My Imperial Army-Build W.I.P.
« on: April 10, 2017, 07:27:20 PM »
     I've been working on building a 3.75" Imperial Army off and on for a few years now.  Some are customs, but most are factory. I wanted at least a squad of each trooper type, and all the major high ranking officers.
   I've had them sitting in a box, but the box started to overflow, so I bought a bunch of acrylic stands, and made room on a shelf.  I have them split between two shelves, Emperor/Navy on the top shelf, and Vader/Army/Stormtrooper corps, on the bottom. I still have plenty of room left so I'm not finished yet. I really don't know how far I'll go. I decided not to collect sandtroopers, Snowtroopers, or scarif troopers, because being environment specific, they would look strange all on the same shelf.
I still need to install better lighting, probably a cool white LED.

Thanks guys!!!
I have a slight update. A few more officers, a few more troopers. I still need a more of the comic pack figures. Also I need to make a some custom officers. I have a couple on deck to be made. I can't wait until TVC, I'm pretty sure they will make a Sim Aloo, and hopefully an SA Krennic. I hope they do a realistic version of Agent Kallus.

Awesome collection! And nicely displayed!

I recently caught the Imperial collecting bug, Rogue One drew me in...hopefully I'll post some pictures soon of my troops. Yours is an inspiration! I always love beautiful collections and the chance to marvel at such armies!

I set up the Stormtrooper platoon. I definitely need a bigger boat, but I just wanted to get them out of the box to see how they look.

From left to right by ten man squads; Mortar squad, Grenadier squad, Platoon HQ/Heavy repeater squad, Light repeater/Assault squad, incinerator/Assault squad. 
Platoon HQ acts as a defensive position, suppressing enemy fire, lead by the platoon commander.  While the Mortar/Grenadier squads flank right, the Assault Squads flank left, lead by Platoon leaders.  Each squad is divided into fire teams. Fire team A, lead by a Sergeant, B lead by Corporal with a speciality weapon.  The formation is subject to change when I add scout squads, Shadow stormtroopers, death troopers and maybe Scarif/Coastal Defender troopers. Plus AT-AT, AT-ST/Cavalry units for a full Company. But I need a proper display.

Im thinking about using a TV stand or somethinglike that to make an imperial base display.

In a trade deal with Tamer I reached the 100 stormtrooper threshold, plus the commander. Now I'll work on 200 lol.

Awesome thank you for the link! I need at least 10. I'm trying to figure out my reconnaissance platoon. I currently have a scout trooper squad and 10 AT-ST drivers. But that's only 20 out of a platoon of 50. I might fill it with mechanics or stormtroopers. Idk. But I can always use cheap stormtroopers. I pay on average $15 USD per stormtrooper, this will help lower the cost per average.

Thank you Ant!

I was taking inventory, so i decided to set up my non stormtroopers, in an Armored company. I bought enough stormtroopers to take the mimban stormtrooper and mudtrooper squads out of the stormtrooper platoon. In Solo, the mimban troopers were part of an Armored Division. So i have from left to right, Patrol troopers, Scout troopers, shadow troopers, AT-DT drivers (mimban troopers), Army troopers (mud troopers), AT-ST drivers,  AT-AT drivers, ITT drivers.
I'll probably throw in some scanning crew figures, for maintenance guys to round to 100. So that'll be 100 stormtroopers, 100 man armored company. I need to take inventory of my navy now.
