Description

Quote

The greatest warriors are the product of their defeats as much as their victories...

Mandalore is a free world.
Decades of Imperial dominance are finally over. The Mandalorians have wrestled away control in the vicious battle remembered as the Liberation of Mandalore; Kote Yaim'ol, the "Glorious Return." The faithful warriors of Clan Eldar have provided something to all Mandalorians they have not had for far too long: a home.

Now comes the time for rebuilding, for looking to the future. We must work to unite the Clans, sounding our call to bring all the exiles home. We extend the offer of friendship to all Mandalorians. Every day, more return. They join the fold, bringing their experience, their craftsmanship, their excellence.

Every Mandalorian strengthens the others, strengthens us all. As in time immemorial, we fly the ancient banner of the Mando'ade. It reminds us of where we came from, and who we are. The great history of our people, our conquest, our destruction, and now, our rising again.
While not every Clan has joined us, all are welcome. Together, we will build great things.

History

During the Great Purge, many Mandalorian families and clans were entirely wiped out. Some members of Clan Eldar were fortunate enough to escape by fleeing their homes - a hard act for any Mandalorian.
These disparate groups managed to keep in touch and, now that the Empire has fallen, are tentatively making contact again.
With the fall of the Empire, Clan Eldar led the charge to return Mandalore to its people whilst the Galaxy dealt with the larger threat of Pyerce and his Imperial ideals. Eldar's attention turned to restoring people's trust and faith in Mandalore.
The Duchess rallied the returning Houses and Clans under the banner of The Mando'ade, in the hope that Mandalorians could once again be unified in the Galaxy...

Leadership

Mandalorian society is pyramidal: it has a ruler, big internal factions known as houses, and familial units (clans) allied with said house. 
The Mando'ade unite behind The Duchess, for her efforts uniting the Clans and forming a resistance against Imperial oppression. Once more restoring a free Mandalore.
Beneath the Duchess, a council formed of the Clan heads sit to ensure no Mandalorian is forgotten. 

Costume

Famously clad in the beskar'gam (Iron Skin), many Mandalorians honour their family by wearing the Beskar passed down to them through the generations. Many choose to reforge and redesign their armour to make it more befitting to it's new owner, others choose to let the imperfections of time tell their family history.
But not all Mandalorians wear armour, owing to the scarcity of Beskar. Those that do may wear incomplete armour too. Nonetheless, Members of The Mando'ade, and their allies, wear a wide range of different-coloured armour, and some wear no armour at all.

No Beskar helmet (Buy'Ce) is gender specific. The Art of The Mandalorian states it denotes a sub faction and not gender in much the same way as the helmet designs of ancient Greece offered regional variation of the same design.
All buckets are welcome within The Mando'ade!
But times have not been kind to the Clans, and many new members still need to earn their armour...

The Mando'ade does not expect its members to follow The Way. Removal of your helmet does not make you any less Mandalorian - Giving up does

 

 

Build notes
 

Spoiler

The Mando'Ade will not limit builders to using solely IP based figures, the Mandalorian culture is known to have scavenged resources for their armour and other items across the ever expanding universe of Star Wars lore.

The recent Mandalorian battlepack (75267) is a great and cheap place to start, where you'll be able to collect helmets and some great armoured figures.
From here, other Lego ranges offer much more affordable minifig pieces such as Ninjago where you can make figures such as the below:

Although I use the pauldron from 75314 and the helmet from 75267 the body is from a recent Ninjago magazine and can also be found in set 71752 
I looked to colour match the helmet to the figure in this instance.

Your creativity is key!

I declare that my allegiance lies with Mandalore!

Welcome to The Mando'ade Rokk Latern, 
I'm looking forward to seeing his adventures!

[Ross Fisher]

I hearby grant permission to the Mando'ade to reuse my points from Factions 1.0. I'm not coming back. Fnab is finally retired.

 

[Professor Thaum]

I will reuse my points from Faction 1.0 for Mandalore and I join Mandalore back.

Here you can see the Mandalorian Damian with his custom helmet and a Beskar spear.

He is always looking for a fight, especially with the most fearsome creatures of the galaxy.

He serves as bodyguard for an Anomid historian and archeologist specialist of Mandalorian Wars. His title and name are nearly unpronounceable in basic

so he is frequently adressed as "Master K" or most simply "master". Particularly obsequious persons name him "Lord K" or "my Lord"

[n1majneb]

Welcome back Nico, 
That Mandalorian is fantastic! 
I'm looking forward to seeing where the Historian takes you!

The Followers of the Force have created a Blockade in the Kinyen system (L15). The purpose of this blockade, cornerstoned by a powerful Mom Calamari warship, is to secure neutrality on the Great Gran Run. To that end, it applies to both Imperial and Republic affiliates, preventing either from invading the other.

Led Nem of clan Rau.  He is a foundling who was a child at the time of Order 66.  He was traveling with a Jedi who was ambushed and killed.  He went into hiding as the Empire further attacked the planet taking with him the Jedi's lightsaber.  He was found by Fenn Rau of the Protectors who took him in as a foundling.  Led was raised in the ways of the Mandolore, always keeping the lightsaber with him.  He has always had an attachment to the lightsaber, but doesn't know why.  He is Mandolorian through and through.  But lately he has been feeling the pull of the lightsaber....
