From AaronH - Mandos (76 pts)

 We're back to Star Wars Legion, this time with Boba Fett, Boba Fett and six Mandalorian Super Commandos. Boba is a mercenary that can be taken in several factions, though the two versions are used in different factions. The super commandos are part of the Shadow Collective, and also mercenaries. I have four units of these and I want them each different, so these are actually the "last" unit since the others will be painted as Maul loyalists, Death Watch and something else, I guess.

Boba, Boba and six posers.

This model is the classic, movie, Boba. Scuffed armor, grey jump suit and cape. This model was the original model and is primarily allied with the Empire in game. 

Most flight stands are a pain on the table but this one is not too bad.

This Boba comes with one set of three command cards. The Book of Boba Fett model comes with three different cards. Between the two decks there are a lot of really great options.

Next up is the newer model. This one is from the Book of Boba Fett and has cleaned up armor and black, Tusken Raider robes.

I love both models, but this one is my favorite of the two.

This version can be taken by Rebels. Bounty hunters have a nice mechanic for getting extra points in the game so it's nice for rebels to have a little bit (very little) on bringing them.

The posing on this is really dynamic. The rock is part of the model.

Boba Fett has been the classic Mandalorian for so long that even the new additions to canon don't overshadow him. He's just iconic for Star Wars. Bearing that thought in mind, I decided to paint up one of my four units of mando super commandos in his color scheme.

While there are six models, the unit can only take four. The others are upgrade options.

The blue flames are a nice contrast, but I am going to have to try to build my last unit of these without the flight stands. They are just terrible on the table.

Pose 3. Never in the history of calming down has motioning someone to calm down made the situation calmer.

Pose 4

Mando's bring amazing speed and maneuverability coupled with great saves and serious short range firepower. Their big weakness is that they are small units (4) so they lose efficiency quickly when they start dropping. Star Wars Legion is a game that is all about objectives and this unit has a ton of utility at scoring those.

Pose 6

This is my first completed army for the Shadow Collective Army. I'm not playing any units that aren't painted so only 8 or 10 more to go before I can put them on the table.

In Summary:

2 x Boba Fett @5 7pts = 10 14 pts

6 x Mandalorian Super Commando @5 7pts = 42 pts

Sci/Fi Bonus = 20 pts

Total 60 pts 40 pts 76 pts

Great job on these models Aaron. I really see what you mean about the flight stands - even though these are plastic models they tend to get top-heavy. D'you think a washer weighting down the underside of the base might help? In any case, they look great and remind me that I should get cracking on my own Boba model (the Book one).

However... the Sci-Fi section is in the "Rotunda First Floor" (must've been a Brit that came up with that, we here in North Americashire would call it the "second floor") and is only accessible from the Rotunda proper, and you can only get to the Rotunda after passing through the Entrance (which you have) and Library Section 2. So I unfortunately have to deny the Sci-Fi bonus for this submission. Good news is you can still visit the Sci-Fi room later on once you've cleared Section 2 and the Rotunda!

Apparently my interpretation was mistaken (apologies) and the Cart can be used to visit ANY Section of the Library (Except the final Rare & Antique Section) as long as the participant has cleared at least two topics in their current section. So your bonus points claim is valid and the table will be updated.

ps Points total was adjusted because I am advised that SW Legion infantry are rated at 7 points each. D.
