Great figure and even better concepts. i love your back story. Hope to see more of Caji and his Equitors.

Thanks! I've got some planned (and maybe an enemy or two). We'll see when I can get to them.

New Equitors:









Vuragh - Medduwn's Equitors, Vuragh, belongs to the Stromma species from Oristrom. A strong-willed and honor-bound race, Vuragh chose exile over allowing his family to be dishonored for opposing the alliance with the Quesoth. In exile he met and was impressed by Caji Medduwn's integrity and commitment to justice and so transferred his staunch loyalty to the Equitors. (The Stromma are a non-described race from Timothy Zahn's "Crisis of Faith" - I was wondering about the species of the gray-skinned Fifth and Sixth Brothers and decided to ascribe them to the Stromma).

Recipe:
Head = Funko Ready Player One IROC (cowl removed)
Hat = Resistance Synara San with the face-mask cut off
Body = Comic Pack Koffi Arana
Arms = Savage Opress
Backpack and Kama/holster = Johnston Concept Snowtrooper

In the final picture Vuragh is joined by fellow Equitor Telsi-Amaad, a Demirian (seen in the Captain Phasma comics). He's a simple addition, just an Iron Man 2 War Machine figure, but he works.

Hopefully a couple more to come.

Very cool. I've been curious about the fifth brother species. I always like your backstories.

Great figure!  That helmet and the Iroc head go so well together.  And the color scheme is spot on.  Very cool.

Me too on Fifth Brother - so I just made an executive leap. Thanks, I don't do dioramas (too little space and time) - maybe one day - so I've got to have a reason to build a character. Hence, the backstory. :)

Thanks. I tried a lot of different headgear and wasn't satisfied with any of it (from berets to cowboy hats to military helmets) finally I thought I would risk Synara's helmet and I'm really happy with the result.

Good job with the Koffi Arana part. That's a seldom used part that looks good combined with the right parts.

Thanks! I really like the look of the Koffi Arana body, I just wish the arms were ball jointed too.

A couple of more Equitors:

Rayam’are’tranolo - going by the Basic name "Maret." A member of the CEDF as an advanced recon specialist, Maret came across the Equitors in the course of one of her missions. Intrigued, she contact her commanding officer, who authorized her to attach herself to the group as a member and so track their activities to make sure they pose no threat to the Chiss Ascendancy. She has developed a deep respect for the Equitors and genuine friendships with them over her two year assignment, and is considered an integral part of the team, even though a member of the Chiss military.



Kara - an Iridonian Zabrak that Caji rescued from a shuttle crash site when she was about 10 years old. She kept calling herself "Number Four" and talking about the Master and his training. Clearly trained in the dark side of the Force and full of anger, fear and confusion, Caji renamed "Number Four" Kara and slowly over the last several years has helped her heal emotionally and redirect her talent for good. Little does Caji know that Kara is a survivor of the Inquisitorius "Project Harvester" (and the daughter of his old friend Eeth Koth).



Recipes:
Kara:                                                                                       
Head = Force link Rey   
Torso/upper arms = VC Boussh
Lower arms = ROTS Luminara Unduli
Skirt = CW Embo
Legs = VC Barriss Offee

Maret:                                                         
Head = Comic Two-pack Sigel Dare                                     Torso = Avengers movie Scarlet Witch
Arms = Juno Ecilpse                                                       Legs = Comic Two-pack Mara Jade

Very cool characters. I like that your second character is the daughter of Koth. Also, who deny how awesome a chiss is? Great work!

Very cool indeed. The sculpting on the Kara head is well done, as is the paint apps. Great choice of parts for both.

Thanks! I ran across the Eeth Koth angle reading while researching the Inquisitorius and thought it could be fun.
