The BrikWars Forums

I may be a newcomer, but at least I came prepared...

I call these guys: The 3rd Regular Army Deserters

Command:

(Note the guy with the cape isn't my hero. He just orders around the troops.)


Troops: (AKA cannon-fodder. They never do anything except die. Which is the point, I suppose.)

I'm mostly using Ep. 3 and Clone Wars troopers. Thinking of expanding to something not so blatantly Star Wars.


Scouts:



Grenadiers: (AKA marines. Lego blatantly ripped off 40K with these guys)

These guys usually hitch a ride in the Cheeseboard (see below).


Melee specialists:

This lot jump on the back of the Flamin' Halftrack (again, see below).


Hero #1 - Cyrus, the syntactic non-conformist

He's my main hero. The other two are replacements.

Hero #2 - Archie, the long denigrator


Hero #3 - Fumbles, the ninja guy

Just don't ask about the titles.

*The building visible as backdrop in some photos is a semi-ruined outpost I've made. Pics may follow.


AND NOW... THE VEHICLES
Starting with the air force:

The Cheeseboard

The flagship. She's a swanky bird.

Underside


Capacity - 13 figs, including pilot

The Dragonfly

And a *thwoosh* shot, because the other one just doesn't cut it. Don't mind the hand.



The Tablespoon

And it's counterpart, The Steak-Knife



And finally, the esteemed Fork brothers



Ground vehicles (Currently working on these)

Mechsuits

Ellie on the left, Midge on the right. They support the foot-sloggers.


And... The Flamin' Halftrack

Has a capacity of 8 figs in the back.

So... yeah. That's what I've got completed so far. Other additions may follow.

Soon.

-----EDIT-----
Minor reinforcements, consisting of, and not exceeding, one (1) battle tank.

The Land Shark. My new anti-everything tank.

Also, I've developed a new mounted machine-gun.

Not that anyone's going to be using it up there.

You did a great job of making a clone army unique. The vehicles are great btw. The Cheeseknife is great, my favorite, reminds me I should spend tomorrow making my transport.

I am not a fan of Clone/Stormtrooper armies but the melee specialists look cool!

The Halftrack is the best here. It's so whacky in a Brikwars way.

That dropship is very starcraft, I like it!

You did indeed come prepared. The vehicles are very nice, and so are the more unique clones. I would say mostly move away from clones as regulars, those melee specialists are pretty cool.

Wow, these guys are amazing. You did a great job adding flavor to your clone minifigs, and you built some pretty awesome vehicles -- especially that mothership.

Hey! It's not a ripoff, it's an homage.

The armor itself is based on Lex Luthor's power armor rather than 40k, although I don't think we ended up giving it to him except in the video games. But you know how it goes - as long as we had the design anyway, why not release it in ultramarine color for the fanboys?

I'm pretty sure the Galaxy Patrol guys were originally all going to get this armor in all different colors, but they got scaled back for some reason.

Possibly because GW demonstrated its willingness to sue anyone who uses "space" and "marine" in the same sentence.

Those flying machines are cool as hell. Don't even get me started on that halftrack.

Nah, I don't think LEGO would even blink. I'd pay to watch GW's legal team try to step to the guys LEGO keeps on retainer.

I'd like to think that too, but I suspect that confrontation has already happened. The "Space Troopers" cuusoo theme was originally called "Space Marines", until someone requested they cease using the name because it coincided with a trademark owned by another company. I think we can guess which company that was.

probably my favorite Clonetrooper army!

Welcome to the war

This a a really interesting use of a clone army, I like it a lot. The vehicles are great, and the dragonfly is probably my favorite. Continue to find little ways to modify the clones and differentiate them from the originals, like you did with the melee troops. You could change some of the arms, legs and helmets for instance.

Those mechs, I love em dude. But I would make the arms a bit bulkier, right now they just seem thin

As said before the clones look great, but if you want to customize them further you really don't have to do much. Swap out a few helmets or leg bits and you'll have a mean looking custom army - the clonesuits make a really good base for the rest of a uniform to follow up on. For example, your melee dudes may only have a cape and a sword, but that's still enough to make them not look like blatant star-wars ripoffs.
