The Mandalorian is a live-action Star Wars television series developed by Lucasfilm. The series takes place about five years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.

IMO the best live action production after Rogue One since the original Trilogy. Soon some very decent sculpts were available, I chose Jordan’s and was - as always - not disappointed.

Group shot with IG-88 from Imperial Assault. The aftermarket 3D print is clearly better…

“The cavalry has arrived!” - Clone Force 99, the bad batch is in my hands. I received the incredible good minis from Skull forge and started ASAP painting. Hunter and Wrecker are finished.

Clone Force 99, informally known as the Bad Batch, was a clone commando squad led by Captain Rex during the Clone Wars. The squad was formed from four Clone Troopers who were born with "desirable" genetic mutations that set them apart physically and mentally from their standard counterparts. These mutations were enhanced to make them into superior soldiers on the battlefield.
The commando unit was named after 99, a malformed maintenance clone in honor for his bravery and sacrifice in the defense of Kamino from a Separatist invasion.
The motley crew that makes up Clone Force 99 boasts an astounding 100 percent success rate and skills unseen in any other clone troopers. Adept at working together, Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Crosshair use their unique talents and specialized physiology to execute extraordinary solutions on the battlefield.

I liked CF 99 immediately, so I had to get the excellent after market minis. I even created some Zombicide Invader cards (they are in 150 dpi, so just save and print them if you like) to use them against some aliens from a Confederacy research station... Use the starting eqipment from the Zombicide - Dark Side box!

More background and pics are, as always on my site: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/clone_wars1.html

Clone Captain Rex
Clone Captain Rex viewed military service as an honor, and his loyalty to the Republic and his Jedi Generals was absolute. Rex honed the use of twin blaster pistols into an art form, leading his fellow clones to victory on countless battlefields across the galaxy.

I really like the Rex expansion, 3 head options and his typical 2 blaster pistol pose. As with CF-99 I could not resist and created a Zombicide Invader card for him.

And a group shot with CF-99 and his friend and Jedi Leader Ashoka Tano. Ashoka is from Imperial Assault. The mini is slightly smaller in scale but fits IMO OK, since she is supposed to be a bit shorter than the clones.

I love your team!

IA Ashoka is one of the finest from the IA range. As she is suppose to be an "adult" in IA, the difference of scale make her younger compare to SWL minis. That is perfect.

Love your paintjob. So clean

Count Dooku
"The best of all would be the strongest student, yes? Wisest? Most learned in the ways of the Force? Best of all, Dooku would be! Our greatest student! Our greatest failure."
―Yoda
A nice miniature, true to the Legion style of bigger than realistic feet, hands and head. The mini is even bigger than the B2 droids, but according to starwars.fandom.com this should be OK, since the good Count (Christopher Lee) was 1,93m.

"With these new battle droids we built for you, you'll have the finest army in the galaxy."
―Foreman Wat Tambor, to Count Dooku

Incredible good minis again, very true to Episode 2 and 3. Again super crisp plastic and an absolute joy to build and paint. Since I always liked the retro art-deco look of the B2 I painted not only one but two squads of these beauties!

Superb, as always. Please share more!

Thanks!

I will share (as soon as painted…) 😉

While clone troopers were best deployed in large numbers, articulated battlefield armor such as this Republic scout walker transformed a single clone trooper into a formidable anti-infantry unit. Designed primarily as a reconnaissance vehicle, this two-legged open-cockpit walker is nonetheless swift and heavily armed, letting a clone trooper cut through battle droids easily. It was employed in such campaigns as the Battle of Kashyyyk. It was the precursor to the All Terrain Scout Transport seen during the Galactic Civil War.
FFG already announced their model, but I wanted mine now. Since I had a couple of walkers from the Legion core box and I do not like them for Rebels the choice was simple, get a Clone Rider from Shapeways and all is fine. I went for one of the great Mel designs, but as always the Shapeways printing material was not as good as any mini from FFG. Otherwise it fitted perfectly, only the brittle blaster broke off during painting, I replaced it with a FFG arm.

212th Attack Battalion Clone Paratrooper

A very simple conversion, I used the body with the fitting right shoulder pad of the FFG Phase I Clone Troopers Upgrade Expansion and a Skull Forge Evictor head - done!

"Clone paratroopers were specialized clone troopers trained for airborne operations in the Grand Army of the Republic. In the waning days of the Clone Wars, the paratroopers of the 212th Attack Battalion served as front line assault units in the Battle of Utapau. Following a failed attempt to execute Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi as a result of Order 66, Clone Commander CC-2224 "Cody" ordered a group of paratroopers to search for the missing body of their former general. The troopers failed as Kenobi survived and escaped from the planet."

Two more Phase II Clones without any modification. The Phase II hard plastic minis are really good, I am very happy, great quality.

And a scenic pic together with Obi-Wan (Mels minis, slightly smaller or more realistic).

I presume the question was: " I would like to know how to do the bases of the model?"

Oh wow... that basing stuff makes for some great cracked earth effects. I've never seen that product before.

CC-2224, nicknamed "Cody," was a clone trooper officer who served as the Clone Marshal Commander of the renowned 7th Sky Corps and personally led the sub-unit 212th Attack Battalion during the Clone Wars.
A natural and practical leader, Commander Cody was the second-in-command of Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi, to whom he was particularly loyal.
A capable strategist and an exceptional soldier on the battlefield, his qualities earned him the respect of both his Jedi officer and his fellow clone troopers.

The Cody mini is a print from Dark Fire Designs - stunning mini that fits perfectly to the Legion minis.

I finshed my 1st Phase 2 squad including Commander Cody and an additional specialist.

And the standing "Child with Cup" is also painted.

Another nice 3D sculpt by Seb Miniatures and good print, Mother Talzin from the Clone Wars Nightsisters:

"Sidious is deceiving you—as he once deceived me."
"Then you know to betray the Dark Lord is folly."
"No, Count—to betray one's self is the ultimate defeat."
―Mother Talzin and Count Dooku

@ TK - I just contacted the guy behind SFS via Facebook.

I also started a Death Trooper squad. The female DT is from Imperial Assault, but fits very well to the FFG Legion minis.

And a back to back shot, really great details and faithful uniforms.

Thanks, painting these is REALLY simple.

I used Citadel colours.

1 - primed in Grey Seer

2 - Contrast Black Templar

3 - Very light White drybrush to give some edge highlights

4 - Weaposn in Leadbelcher

5 - Nuln Oil over the weapons

6 - glossy varnish over the mini

DONE!

I have finished a bit in the last 2 weeks:

The Anakin mini is a print from Dark Fire Designs - very nice mini that fits perfectly to the Legion Rex and the Imperial Assault Ashoka!

Clone Para Leader, Trooper and Heavy from Dark Fire Designs.

Biker Advanced Recon Commando (BARC) speeder right out of the CW box. The rider is the lousy soft plastic quality. I also did not mount he sidecar (do not like the look).

And the second Droideka is also done!
