Dark Fire Preview New Gunslinging Characters [Spoilers]
November 3, 2020 by brennon
SPOILERS BELOW FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T SEEN EPISODE ONE OF THE MANDALORIAN SEASON TWO
Right, with that out of the way it's time to show off what Dark Fire Designs have been working on for their collection of miniatures for a galaxy far, far away. We start with a new miniature for their Bounty Hunter.
The Mando // Dark Fire Designs
The miniatures that you see here are available as 3D Printable files from their webstore linked above but they can also be purchased as physical miniatures down the line from both Proteus 3D in the UK and Perikles in the EU. The US also has a physical model store with Gootzy Gaming.
This new version of The Mando comes with an array of different weapon options and certainly looks the part as an updated main character to throw into your games. I am sure that there are already many, many people who have come up with rules for using him in Star Wars: Legion.
The Sheriff & His Foe [Spoilers]
As well as The Mando above, the team at Dark Fire Designs have also been working on a new character from the first episode of the new series. Here we have The Sheriff.
The Sheriff // Dark Fire Designs
The Sheriff here is shown in his "borrowed" armour that has helped him defend the town. He, again, comes with a range of different weapon options and also options to have him with or without his helmet depending on what you prefer.
The Sheriff // Dark Fire Designs
He certainly looks the part and would make for a good stand-in during your games. I could see a few people wanting to pick up this character to use as their roleplaying anti-hero too! But, if you're going to introduce The Sheriff into your games then how about this monstrous Sand Dragon too?
Sand Dragon // Dark Fire Designs
Yes, this is to scale and yes it is going to be too big for many a 3D Printer. I would imagine you'll have to cut this bad boy up in order to use it properly! If you're looking for some seriously thematic options for your Sci-Fi tabletop games then Dark Fire appears to be quick on the trigger.
Maybe we'll still see official miniatures for a lot of this collection but in the meantime, this is a rather fun range to explore!
Are you tempted by these new 3D Printable miniatures?

Ok, how on earth will The Big Mouse let this be? Come on, this isn’t only “inspired by”. That is The Marshal, The Mandalorian (they even call him The Mando) and the dead dragon. I don’t wish anyone a bad thing but this is venturing into IP theft. If I were able to create such minis I wouldn’t dare to put them online let alone sell them. That’s begging for a c&d letter. :S
Or is there any legal loophole that allows that to be legal?
Ooh just as well I’ve seen the show then, very nice is the sand dragon really that big compared to the mando?.
Yes, it is really that big.
Ooh nice one Ben.
Those look really good but I can see Mouse going after them.
I see the mouse wearing a black hood setting the wheels in motion…
Wooooow the sand dragon!!!!!??????
This is not the way…
I like the sculpts a lot.
BTW – Disney is very laid back when it comes to Stars Wars IP violations. You can even post pics of backmarket minis on the FFG forum!

Mels Minis produced X Wing models for years and offered them via Shapeways, same for all the other 3D scultors.
Same goes for Dark Fire designs, I have a lot of their minis, worth getting!
Bit of IP infringement going on here. That aside the renders are pretty impressive.
