You know all those people who said I can't attack anything with LDD creations?



Yeah... FUCK ALL YA'LL!

Yea, you still can't attack anything with LDD creations.

That's because I've yet to buy the bricks to build them, duh.

But now I actually DO have a physical army with which to carry out my wrath!

Glad you got your hands on some bricks. Yet, droids or overall SW stuff is an easy way of making a generic and unoriginal army. Mostly droids. You planning on converting those or something? Unless you want a CIS army of course.

Well kinda sorta...
You see, I love Battle Droids, but I've got no real love for the Separatist or a lot of their vehicles.

Therefore this army will be the Briktoid Automata, a rouge faction of Grade Federation droids who rebelled so they could play vidagames in peace.
Unfortunately, this is the Brikwars Universe, so they rarely have a chance to set up a proper LAN party before some manics start making a racket.

Thus, legions of Space Skeletons are sent out to exterminate such nuisances as they arise.

As I've said in another thread, I did have a group of droids whose arms all broke, so I'm planning on eventually turning those into "Special" units, as well as adding Astromeks for Heros and/or Resurrectors.
Then there are the vehicles, which I'll be doing in LDD before hopefully buying and building.

Battledroids are good for filling the ranks, I happened to have a tidy collection just sitting about already when I first started Brikwars so that's exactly what they're doing now. I can't stand how they can only hold blasters sideways though, so I have them claw people apart instead.

Then new ones come with hands that are perpenducular, so that's no longer a problem.

There really isn't a lot you -can- do with Battle Droid parts, I mean I once made a small contraption using nothing but Battle droid arms and torsos, parts I couldnt find heads and legs for, and it somewhat resembled a Destroyer Droid, but again, there isn't much you can use them for except battle droids.

They tend t be cheaper aswell, and available in higher numbers

I think that this year's Star Wars sets are garbage, very dissapointed in them.

Boy, is that wrong.

Torsos are the only piece with a handle at both ends and a stud in the middle. They're quite dense for what you can do with them. Heads make great claws. Arms have clips at either end and I want to play with the new 90° ones.

Indeed.
But a word of warning Josh, they say that the 90° arms are a little weaker then the regular ones.

Ok, how should I stat the two Droid carriers?
They are technically repulsorlift craft, so all the have are slide shoes or skis on the bottom...

I Was talking about Fig sized infantry, not big mecha things.

you can make dungon swarmers!

They're vehicles of whatever size they measure out to be. I'd say about 1d10 armor and 8" move sounds about right. The pilot can deploy the carrier pod as an action.

doesn't have to be big mech things either. My minotaurs use droid parts; Zahru's angel of death uses droid parts; SaberScorpion's lizardmen use droid parts. There is plenty of room to get creative with excess droidage.
