Looks like they're putting out some last little items:

Halo 2 Weapons Pack

UNSC Small Turret, Covenant Small Turret, Brute Plasma Rifle, Shotgun, Assault Bomb, Frag Grenade, Plasma Grenade.

That looks pretty cool.

Jackal Major

Same version of the Series 8 (or 7?) Jackal with a gold shield.

Blue Spartan

Includes Large Stationary Turret (the one on top of bases on multiplayer), Blue Flag, Shotgun, 2 SMGs, and interchangeable left hand.

This guy comes with lots of goodies....I like that.

Finally, a Red Spartan with a Battle Rifle and Plasma Small Stationary Turret.

All are Diecastexpress.com (Joyride's online dealer) exclusives and are expected to ship late September.

Here's a little diorama I put together for my Imperial Commando PN- a little lean-to type shelter for them to sleep in while planetside. Nothing extravagant, just getting used to working with Fomecor so I'll be able to put Orden's villa together so it'll look okay.


It's not 3 3/4 tall, here's a pic to show its relative size:


If you're wondering who the guy is in that last pic...

ADSC Gunship Pilots are some of the most highly trained pilots in the Empire. Given extensive drilling under intense stress, these men are used to inserting small squads under heavy fire, or none at all. The pair of soldiers are inseperable- if they're clones, raised in the same pod, train together, fly together, fight together. One being the main pilot while the other being a gunner/drop marshall.

SARGEANT SYRUS- Gunship 1171's pilot, Syrus wears a flak vest under blast-proof armor to shield himself from possible shrapnel hits during insertion/extraction.




SARGEANT ELSON- 1171's Gunner, he wears a blaster-proof vest with a radio and spare ammo pouches. Giving many tasks such as operating the Gunship's main cannons, prepping squads for drops, and providing suppresive fire from above if neccesary.

Thanks MBA. It's still a ways off, but it's definitely going to happen.

Jedi Master Galven Orden was one of the best Jedi negotiators of his time. Suprisingly young for for a Jedi Master, Master Orden was assigned to the 5th Fleet Security Batallion. When Order 66 came through to their commander, though, the clone troopers opened fire on the powerful Jedi Master and his Padawan. Due to Orden's impressive lightsaber and exceptional force skills, he managed to cut down the 9-man squad that had betrayed him. He managed to sneak back into the hangar and escape in his Jedi Starfighter.

The loss of his Padawan and all other Jedi killed in the Jedi Purge plagueing his mind as he searched for a safe haven, he spiraled into a deep depression for many years until he overcame his guilt and stumbled onto the barq farming planet of Qiilura. Landing there, and constructing a small secluded villa in a remote region of the planet, Master Orden destroyed his Jedi robes for a pair of peasant ones.

Searching the galaxy for a bodyguard in case the Empire ever came back to hunt him down, Orden found Arnjak, a former Wookie cheiftan whose entire tribe was wiped out by clone troopers shortly after Order 66. Still bitter over the massacre that took place over 30 years ago, Arnjak was immensely strong and was nothing but fur and muscle. Hired by Orden, they developed a strong bond and became best friends instead of client and employer.

JEDI MASTER GALVEN ORDEN





ARNJAK, WOOKIE CHEIFTAN



Both of them together:


Well, I hope you like them. LMK what you think. Thanks for looking.

Spec-Ops Elite Commander w/ Covenant Carbine & Energy Sword


Hope that Series 8 isn't the last wave, after all, it's more than a year 'til Halo 3's released.

He's in Series 8- just with different weapons I think.

I remeber hearing on some forum (not SW, a Halo one) that Series 8 was the last Halo 2 wave, so Joyride can focus on planning the Halo 3 figures.

If I recall, the figures were out like 2 months before the game- some exclusives were in stores almost 3 months I think.

Maybe have a few with an olive drab jumpsuit patrolling the forest outside the city...

141
Well, they're back in stock, so if I'm able to I'll pick up 2 more so I'll have 4.

EDIT- I ended up getting 6, so now I'll have 8- provided my order processes.

143
Well, a week later and I redid my Imperial Commandos to get ready to start taking pics of chapter one for 'Imperial Commando: Payback', my own little PN that hopefully will be good to go by mid-Sept or early Oct. These commandos will be the ones in the PN. I've got the ex-Jedi's Wookie bodyguard done, but I'm waiting to take pics of him when I actually finish the Jedi, lol. I also have his house in the works as well as a little base camp for the Commandos. Well, enought text and now some pics:

Pvt. Emala- Private Emala is the squad's radio man. He wears a radio pack with a long rand antenna to keep in contact with their extraction Gunship and the orbiting Imperial cruiser.




Pvt. Anders- the only non-clone in Squad Epsilon, or Ep for short, is a straight up rifleman. Carrying no gear, except for the standard military pack, Anders is smart, albeit a little short-tempered.




Pvt. Rohana- Ep Squad's heavy gunner, he hefts a long-barreled Merrson 170LRB (Light Repeating Blaster) to lay down suppresive fire or lay a devasting burst of fire to take down even the toughest opponent.



Corporal Sode- Ep Squad's leader, he wears Scout Trooper armor with Stormtrooper gaunlets in full combat.Carrying only a rilfe and a mind full of important tactical information, he is a great leader and soldier.
 



Now for some in-action shots. Here's what their landscape's gonna look like in the PN:




Finally, a stylized preview shot for the PN itself:


Well, I hope you like them. LMK what you think. Thanks for looking.

Snowspeeder gear Luke Skywalker.  Make it SA, with remvable helmet, lightsaber, blaster, holster, grappling hook & the mine he uses to bring down the AT-AT.

To Sir: Would you like the moon with that?

With Love,
Justin

It wouldn't be hard. They just have to add some costume alterations and some new accesories to the VTSC Luke Pilot.

Wow! I think I'm gonna have to buy at least 20 or the E-11's...those are amazing...everything in the lineup looks great, especially the gun rack and the AK's...thanks for the pics, Spectre.

146
Thanks Brent. I've finished the four Clone Commanders I've promised, pics hopefully tomorrow.

Yeah, that Xacto knife came down full-force on my knee, and cut it open down to the fat layer...it didn't hurt that much because I think I sliced clean through my nerves, lol.

147
This is a great dio, the metal accents really set if off.

P.S. PM sent.

Bearing in mind Nick that the Speederbike is a BIT oversized actually.  The seat is pretty narrow on the "real" one...  The legs don't spread over it much and actually it's more like a tight seated position (such as on a streetbike).  I'm thinking a new bike could be made to fit the figure well actually...  If done with some creativity.  The Scouts legs are further apart than some troopers so there's hope there (should they redo the bike).

On the current bike...  It's definitely an awkward sight.  Especially the way his feet can't reach the pedals.


I'm sure a Dremel and some epoxy or sculpting stuff to smooth it out would fix that.

149
wow...these are really great...have you got any tips on weathering...your amazing at it...but every time i try it it comes out all blotchy and weird looking


Thanks man. All I do is just use a wash first. It takes a little while to get the right consistency of the wash fluid. Then, I just drybrush in a tan to kind of get a dried mud look to his boots and hands mainly.

Well, one trip to the ER and 4 stitches later (those damn Xactos), here is a Clone Commander I put together.

He's going to be the first in a small series of Ep 3 Clone Commanders that I'll be working on. Not a lot, probably five...

The 67th Reconnaissance Corps specializes in, well, what its name declares- recon. Usually sent ahead of a full-scale attack, they probe the enemy's lines to find weak spots, and occasionaly destroy a supply depot as well. Lightly armored, with a minimal amount of gear, the specially trained clone soldiers rely on thier wits, personal strength, and their trusty DC-15S to get their job done.

Clone Marshall Commander Manten, a calm, quiet, and excellent leader, he is starting to show streaks of gray hair along his temples due to years of stressful combat situations and the clone's accelerated aging genome.

The helmet isn't hollowed out, but rather interchangeable with Cody's neckpost:





Well, I hope you like him. LMK what you think. Thanks for looking.

I'm not sure how you add knee joints to these guys with the style of pants...you're porbably better off just switching out the legs with another Imperial legs...maybe DSG's legs or ATAT Driver upper with DSG lower...
