Troopers

Like any armed force, Troopers are the core of the Dominion Military. Armed with advanced plasma weapons, equipped with the latest ultimium-composite body armour, and exhibiting high physical and mental fitness, they are renowned as the best soldiers in the local star system. This is a point of pride for the Dominion, and has gone as far to require all school-leavers to complete one year of military service as Trooper recruits, before they retrieve their citizenship.

Troopers are divided into three categories: Defenders, Specialists and Tacticians. Defenders are the basic Troopers called on for all frontline duties, and are typically equipped with Vindicator rifles. Specialists are equipped with advanced equipment and weaponry, such as Avenger rocket launchers or Seeker rifles, that are employed against specific targets. Tacticians are lightly armed, but have sophisticated communications and tracking equipment that allows them to co-ordinate multiple teams of Troopers simultaneously during missions.

For those interested, the Brickforge part breakdown per minifig is:

1x SM Armour (modified)
2x Ammo Pouch
2x Rounded Pauldrons
1x Neck Armour (modified)
1x Military Helmet
Also, one Trooper has a modified Backpack. Each minifig also has half of a Brickarms U-clip for attaching weapons.

As I say on flickr: hell yes! Now some dio, or maybe first a special ops guy or something, with black and red armour, and an even bigger gun. That would be Shocked

Awesome! I love the HUD and antenna on the Tactician. Those modified BA Rifles are great, too.

I dig it. And like every other amazing picture you make, the editing is amazing. I'll have to take note on parts of this. Especially, the angled grid, that is total heart.

Wow, these look amazing, as always your painting amazes me Smile

. I see we took some inspiration from Starship Trooper for the citizenship part, hmmm?
If you don't know what I'm talking about, in Starship Troopers, if you wanted to become a citizen you could either go through about a 20 year process of paperwork and filing OR join the military to get instant citizenship.
