Droids, Clone Troopers and... Grubs?

Ebay delivered some more Star Wars minis today.  Mostly droids and Clone Troopers, I have another 20 Clone Troopers on the way too so I think I've got just about enough of them.  Wouldn't mind a few more droids though, especially those nasty droidekas.

More droids with some of the cool rocket battles droids and two of the crack shot battle droid assassins.  Also some super battle droids, you can never have too many super battle droids.

To help even things up a little there's some heavy duty firepower for the clone troopers.  Some heavy clone troopers and some clone trooper grenadiers.  Note the later period clone troopers in the back left.

I never knew clone troopers rode grubs.  And now that I do know I still don't understand why.  But the mini is pretty cool looking even if somewhat strange.

A very nice looking chameleon droid.

To lead the clone troopers who else could I turn to but Aayla Secura.  Need to sort the light saber out.  Just have to remember to keep the clone troopers in front of her at all times.  Order 66... nasty business.

And to lead the bad guys I just had to have Darth Sidius

Like I mentioned earlier I have another lot of clone troopers coming as well as these scum:

Don't know how they'll fit into Star Wars Commander games but they're so cool I'll just have to find a way.

Echo Base, this is Rogue Two. I've found them. Repeat, I've found them.

The Star Wars minis arrived from Hong Kong, which is suprising since they were the last of about three orders I placed and they're the only ones that have arrived so far.  I'm so bad at waiting for international orders.

The minisatures themselves are basically what I expected: great sculpts and posing with very average paintjobs.  I had to touch up a couple minis, Wedge had a huge black spot on his nose which just had to go.  I almost started touching up other parts of the minis but resisted... for now.

I'm a little annoyed that the Tauntaun riders have different sized bases.  They'ye both Rebels riding the same beast and yet a everyman Rebel trooper has a bigger base than Luke Skywalker?  I may even rebase them one day but for now they'll do as they are.

With a bit of luck I'll get some more bases done this weekend and maybe even start playtesting Star Wars Commander.
