Kyle Katarn is aweome. Dark Forces is awesome. The Mandalorian is awesome. Dark Troopers are awesome. But do you know what is not awesome, Dark Troopers in our game. Their large bases and sub-par stats have never really let them shine or be competitive. Rom Mohc was a move in the right direction but both BT-1/000 and Moff Gideon that have since come out to help them, are situational and help only some of the dark troopers while Gideon even stops Rom from working. So this week’s challenge is to design something or someone that pushes these C tier Troopers up to competive tier 1. Good luck and help make Death Troopers awesome.
1. The character must be canonical to either of the Canon or Legends continuities but must be from the chosen faction when required. They can have affinity, but the character must start in the chosen faction.
2. You may update any existing versions you already have and/or create a new one. You may update/create several versions of the character but you must ultimately select 1 you wish to run with. (this must be done by the schedule below)
3. Place a hyperlink in this forum to make it easier to find your character. You can just post the stats or image here but if changes are needed it would be easier (and save space) if you just used a Hyperlink (If you don't know how to post Hyperlinks in a forum setting please ask and we will help you. It's not hard )
4. Voting works as follows, pick your three favorite customs based on accuracy to the character, design, balance or whatever you decide makes the best incarnation of the challenge character. First place receives 3 points, 2nd place receives 2 points, and 3rd place receives 1 point.
5. You do not have to enter the contest in order to vote. But unless you enter you must have at least 10 forum posts.
6. To make things fair you must vote in order to win the contest. You must choose three characters entered in the contest and you may not rate or vote for your own character.
7. The winner will be decided by how many points they receive. Ties will be broken by most 1st place votes, then if still tied, 2nd place votes and then 3rd place votes. If still tied, then the outcome is a tie.
8. You may not change or update the entered character AFTER the deadline.
You will have until Sunday, April 25th, 2021 @8pm EDT to get your submissions in. Anything submitted after this point will not be included in the voting.
Voting will start at 8pm Sunday evening and end at 11pm EDT on Monday, April 26th, 2021.
At the conclusion of the voting the scores will be tallied and the winner will start a new topic with their choice of theme

I do not know if we are remodeling existing pieces so I'll go with this one in the sense that is new. Dark Trooper Phase 0 Commander

I didn't see this until now, but here is my submission: http://www.bloomilk.com/Custom/39635/dark-trooperI made this to be true to how dark troopers are portrayed in the Mandalorian and to be a tank that can survive the damage-heavy meta. 1. Argon 2. GG 3. Jak

Argon, nice swarm boost though I usually like having the CE abilities spelled out on the card but I see why you went the way you did
Darth Bain, I like your very thematic Mandalorian piece, it doesn’t boost up his Dark Forces peers but it is an excellent and solid representation of them in the show.
Jak, I like the simplicity of the piece and I can see what you are going for but you are missing Droids are subject to this effect so the commander effect only helps the one random living Dark Trooper, also i think Range 12 was meant to be Grenade Launcher?
3rd Jak 2nd Darth Bain 1st Argon

Yeah I get you. Generaly I prefer that also, but there are figures out there which have CEs that grant abilities not tied to their own SAs and I believe that makes sense in some occassions. Like how some figs give extra attacks, bodyguard and clone commander have CEs with Squad abilites, I feel like it is them guiding the troopers into battle rather than imposing their own personal strategy to fight. Sorry Bain I didn't vote you but I didn't see you earlier. I could change my vote, but it seems like I take the win this week, so thanks guys. I'll think something to post tommorow probably.
