed to be in the Merc army that drained a lot of my excitement out (maybe it might come back a bit if they start coming out with better characters and units that I would actually want to use in a game?!? Maybe)! And then when I found out that you can attach the Dark saber to him, but it doesn’t add to his attack…… it’s a choice which one you want to use, the rest of my excitement was gone! The model is great though!!!

i think a hut cartel expansion would be good for the mercs. Probably a core unit with 4 nikto/weeqay, and then options for a gameorrean or quarren as a heavy. Also Fennic Shand and Embo would both make for great operatives

@lordbiscuitthetossable535211 ай бұрын
@@camwardart It was pretty much in layers, I think. Everything was considered canon unless something higher in the priority contradicted it. So whether it was canon before Disney was shaky at best; since, arguably Guri almost leans too much into hard futuristic sci-fi then space opera. Though, as an aesthetic and a design, Black sun has always been incredibly stylish! From their grunts to their bodyguard and starfighters, they are just iconic in my mind. Whoever rocks up to battle in Brass and Purple armour deserves some respect. Ahaha

I think if they do a mando battleforce it should be based on the old republic as that is the time period where the Mandos were a unified people, now I'm not super well versed on how they were named and made to work back then, but if i was desighning them without doing any research, every unit can take a jetpack, jetpack would give them 1 time use free move, for close range options you'd have dual pistols with good melee stats, a mid range blaster unit, and a sniper unit, each one would have access to upgrades to give the leader of the unit access to a couple different mando weapons, like the zipcord launcher, flamethrower gauntlet, or disengration dart, for special forces they would have a more expensive form of each of those units, for support they'd have access to some speeder bikes, or a heavier jetpack, then for heavy they can have access to the Bassalisk war droid, and one of there gunships

19:09- See, I didn’t really like painting these guys! But the reason why I didn’t and you did is obvious! I also didn’t really like painting the Pykes either. But I also like to paint my minis to look as accurate as I can make them but also for each unit of them to be different enough so I can tell the difference between who goes to what unit!?! And I know a lot of people will paint the rim of the bases differently colors to show that…… but I never understood that one!?! I did that… but to show what army they go to! Not what unit they go to! In my opinion if I have two of my armies on a board at the same time it looks better when each army is identified by the rim of the base! Like red VS blue or purple VS orange! My Merc army as of now is just a black base rim! But also the one thing I did for the smaller minis (and for the longest time I never saw anyone else do it! But now I see people pop up here and there with them trying to say they were the first to do it) I would paint the armies emblem on the flat part of the base instead of terrain!!! I think it looks great and a lot of other people like my concept also. But once I got into WH also I started getting more into doing up the bases more like cut outs of the terrain like everyone else! And also now for the bigger Legion models I’ll try to do the same!!! That is definitely one way you can tell if one of my bigger models is one of the newer ones I did or one of the original I did!!!

As a Mando shill, id love to hear your thoughts on how a Mandalorian battleforce could work, should they go down in points, lose gear, abilities, new units? Any list that takes the current super commandos is hitting 7 activations tops and i dont see Bo katan being cheaper than Saxon
@calebbarnhouse49611 ай бұрын
Well they can do strike teams, however, mandos can be given bounty hunters, and still stay mostly in flavor, which would mean they could still be given use of black suns or pikes or really any mercenary unit added to the game outside of the very small selection of moral ones

10:54- Yeah, that would be cool! But I don’t know how that would work depending on who else you add to the game to try to fill up the spots?!? But the Wren clan working with the Maul Mandos wouldn’t make any sense! And even if you eventually add the Night Owl clan, they would also never work with the Maul Mandos!!! That’s like Teaming up Han Solo with Darth Vader!?! And at that point you might as well do whatever you want because clearly you’re not following the faction specific rules anyways!!!

That's the thing. They aren't soldiers in the traditional sense but rather enforcers of a criminal syndicate that has gotten big enough to be official security forces. Just Droid's, B1's in particular, already have the cheapest fodder unit of any faction. So I'm quite happy with Pikes being this lightly armoured but dangerous unit prone to panicking without a boss to reign them in.
