Here are 2 more members of my Imperial Special Fire Team:

The Imperial military does not just rely on Stormtrooper infantry to win a battle. Often Special Fire Teams are deployed to soften up enemy fortifications from a distance prior to or during an infantry push. Typically consisting of a sniper, heavy gunners, anti-armor (usually a high-powered blaster "bazooka"), ion cannon anti-vehicle, and demolitions (usually a proton grenade launcer) troopers as well as a target spotter and at least one trooper to watch the position's rear, Special Fire Teams are usually required to spend more time away from their base and must carry their supplies with them on their backs and their utility belts.


Ion Cannon Trooper
Man-portable anti-vehicle ion weaponry was not in wide use until a few years after the end of the Galactic Civil War. Now, even small units could defend themselves against mechanized attackers. The M.A.R.S. "Blackout" shoulder-fired ion cannon is capable of knocking out the power on virtually all classes of small vehicles with a single well placed hit. Low flying airspeeders can be removed from the fight with one or two hits. Larger, more heavily shielded vehicles require multiple successful hits in order to do more than impede their progress on the battlefield. The onboard repulsor allows any standard-sized humanoid to carry and even weild the unit with one arm, although it is not recommended to fire the unit this way as the recoil requires a second hand to steady the unit to insure a successful hit.










Parts:
Body- TAC "Tantive IV Capture" Stormtrooper
Backpack- POTF2 Snowtrooper
Pouches- BBI
Ion cannon- G.I. Joe H.E.A.T.-Viper v1 (modded)
Blaster- Marauder Gun-Runners "Modified" Sterling Machine Gun


Quad Gunner
Utilizing a modern version of the much revered Clone Wars-era portable quad cannon, these Imperial Stormtroopers make short work of infantry, armor, and fortifications. The new man-portable quad cannon has a much faster rate of fire and a higher energy output than it's 40-year old predecessor. The quad cannon's harness posesses the weapons fusion power core and a repulsor unit to allow the wearer to move unhindered by the unit's substantial weight.











Weapon stowed in rest position:


Parts:
Body- TAC "Tantive IV Capture" Stormtrooper
Harness/quad cannon- custom
Pouches- G.I. Joe Snake Eyes v1

The custom harness has 6 points of articulation (top hinge, "elbow" x2, each side of base of cannon, handle grip x2) and took almost 4 hours to engineer and construct!
