Dirty Gloves' Figures -Sat 11-12 update
« on: September 06, 2011, 07:37:04 PM »
I really liked the idea of Spry & company's Star Wars Apocalypse, and anyone who has seen my flickr knows I love green. So I decided to come up with a SW 'verse that allows me to do both. It's kinda a mix of SW Apocalypse meets the show 'Lost' (as lame as that sounds lol)

During the clone wars, the 313, was a small army of various clone troops under the leadership of one Jedi general who were charged with seeking out Outer Rim planets that may come to be of interest to the Droid army. Planets rich of metal ore, strategic launching points, etc.  It is a force made up of clones with skills ranging from combat, engineers, medics, construction and more. When you are going onto an unfamiliar planet and have no idea how long you'll be there, it's best to be prepared.

After a successful occupation and colony setup, the 313 prepared to jump to there next target planet. The republic designated there target, planet MEM13. After receiving there new target planet, they were preparing to make the jump to lightspeed when members of the droid army appeared. They were instantly under an onslaught of firepower just as there ship entered the jump. As a result, something went horribly wrong. They came out of lightspeed and directly entered into the tail of a large comet. The debris was fierce. Coupled with the damage from the droid army there was no hope. There ship began to come apart as they entered the atmosphere of the planet they believed to be MEM13.

The crash killed most of the 313 and virtually all the ships crew. There Jedi general was also killed and his padawan fled into the jungle, -a mix of injury, hysteria and madness. Nevertheless, the 313 did what they have been trained to do. They set up a base of operations, they began to look for the reason they were sent to guard MEM13 or Memfrica, as the survivors are calling it, and they began to find a way of the rock.

What they don't know is that they are not on planet MEM13. What they don't know is that they are no where near planet Memfrica. What they don't know is that the Republic believes that the 113 are dead and that no one is even looking for them. What they don't know is that the survivors are on there own.

The 313 is completely alone. Cutoff from the Republic, cutoff from the war. They have limited resources and know nothing about the planet they are are on. The 313's new goal is simple.
Survive.

But there are more than just jungles to Memfrica. The question is... will the survivors, in fact, survive?


Known to the survivors as 'Chips', due to the crude hardware used in his prosthetic limb -post crash. Chips is truly gifted ARF trooper. Still uneasy and embarrassed by the microchips and metal that make up his new arm, he is nonetheless a excellent scout and frequently goes out alone for long periods of time to scout the new planet of Memfrica that the survivors now call home. His new arm does have one advantage, it allows him to wield a custom built and very heavy blaster, which power is unmatched.

Chips is vital to the survivors. But will his tendency to go out great distances, alone, be his undoing?

He looks like he's been to Hell and back and is looking for some more.

A few figs I made last night in between early morning baby feedings. lol

Outback


Duke


What if? Luke Skywalker, Agent of the Empire
I had an extra Luke and wanted to put my own spin on it. Basically what if Vader didn't intervene in ROTJ and after enduring some force lightning, Luke gives into his anger and joins the dark side.
I know, it's kinda fan boyish, but get over it! ;)
