These are cool. I really like how you utilized the R1 Stormtrooper armor. It turned out really cool.

Thanks JDeck, i think i'm going to paint a little more stormtrooper armour on them so they only have a few parts missing and upgrade the helemt's to the saga version

Excellent work, I love the weathering you created.
I wanted to ask what head did u use on the bold goatee and what lower body for the mind bender, I love the use of the holster?

Cheers ..i think the head is Dr Rex Lewis from the rise of cobra line with some green stuff putty for the tash (made it last year and had it put to one side so not 100% sure but i think it is) ..the body is a rise of cobra elite viper with the chest armour removed

These guys looks great - and appropriately gritty! They add to the less "uniform" sense of a unit without the resources and backing of a major military regime.

Nice, off to the front pages.

Nice batch! Like other's have said I really dig the piecemeal armor and the use of the Joe heads. They've got a lot of personality.

Thanks bud, yeah there are some great Joe figures in that rise of cobra line 8)

I think that brown capes might be interesting.

You're building quite a remnant army here. Really good choice of bodies to underneath the armor.

I love the story of these guys. Man and they are gonna be able to shoot! Outstanding.
Off to share the update on the front pages.

The Stormtrooper remnants look great! My theory was the E-11 was inaccurate. I figured it was made mainly for close quarters and for boarding ships, much like the Blunderbuss of the 1700s. That's why you always see them shooting from the hip, because they're bound to hit something in tight quarters. However in the new games they are pretty accurate, so there goes my theory. Shooting from the hip is not a good technique.

Some great observations JDeck 8) ..what do you use to stop the paint chipping at the joints?
-
In short I avoid painting joints. There really isn't a sure fire way of preventing joint rub. You can use the super glue technique. You put droplets of super glue over the paint without getting into the joints. I never tried. If I have to paint joints I select parts that are as close as possible to the color I need to paint. Otherwise I would rather paint the body to match the arms or legs.

Thanks for the info 8) .. new to custom figures so was wondering how you guys did it ;D ..maybe some kind of dye might work, will have a play around
-
These guys look great! I'm with JDeck on the joint thing. Some customizers do a great job sanding the joint down a little and such, but that's more skill than my thick old fingers are equipped for, so I avoid painting the joints whenever possible.

I will have to remember not to paint the joints in future, i might try some black dye or permanent marker pen on the one's i've done
-
I do use Sharpie permanent markers to color joints when I can. They have lots of different colors, including metallics.

Cool 8) ..i will look for some of them
-
Great job! These guys look more like remnant troopers than the ones in the show! Rough, cobbled together, like they really are out on the frontier with no resources.
Terrific!

Thank you, that's the way i would imagine them to be too, armour missing, dirty, piece together what they can, capes to keep them warm at night as they sleep where they can etc

I'm late to the party, but I really like the black capes and the idea of a Comic style story for them! The diorama display looks spot on to do so. Really looking forward to seeing how this develops.
-
The story is intriguing, I'm looking forward to seeing it laid out. I think you are doing some fun things with the concept, and the figures look really good.
