AT-AR..just a modified version of the AT-ST... created apparently by the Marvel comic book series. Don't know what the point of that was... but do with it what you will. My 2cents, Iblisdrax. _________________ "Have Leman Reuss, will travel" "Hallo. My name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die!"

I just forgot to mention it. I already have it modelled! Tas: And dont forget the Tauntauns - Star Wars equiv of Rough Riders!!!

Never! We all need those smelly beasts that sound like hamsters on steroids!

Tas: Did you know that Irregular do some 6mm Hoth stuff? ?I'm sure you probably do

Yes, I have the riders and the characters set. Most of the other minis bear next to zero-resemblance to anything Star Wars.

Iblisdrax: Nothing I have mentions the AT-PT at Hoth; as a matter of fact I believe that it was phased out of the Imperial arsenal some time before...

I've saw it first in the "Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Trilogy; The Ultimate Guide To the Incredible Locations of Episodes IV, V, and VI" book. I've also seen it in other post-movie books detailing the trilogy.

Iblisdrax: - In the West End Games (WEG) supplement "Han Solo and the Corporate Sector" it is mentioned as a relation to the Espo Walker, but that most of them had been retired.

I don't own that book although I'd like to.

Iblisdrax: - In the WEG supplement "Dark Force Rising" it is mentioned that they were phased out in favour of the AT-ST.

I ALSO don't own that book although I'd ALSO like to!

Iblisdrax: - I believe that there is also mention of them being phased out in the Star Wars Dictionary... but I cannot seem to find my copy at the moment (rrr).

Another book I don't own...
? ?
Iblisdrax: *** What is an AT-AR? ?***

All-Terrain-Advanced Raider...

AT-AR is a more advanced version of the AT-ST.

Iblisdrax: - The Rebels had some E-webs also, captured from the Imperials...

I heard that, but apparently there were very few Rebel E-webs. E-webs apparently had some real drawbacks such as  long preparation and charging time.

Iblisdrax: - As well as some repeating blasters. Although it is mentioned that none of the light arms did any good against Imperial armor.

Stormtrooper armor?

Everything seems to core Stormtrooper armor!

I was curious what sort of larger small arms the Rebels used...

*** Maybe BlasTech T-21s? ***

Iblisdrax: - Don't forget the Imperial Probe Droids, and as Tas said, the Tauntauns and the mighty KDY -150 Defender Planetary Ion Cannon.

I won't. Thanks for the reminder!

Taun-tauns: Done!
(Came with the AMT/ERTL Battle of Hoth Action Scene)

Ion Cannon: Done!

Probot: Done!
