I highly recommend kit bashing the hell out of these and doing custom paint jobs for arcs. I had a few phase 1 helmets laying around and made Captian Fordo’s squad from the original 2003 clone wars show
The reason for so many heads is so you can have them all phase 1 or all phase 2. Phase 1 ARC Troopers might look like they are Phase 2 but they have fins are their heads where the actual Phase 2 do not.
Surprised they didn’t include original phase 1 helmets along with the phase 1.5& phase 2 ones. Then again they may be saving them for a munnilist 10 special pack.
@@redenginner I feel they may not have included the original Phase 1 design because it is from Legends material. I would’ve loved if they had, although I’m sure you can find alternatives online
@@redenginner “one being the Phase I ARC Trooper Armor used during the initial days of the Clone Wars as a template of Phase II clone trooper armor with additional equipment and characteristics” direct quote from wookiepedia on ARC trooper armor if you are referring to Fordo in 2003 series that isn’t canon and the alpha ARC troopers aren’t canon either so canon ARC troopers have what has been deemed phase 1.5 since they have the fin but the style of the phase 2 helmets
Little disappointed that they put all those heads in but only 3 jetpack. Was hoping to have all the models with jetpack, or do a 5 man unit with them and give one to Rex
I recommend using 2MM magnets inside the miniature bodies and imbedded into the backpacks or jet packs allowing you to swap them between ground troops and jet pack troopers. I did this with my Phase II mortar so I can add it to the clone's back or not and I really like that option. I have not done this with Jet Packs or backpacks but I assure you, it is comming.
I don’t play this game, and I don’t know anyone who does, but I love building minis and I love clone wars so I’m definitely going to pick up a couple of clone units.
Fives in a arc trooper squad and echo in a strike team will be awesome and it's cool that you can run that straight out of the box seeing as there's enough minis!
I just bought the clone wars legion box. I got into Warhammer last year and legion looks like a fun game to pick up + the new hard plastic minis look much better than the old ones. I am excited to paint them :)
If you have enough minis you can always mix and match for flying models, swapping out the crouching minis in one for the flying minis in another. I'll expect the saboteurs will come in the republic commando boxes, if/when they make them.
I've already been going crazy getting into this game, but these... these are must haves. I am really looking forward to who else they'll include, but those I would really like to have included from Clone Wars: The Bad Batch with a possible alternate version of Echo. Others that i think would be cool additions, but POSSIBLY as "Neutral" expansions: Ahsoka Wolf Yularin Tarkin These would have to follow something similar to C-3PO and R2-D2 because you can use them in either Republic or Rebels. All three of these individuals have survived the transition from Republic to Empire. But then again each would need a younger version and older/adult version. Ahsoka being available for both Republic and Rebels. Wolf and Tarkin for Republic and Empire. That'd be nice as "Neutral" packs, but I guess they can be just for individual factions since they would most likely need alternate figures to match each one. Well... either way. Still cool.
I received my pre-order for ARC Troopers from my LGS yesterday and I'm planning to assemble them and maybe paint them this weekend. I decided to get 3 right away because stores are raising their prices of FFG products, even older products, and I got mine for the cheaper pre-order price. I want to try a 3 ARC Trooper army build and see how well they work. I hope that @Crabbok does an ARC Trooper batrep video soon. Unfortunately, the Commando Droids haven't arrived yet, which seems strange since they were released at the same time. Side note: Other FFG Star Wars products were re-stocked at my LGS, including the Imperial Light Cruiser expansion... but the store hiked the price to $40! That's crazy! I've never seen a retail store resort to such shameless profiteering before. Fortunately, I already own 5 Arqs, which I bought for the MSRP, so I'm not going to get ripped off. But I wonder if other stores are receiving ILC restocks and if they're hiking the prices too?
I wouldn’t experiment with them until they are more plentiful but I wonder if you can put his feet in warm water and make the legs pliable enough to bend the feet up or down to make ones that are meant to be on the ground look like they are meant to be flying
Just got done building my set of ARC troopers! They are super sweet, but I fear for their survivability in-game. I feel like they should have surge to defense or reliable because as it stands they are only as durable as phase 1s (assuming the attacker doesn't have pierce, which most things don't). I guess I just don't value impervious that much on a trooper unit.
I absolutely love the look of them and I know they’re focusing on the tv series but kinda wish they came with phase 1 helmets to make them look like the null class arcs.
Sucks there are so little jet packs I really wanted to make a unit of phase 2 jetpack clones and paint them with a hawk styalized the same as the wolf on the wolf pack.
Now i need to figure out if Fives will work better in P1/P2 unit or in a ARC unit. If you put Fives and Echo in a P1/P2 unit would it be worth it to run a full unit of ARCs with the DC15? got a lot of experimentin to do...
"I have a hard time painting eyeballs, thats why I put helmets on all my clones" 🤣😂 This is the exact reason why my clones took the Mandalorian oath aswell hahah never shall anyone see their face.......because they'll have no eyeballs!!!
I've learned my lesson over the years, avoid any game that requires you to assemble miniatures like the plague. Probably a good thing that they don't come assembled and painted. Doubt I could find the money for another game.

I love that they’re including so many customization options even if it’s just extra heads.
instablaster
“If you can get three boxes” Crabs I can’t even get one box 😔
Yes the arc and the bx are already out of stock
I was lucky to grab 3 before being sold out
I got 3 boxes, but I think I got ripped off by my FLGS. I just noticed I paid $5 more than retail for each box
@@5torm159 id take it up with the owner.
Yeah I guess a bunch had water damage or something - so while some stores got plenty - others got few or none.
Echo should have COORDINATE instead of Fives because he like repeats orders.
LMAAOOO facts!
Dude. Echo and five's are the only surving members of domino squad to become arcs.
The reason for so many heads is so you can have them all phase 1 or all phase 2. Phase 1 ARC Troopers might look like they are Phase 2 but they have fins are their heads where the actual Phase 2 do not.

@@redenginner arc troopers original “phase 1” helmets were the phase 2 helmets with fins
Jacob Perkins No they where not. Phase 1 arc trooper helmets are normal clone helmets with a paintscheme. Look at Alpha 17&Fordo

Yes, finally!!!! Hello from New Zealand 🇳🇿 !!!
Pre-ordered mine, hopefully they aren't delayed. Clones are getting some heat!!
I'm soo excited mine shipped out yesterday!!
Little disappointed that they put all those heads in but only 3 jetpack. Was hoping to have all the models with jetpack, or do a 5 man unit with them and give one to Rex
Gotta love the design.. Legion looking better each time they release something new.
I don’t know that I’ve looked forward to something in legion more than these. They look incredible! Going to my game store today!

Looks cool. Can’t wait to get mine assembled
Cant believe these sold out so quick I'm just happy I got one
Still waiting to see if my FLGS gets theirs
@@johnnyjdizzle66 well hopefully they do
Loving that. STARC Troopers. Been spending the past week magnetizing mine so least they can be altered
Ugh I soo can't wait to get them in and paint them! I might do the Rancor Battalion!
Man you are making me want to get into legion. I can’t start on a second miniature game, when I just started on Armada.
I just bought the clone wars legion box. I got into Warhammer last year and legion looks like a fun game to pick up + the new hard plastic minis look much better than the old ones. I am excited to paint them :)
@@WoofyMcDoodle I actually bought into legion in October of 2021. I have been having a blast paint everything.
I love that they added echo!!!
They work super well with Rex because, as you know, they're part of Rex's preferred retinue of troopers.
Always loved the ARC troopers, can’t wait to try them out!
I can’t wait to get my hands on mine
Just got Mine today, Im soooo excited!!!!
I just found out about Legion and low and behold I found your channel haha great unboxing about an amazing unit

I'll expect the saboteurs will come in the republic commando boxes, if/when they make them.
Triple ARCs is the way to go!!!
This is one of my favourite expansions yet
Can't wait to get mine, if they come.
CANT WAIT FOR MINE!
I've already been going crazy getting into this game, but these... these are must haves. I am really looking forward to who else they'll include, but those I would really like to have included from Clone Wars: The Bad Batch with a possible alternate version of Echo.

ARCs finally!!!
Sucks there are so little jet packs I really wanted to make a unit of phase 2 jetpack clones and paint them with a hawk styalized the same as the wolf on the wolf pack.
The application to normal clone units will be fantastic the clones are really gaining in that synergy element
Should I get the phase 2 clones or these arc troopers?
cant wait to see these boys in a battle report
Fine..., you have officially convinced me to buy them.
Greetings from my wallet.
Keep up the great videos!
Now i need to figure out if Fives will work better in P1/P2 unit or in a ARC unit. If you put Fives and Echo in a P1/P2 unit would it be worth it to run a full unit of ARCs with the DC15? got a lot of experimentin to do...
I'm glad I got 3.
😭 my local game store didn't get them in yesterday. I might have to wait until Tuesday.
Man these are going to sell like hot cakes. I hope they made a lot of them
Aw man my set has two of the same sprues. That's really disappointing since I can't get part replacements.
Great video! Keep up the good work.
"I have a hard time painting eyeballs, thats why I put helmets on all my clones" 🤣😂
This is the exact reason why my clones took the Mandalorian oath aswell hahah never shall anyone see their face.......because they'll have no eyeballs!!!
Kind of disappointing to see they didn't gIve you options to make the squad completely flying or completely on the ground. Still great models though!
Wish they came with 8 minis to be able to make all heavy weapons and and the full unit and the strike team
Rex: well done, trooper
Trooper: that's not my name
Rex: what is your name?
Trooper: *plays Back In Black* The truth is, I am StarkTrooper
Just finished the clone wars, i am craving for moreeee
they look as good as the bx droids, just wish we could actually buy them
nice models
Can you glue one of the jetpacks to rex?
Crab do you now when they will come to Italy?
I ve got a box
Shocked there no surge defense
No surge hits
No surge crits
Might do the arc leader or Rex as fordo
Still waiting for mine to turn up :(
I was lucky enough to find one of these at my lfgs
How about "Ark Patriots" for name? They do defend the republic.
ark troopers are awsome
“St-Arc Troopers” great name
Long have i waited xD
I really want to buy some Merch but can’t at the moment so the give away would be very exciting as I would be able to buy the merch!!!
This is dope
Why no Phase I helmets!?!? 😭
Love ark troopers. Might have to get legion clone wars stuff. My favorite time in star wars
Fives is very very good.
"....not so much on the other guys in Domino squad, they didnt get mentioned as much."
Well..... they died, soooooo 🤷♂️
Are they only P2 Arcs?????
Waiting for commander Cody....
Love the inclusion of named characters in this
How we gonna paint these? Lol
I feel like they are too strong and hope this doesnt make clones op
Cool
I thought fives was gunna role 5 dice?
Yeah, I remember them saying that too, guess they changed him up.
@@garethholman1050 bit sad i was looking forward to that, he would like a z-6
