The Thin Beige Line
B1 ‘Ecco Squad’
Within the ranks of the Droids, Blue is used to denote engineers and pilots. As this unit will have blue markings, I’ve decided I will field them in close proximity to my AAT Tank (more on this later), in order to relay orders to the OOM Tank commander.
Though it doesn’t contain any specialist unit upgrades at the moment, this will be the first of two units who have the option of fielding either the E-5C or the E-60R.
The E-60R is a pretty powerful weapon for the droids, sporting three black dice at range four and adding Impact 2 to the attack. It’s main drawback is that the card needs to be readied after use, making it challenging for the unit to aim or reposition itself as well as fire. It can also lead to problems if your AI programming kicks in and the weapon is waiting to be readied.
However the E-60R is the B1’s most powerful anti armour weapon and will serve as strong deterrent to enemy vehicles.
The markings for this unit were done with Caledor Sky from GW’s base range.
