Star Wars Basilisk is Warhammer 40K

that was for the PS2 version of force unleashed if I remember correctly. Best part is thats not even a remote attack droid or anything, Mandalorians RIDE those things.

>>44405567
I actually bought the PS2 version, seriously why isn't this already canon. We need some decent Mando lore and if Basilisk aren't in it I shall shed a single manly tear.

they existed in the EU as far back as the old republic. You can ask Canderous in KotoR, for some war stories and he describes riding one into battle. Sad they weren't mentioned more

>>44405685
Which Mandalore is that? Indomitable or Ultimate

>>44405702
The Indomitable in the pic. and I meant to say they didn't show up more in the stories as far as I know, there were some nice descriptions of them. Its got intillegence close to, but above a warbeast, and gets used to its rider, so it can develop habits and learn to anticipate their orders and what they might do.

Heres one of Mando The Ultimate

>>44405717
So it is an intelligent mount with a machine gun face. Why are Mandos so fucking crazy awesome

>>44405733
The Mando didn't actually create them, another race called the Basilikans did. After the mando conquered them they left the ruined world and took the droids.

>>44405805
So typical Mando behavior

>>44405810
Mando a good boy. He dindu nuffin.

>>44405810
Pretty much.

I've thought long and hard.

For every Mando that believes in the honor code there are 3 that would stab you in the back for 5 bucks.

And 5 more that would do it just for fun

So, um... What is still canon about Mandos. We know about Death Watch and apparently something called the Siege of Mandalore

Well, this thread seems to be an accurate representation about all we still know about Mandos.

>>44405939
No clue. Only time Mandos were ever fleshed out was in the EU and the Old Republic

>>44406051
And the CW.

Well we can start with the obvious stuff that should still be the same. They all wear the armor, speak the language, love war and battle, and are expected to gather and follow Mandalore when someone rises to the rank and calls.

>>44405939
>What is still canon about Mandos.
Ren's lighsaber is relic from Mandalorian Wars, so probably main parts of their history is canon.

>>44405482
>uses drop pod rules and can shoot other flying units on the way down, can also CC

Would you ever field anything else?

>>44405482

>anything cool in sci-fi is automatically 40K and therefore official GW property.

Well, it is a giant animalistic robot monster that has a mouth that's nothing but guns and big gigantic arms with a little floppy butt.

It basically looks like these two had a baby and then someone was dumb enough to try to ride it.

>>44409340

>anything related to animal robots is automatically derived from 40K.

I bet you think that LotR is a cheap derivative of Warhammer Fantasy.

>>44405482
>This looks like something straight out of 40K
How so?, I mean ok, basilisk appeared before chaos had that kind of mechanic monsters.

>>44409414

And I said I wanted one, dumb.

>>44409414
Warhammer came before LotR so yes.

Warhammer Fantasy debuted in 1986. The Fellowship of the Ring movie came out in 2001. Math checks out.

You actually ride one in KOTOR 2

You heard it here, folks, 40K invented red and gold.

The Visual Dictionary has this to say about his lightsaber:

The Mandalorian Wars aren't named, it's design dates from the same period as the Great Scourge of Malachor. Whether this Great Scourge is going to be the same as or even similar to the Battle of Malachor V is yet to be determined, but given that they changed so much more of galactic history, it's unlikely.

Illustrated Guide to the movies. Though the saber isn't actually a relic from there, but rather patterned after a design of 'the Scourge of Malachor V' that Kylo had to use after fucking up the first time and cracking the crystal. The second blades are basically just vents so that the fucking thing doesn't explode.

Cool, thanks, Anons.

I actually kind of like the new lightsaber design. It's interesting.

>>44410401

Well the color Ultramarine came from the Space Marine Chapter, so in a way they do own colors.

>>44410627
The word Ultramarine literally means across the sea because that's where it came from. It's been around since the 14th century you dunce. What? Couldn't spend 15 seconds in Google to see that before spouting off the top of your head?

The chapter is named after the color, not the other way around.

>>44410936

>doesn't know that Games Workshop literally came up with the idea of skulls.

>>44410627
The word ultramarine (ultramarino) for color exists in my country since at least a hundred years ago, so I guess you're wrong.

This is like that famous screencap with a dude saying LotR copied Harry Potter, isn't it?

>>44410445
It just Says "The Scourge of Malachor." But the Five is heavily implied.


>>44410419
The same book has Rakata Prime show up in the map.

I would honestly be ecstatic if they followed up the current trilogy with an old republic trilogy based loosely on the comic series.

Then I would have motivation to make a mandalore the ultimate cosplay once i finish getting /fit/

>>44410352
No you can't, it's entire appearance is just a single cutscene. And it doesn't even look like how they're originally described.

That's Prince Xizor's Virago, not a basilisk. And those starships are from the time of Empire Strikes Back.

>>44414339
It's said to be a Basalisk in the game, but reason it looks like that is because the designers thought the rideable droids were stupid so they made a new design modeled off the Virago.

>someone was dumb enough to try to ride it.
