Compared to the soldiers of the Recon Battalions the Droptroopers are much taller and imposing, and with their heavier armour and special training give the Federal Army a cutting edge that their opponents struggle to match...
The Droptroopers are carried into combat in Falcon Dropships. These fast moving ships can drop from orbit and can carry a full squad of infantry along with a Racoon ARV.
The Droptroops are from Critical Mass Games and the dropship is a work in progress from an old Star Wars model picked up cheaply from eBay. The other side still needs painted and there is a brocken weapon that needs replacing.

These are awesome pics and an awesome toy conversion.
Thanks Eli, I must say though, that there was no need for any conversion on the dropship, just a repaint. Which reminds me, I really need to get that finished!!!
What was the name of the Star Wars toy?
Official names help a lot when looking for a particular piece on Ebay, you know!
;D
My dropship is a repainted Star Wars AST-5 Mini Rig with no conversion work done at all... well not yet. I think I may need to source landing gear. I think parts from a GW Tau gunship may suit.
Love those dropships
