"Just Signed on with the Empire's Scout Troopers" Topic

With troops like these, recruitment quotas will be way easily exceeded:

Time to round up some rebel scum…..

I see the ongoing terror campaigns of sabotage and supply disruption by the perfidious rebels has begun to hit the noble Empire where it hurts most, with the loss of those materials necessary for uniform manufacture.

Damn you, rebels!

Damn you and your pants-destroying vendetta!

Feng Zhu has a great eye for design, especially the female form…the art remains me of Infinity Miniatures

Lovin' the proganda style posters.

And yes! Damn you….rebel scum…. for destroying that armoured pants factory… Sure… it means we get to see more of the women, but sadly, more of the men as well! Blades tend to be double edged. Except those light sabers, which are multidimensional….That's another problem for another day full of problems being related to melee weapon blades though.

I thought Imperial troops were all clones of Jango??

You just leave out the Y chromosome and duplicate the X when you mix up the DNA for your "poster girl" production run.

The women are the more ruthless of the species, despite appearances to the contrary…..

Boobies!

Those made the rounds in the Transhumanist forums years ago… They remain eye catching.

There are a couple of artists at UCLA who are doing some similar work. I will try to remember to post it when they get it done… One of them is doing (Groan)… Steampunk… He may do a Flash Animation of a Battle in the Venusian skies between the HMS Neue Caledonia and the SS Grel Spee (one of those "flying battleship" things – he never stops talking about them). It is a pity that he doesn't turn his work into gaming pieces. I might pay more attention to him then.

I dunno, with all due respect, Alex, I definitely find steampunk art and whatnot to be far more creative, fun, and, especially, original, than Star Wars stuff.

I'd say it was a definite step up.

The sense of light filtering through a tree canopy in the first image is really well done.

"I thought Imperial troops were all clones of Jango??"

After the Clone Wars, most Clone troopers were given the chance to leave the service and join society. From there, a "Humans only" recruitment policy was instated and the ranks swelled until only about 47% of the Imperial forces were still clones, with nearly all of them serving in the infantry(But apparently none of them serving on the Death Star or Endor, amirite?) As a way to replace some of the losses of the Jango clones however, the Kaminoans were asked to make more clone batches from new DNA doners, but they did rely mostly human recruits, especially after the Kaminoans tried to make their own clone army to liberate their world, but it was wiped out by the 501st.

I though that all Imperial Troops were clones, just not all of Jango after the clone war.

They had other Donors that they believed were "Superior" human specimens.

I suppose that women could fit that bill as well for many roles.

I just don't see "Storm Trooper" as being one of them.

But seriously, if you saw some uber sexy minx with a few bits of armour and a dental floss bikini walking towards you on the battlefield you would be so distracted she's outshoot you anytime. Hmmm then there would be whole armies of sexy babes out there… oh please invade me!

That may have remained true if the Kaminoans hadn't tried to raise their own clone army to free themselves. I somehow imagine that when the 501st destroyed that army, they took it a little further on the Kaminoan cloning facilities to prevent such a thing from happening again.

Actually, it's been a long-running joke amongst my friends since early in the months of my Strip Club Bouncer Years that if a drop-dead gorgeous woman walked up to me, scantily clad, and proceeded to flash her chest at me, my automatic reaction would be to sigh, reach for my pocket, and ask 'Need me to cash out some singles for ya?"

umm, surely you'd want to be invading them? Still, each to their own…… ;-p

Monk, you actually had drop-dead gorgeous ladies in the club you worked at? lucky man…
