Storming the Outpost *Updated

On the dirtied snow of the Hoth Battlefield, a small group of rebels are swarmed by Imperial Forces, led by the lethal Darth Vader . Will they be able to survive until reinforcements arrive?!

Well, probably not...

Heavily inspired by Marshal Banana's Battle of Hoth

Entry for Rubbahband's 'The Empire Strikes Back!' contest.

When I saw the title in the recently posted I thought it was Storming the Outhouse.

This is pretty cool, Phaze. Luck in the contest.

Wow Phazers for the frakking win. I'm geek out for a second and then get to the real comments.

Ok it's a jammed up into one place and I don't like the motor cycle helmets but still very nice.

Yeah, I would've loved to have expanded it about 4 more studs on each side, but I ran out of white.
That was the same kinda deal with the helmets, too.

You know, that AT-RT looking thing looks familiar....


Good Job, nice texture, but are you at a lack of Snowtrooers?

Oh yeah (Down to 2, I think), and I wanted to try something different.

This is a very nice moc.

If you start running out of snowtroopers, you can get them for like $2.50 off eBay, blaster and all. That how I get all my snowtroopers.

EDIT: Never mind, I just won one for $2.25.

I really like the ground you made on this one and the turret and walker is really neat!

The whole thing looks wonderful!

Yeah, but when you don't have money it becomes... problematic.

The walker I think is an epic win, so is the terrain, the AT-RT pilot isn't the best though, and if you need to get snowtroopers, just buy TLC's battle pack of them.

Then why is there only one Snowtrooper here? Cause the Imperial figures aren't all that great.

Anyways, well done on the terrain, you really captured that Hoth feeling. All the trans pieces look like ice.
But, unless it's a Wampa cave, the skeleton looks out of place. I can't tell you how much I like this and OMG is that a Chrome Vader?

If you paid attention to the ongoing contests you would know. A very nice entry indeed it is.

I believe I forgot to place him in, or I didn't find him until after I photographed.

and the trans pieces are meant to represent ice...

because it's Hoth <_<.

Thanks for the great comments, everyone!

Is that a chrome Vader?

I think so, considering the helmet is so shiney.

Good luck, Phaze!

Love the MOC. The Chrome Vader is a nice addition. I have one too.

Updated with some fixed problems some of you had with the Moc. I still wish I had more white slopes to add to it, but I'm happy enough with the results.

Nice improvement, Phaze, but the snow seems kinda random and blocky, although if you don't have curved slopes that's ok. Snow's supposed to be kinda flowing little hills, with rocks interrupting them now and then.

I like the update, but why does that one rebel not have a weapon?

It's a jedi, he's just thrown his weapon. (You can see his lightsaber heading towards Vader)

The Jedi were extinct during the time the rebels were stationed on Hoth. How could there be a Jedi there?

It's called imagination. The Clone Wars wasn't full of sharpied clones, but you don't see people complain about that.
