Getting Creative with the Clones


 I had the idea of creating some heavy weapon positions for the Clones. These were very fun to do using a selection of bits from old projects.

The repeating blasters are resin guns from when I was creating my own Transformers. I selected a couple that looked about right for scale.

The ammo box's and crates were from years ago when I was collecting 15mm Sci-Fi stuff. I remember they weren't cheap, so I'm happy to be finally using some after all these years. Being 15mm they are the perfect scale for my Clone Wars project.
Gathering the bits and bobs together for the build. I also have some cabling that I will add to the base after the flocking is done.


I imagine in Xenos Rampant they will be heavy weapons with the armour piercing trait too. Great for cutting through droid battalions like a hot vibro blade through butter.
Not sure how will use these but they will be great for defending an objective or holding the line.
I used the lead sprue the boxes came on as a power cable. I just twisted it and inserted it into a hole on the side of the gun. This saved me messing around with cables and should look the part when painted.
Clones spill out of the crippled walker to set up a perimeter defense.
A couple of Clones were selected with positions that looked good servicing the gun.
The 1920's feel of the weapons matches the retro look of the Clones with their Flash Gordon style helmets.

Update: A nice white undercoat, almost finishes the figure.
