Assault Squad

[kcebcire]

Just a little squad of minifigs i put together for my big red gunship. (click here if you are curious about that)

This squad is made up of a lieutenant, 3 srgt's, (with packs) 3 heavy gunners and 6 standard troopers.

The whole squad together:

Ready for deployment in their gunship:

Detail of a srgt with his equipment pack, which carries long and short-range communication equipmennt, and portable jamming units to protect against thermal, infrared, and other forms of detection devices:

And, deplaying from the gunship!

Only 8 fit inside, but there is a reason for that which will be revealed in another post soon...

Thanks for taking a look!

comments and criticism welcome!

Nice work. It is a clean, simple, and effective use of the Imperial Officer torso with the ne Power Miners helmet.

And by the way are there more pics of the dropship?

Great little Assault Squad there Kcebcire! I love the combination of the Imperial torso and Power Miners helmet, really effective. The Sergeant communication jamming device is very cool too, though I was hoping for a few more obvious details to tell him apart from the rest. Still, very neat looking and makes me wish I had gotten that powerminers helmet.

Batbrick Away!

Nice squadron 'kcebcire'! I like the grey color scheme of the squad, and the Power Miners helmets really look good on the grey suits.

I really like your usage of the 2nd gen Power Miner helmets! I was waiting for someone to use them for MOC minifigs! I also really like the backpack the Sergeant wears! The only minor suggestion I would give is to outfit the soldiers with more armor, or equipment. They look a little bare with only their uniforms on... though you may have a reason for this, such as futuristic protective poly-fiber suits or something crazy like that! I really like the color matching code you have going on as well!

Very slick!

To answer your question, I decided to leave them in just the uniforms, since the light grey panels on the front and back of this torso reminded me of body armor. I didn't want to clutter up the figs too much, since they're supposed to be an elite squad anyway.

Pretty nice!

Good use of the Star Wars torso

If SW figs weren't so unreasonably expensive, I'd love to make a squad like this! Of course, I'd call them Space Marines since I'm a Metroid fan, har.

These torsos were really reasonable, i believe i got them for less than a dollar each on bricklink. It was the helmets that were expensive... : P
