Topic: The Non-Canonical Legendary Narthex

I picked up a few of those comic packs myself, as well as juno when I was doing my Sirian Navy kick a couple years back.

I never got over how huge LUke's hat was,

Looking good man, looking good.

Ah, a man after my own heart! Awesome female officers! I love female characters and wish they'd release some more! Female troopers, rebels, etc. In the mean time we can always make 'em ourselves! Great job! What'd you use for the flags?

[halnarthax87]

I got the idea for that flag from a 501st flag I saw (the costume group), can't remember where, then I designed it myself on gimp and just printed them off. I think I'll do them in red next time.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  WOW!!!  I'm diggin your stuff.  They could be recruitimg posters but I don't know if I would join the Rebels for the ideals or the Empire for the officer corps.

The biggest problem with Palpatines in recent years have been the cowls which don't look like the film in the least. These can be trimmed to look somewhat right, but I decided to sew my own on. It's slightly sloppy but decent with all my knowledge of middle school home economics. He's also repainted to look a little more pale and red around the face.

Nicely done!

Your army building skills are off the hook.  Welcome to the Yards!

When you cannibalize and customize as many figures as this, you end up with some spare parts. A lot of spare parts. However, I often have more fun with using spare parts to be creative than I do with my original intended creations. Here are but a few, including a Mandalore warrior based on Mr. 47 from the Hitman games, he's got the bald head, cold face, black attire and dual silver pistols. With him is a member of the Mandalore aristocracy... who I actually made while thinking about Mozart's Queen of the Night from Die Zauberflötte (Believe it or not I'm an opera singer when not doing this). And at the bottom is an exiled member of the Chiss Ascendency turned pirate in the Rise of the Empire era.  Hope you all like.

Those look pretty cool.

[botwt]

These latest ones are very well done! 

[Tamer]

I love that Black Mando!

The Thrawn one is cool too. Back on the front page.

[Art deWhill]

wow, cool figures, love that Chiss and your influence coming from Mozart!!

Narthax began as a running joke in college as the most badass man in the galaxy, who was really nothing more than a drunk, violent, f*** up. But I liked the name so much I applied it to my very flawed hero in the Star Wars universe. During the early rebellion days he's a drifter, doesn't talk much, dry-humored and somewhat mysterious. He carries a lightsaber that he isn't very adept with using, but is talented with force mind tricks, despite this he claims to have no past affiliation with the Jedi Order. In secret he masquerades as a cloaked vigilante (claiming to be a jedi ghost), assassinating imperial officials and creating fear in the chain of command. He teams up with a young woman named Kirri Starwind, a former imperial army officer who lead an uprising of Wookiee slaves, and an adventurous Jawa inventor named Tiku.
The three of them take on the Empire on the outer rim world of Aureole under imperial subjection. Despite its low status in the galaxy, the planet is host to a bounty of resources the Empire took interest in. The human aristocracy have sold out the world in exchange for political power in the Empire, enslaving the diverse alien population and exploiting lower class humans as well. Despite their imperial connections they are still extremely corrupt and have firm ties to the criminal underworld, including the Chiss pirate Wolf'garur'ordona (Wolf). Narthax, Kirri and Tiku work underground to unite the people to rise up against their oppressors, even convincing the pirates to fight for them in the end, considering they are mostly alien they come to realize once they outlive their usefulness they will be betrayed.

ALAS... last night I discovered a new Star Wars fan film known as "A Light in the Darkness" that has almost the exact same plot... f my life (vigilante lightsaber-wielding guy trying to unite the exploited people of some backwater world against the Empire). I can't stay mad at them though, the film they put together is truly impressive, very well filmed, edited and acted, not just by fan film standards either, it looks very professional. It's an entree in this year's fan film challenge, I highly recommend you check it out.

So... here are the figures I've made from this little story. Narthax's team, his alter ego, and the corrupt aristocrats, imperials and their criminal affiliates.
