Commander V'gr was one of the last clones trained by ARC Capt. Reece months before Order 66.  At the end of V'gr and other commanders' training, Reece left for a special assignment with a Jedi General.  V'gr was to take command of an outpost on the jungle planet of Draxon III.  Upon arrival into the system, there was no response to his landing request.  He then had the pilot land at the bases landing platform.  He and two troopers did a quick recon of the facilities and found bodies everywhere.  Each one mauled and viciously torn apart.  Before they could return to their ship, they heard a growl behind them.  It was a several cat-like humanoids mounted on the backs of Rancors.  Mounted on one of the Rancors was someone in Jedi robes...

Looks good; the colors actually seem to work pretty well together!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Model Master - Acryl, #2 Green

I love this shade of green.  I'm actually trying to not use it for too many customs.

Do what I do sometimes, sit at my workbench for a long time until I pick a color.  This could be a couple of minutes to almost a half hour while I pick through fodder and such until something comes to me.  Or I've actually walked through the house, work, or whatever and see a color combo that could work.

Here's a simple WIP.  I have so many Jango heads, I think I'll start using them with any new clone customs.

Denrhek was just another clone trooper that just wanted to get through each mission as intact as the next guy.  He wanted his platoon to be just as intact.  At the battle of Redlinta, he lost his entire platoon and his arm.  After being dunked in bacta and given a prosthetic, his ARC Lt. was waiting outside the hospital ward.  He told him that he was being cross trained into Special Forces.  After losing so much, he easily accepted.  During his training, he instructors noted a high level of aggression.  They liked that.

Thanks, don't know yet if I want to do a major paint job or just a couple of tweeks.  There are some other ones like this that I may pool together and make some kind of unit; platoon, company, or just a small squad.  We'll see.  School starts Monday.
