Hey everyone.
Got the scorpion green i needed and i managed to finish these customs early this morning. The photoshoot is what took longest. Its like gale force winds just had to turn up when i was setting up outside!! I have to say, i 'borrowed' some ideas from Fiala when making these customs. I've always loved his firestorm troopers!! And the base is so fiala too!! Thanks for the inspiration man!!
Here's the backstory.
E.O.D.S.T (Elite Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) were deployed late in the clone wars after the conclusion of the Battle of Coruscant. Jumping from low orbiting Cruisers, E.O.D.S.T's used small modified jet packs to control their altitude and speed, whilst a special breathing device supplied them with air whilst in the troposphere. Armed with ARC casters, these troops could easily take out 4 droid targets when the gun was fully charged. These troopers saw great use in the battle of Utapau, where they easily manoeuvred themselves into the sinkholes and engaged droid forces on landing platforms. Commonly mistaken with Jet Troopers, E.O.D.S.T's had a greater level of training, highly modified armour and jet packs and a much powerful gun. At the conclusion of the clone wars these troopers were phased out and eventually evolved into Phase Zero Dark Troopers. Leading the E.O.D.S.T's is Commander Remat, who rather than jumping with his legion, prefers to land and engage the enemy after his troops have cleared the way.
Here's some clanker smashing action!!
Hope you guys like em!!
