Point? What point? Did I say it had a point? It doesn't have a point, I just did it for fun. Sometimes, I get ideas for customs just watching TV, playing a game, or even browsing Wookiepedia. One of the ideas I got while browsing Wookiepedia is a Rebel Marksman. Since the character model of the Rebel Marksman from the Battlefront games seems to be based on the Endor Scout, it was only fair to use an Endor Scout Attacktix as the base for the custom. The sleeves of the undershirt were painted Base Skin Tone, the gloves Flat Black, and the pants were painted True Blue Pearl.

Sad to see Attacktix has never returned.

Another custom inspired while browsing Wookiepedia, the Imperial Novatrooper. I'll admit, all I know about the Novatrooper comes from Wookiepedia since I don't play Galaxies. According to the article, this black and gold armored Stormtrooper is an elite trooper used in special missions like infiltrating enemy bases... interestingly enough, it also carries heavy weapons for frontal assault - though custom-wise I used a basic Stormie since I don't have any Heavies. I actually like the gold stripes on the arms, they remind me of the Clone Lieutenants, Captains and Commanders... Parts/Paint: All: SW(4) Stormtrooper, painted using Pactra Basic Black with Pactra Gold Pearl details.

Well, it's not my idea, it's based on one of the Imperial troops from the MMORPG "Star Wars: Galaxies".

Mmm...sinister. I wonder what it'd look like if a Punisher missile were filed at the rear of the shaft, and a dab of gold placed at the business end of the missile. I like the look of this Stormie, though, and I think you're right about the coloration being reminiscent of the way the various clones look.

You mean the black Medium missile?
...You may be right. Yeah, I think you're right...

Pretty cool looking, but I think a bigger base would do the figure more justice. After all, the wiki said that they are more powerful than the average stormtroopers. Great job, though. Again, better than I could do.
