Thank you Tamer. I knew you were in the service, but I didn't know what job you had, very cool. I kind of like the cannon on the back of the tank. I'd like to build a diorama, possibly Kashyyyk. I'll incorporate the cannon whether fixed or on the tank. I always gravitate towards Kashyyyk, it's familiar, but still leaves a lot for the imagination. Besides Chewbacca is one of my favorites. I have enough imperials do do a huge dio and I have ideas for custom troopers.

Sounds like a great plan to me.

Great idea.
The imperial assault tank looks like a modular platform like the Stryker or the  GTK Boxer. It would be great to see a medical version or a anti aircraft version.

Definitely, the possibilities are limitless. Troop transport, missile platform.  I like the hover tank platform, it's practical.

This is my version of a Coastal Defender Stormtrooper, (Kashyyyk) Captain, Wookiee Hunter. He uses a custom "Imperial" bowcaster, utilizing the frame from a DLT-20 rifle.

Also I swapped the soft goods for a rubber mudtrooper cape on the sniper. Honestly I like rubber "soft goods" as opposed to fabric, depending on the figure, and how it's used.

FialaFernbrugg and I were talking about Kashyyyk just yesterday evening...and when I saw your pictures this morning my jaw dropped!
These three versions of Imperial Coastal Troopers on Kashyyyk look so cool! I really like the designs (great helmet and deco variations!) and the green you added to their armour!
I think you can display the one with the Jumptrooper helmet right next to the Mimban Stormtrooper! The chest belt and the rifle/staff look awesome!

Wow, these are so exciting ideas, I would've never come up with! Thanks for sharing & keep up the great work, please!

Thank you, Phillip, quite the compliment. I think the Kashyyyk campaign is an interesting subject. I have a whole lot of ideas, for troops, vehicles ect.

Thank you Tamer. All good I don't deal with Facebook anymore, too much headache. But I hope you're internet gets taken care of soon, it's a bear not having it. Like living off the grid.

Nice JDeck.  I like the design on your third figure. The jump trooper helmet and the cape are a great idea. I like that fur collar too - it has all kinds of potential for hunters, pirates and wraps for fashionable people!

Thank you. The first and second figures are the same figure but one is absent of the accessories to show the captain paint job, which is similar to the scarif version except it's green instead of blue. Lol. Yeah the fur collar has potential. It's a bit ostentatious for a Stormtrooper, but it's cool.

These alternate helmets on the Shoretrooper bodu are excellent mate.

Thank you Ron. I like the new trooper designs. The scarif/tank drivers remind me of a combination of ww1 and Roman cavalry, with the crop pants and helmet designs, but they still have some traditional Stormtrooper parts, like arms and mid section.  They make for good base figures. The mimban helmet is similar to ww1 German trench helmets, with the added front plate, and the jumptrooper helmet is like a cross between a Stormtrooper and scout helmet.   So I'm going for sort of an imperial cavalry unit.

I love the mix of Shoretrooper body and Stormtrooper helmet.
The sniper looks brilliant too.
Excellent work.

Thank you FF!! I just like to experiment with  different combinations. I'm an army builder, but when it comes to environmentally specific troopers I use them to experiment.
