Plus, I will always trust Brads research over some random unhappy senete guard fanboy.
Two things here.
First, I get that this is a close-nit community of more serious and competitive Starwars minis players. And you want to trust your buddy Brad because he's Brad! and I'm just some random other person. fine. Way to welcome newer members. *golfclap*
I mean try being a little open minded. Does "I believe Brad because he is Brad! and all who disagree are wrong by default." sound right to you? At least put some kind of counterpoint to the support I gave for my opinion.
Second; Fanboy? Do ya realize this is a site for fanboys of a game designed for fanboys of StarWars? So what part of "senete guard fanboy" do you intend to be offensive? I am assuming everybody here is some denomonation StarWars fanboy after all right? Don't be hating on my Senate Commandos.

The Mandolorians are the worst faction in the game right now, and your going to complain over a unique idea that they get. So what you what the Mando's to copy off of every other faction and have no direction of their own? I'd much rather the Mando's get some new and unique ideas of their own, which they did.
I keep hearing that but I am not seeing it. especially with these virtual sets. What
don't mandalorians have? every level of non-unique shooter from cheap cannon fodder to serious commando types half of which have cloaked. They have commanders to grant them; evade, mobile, twin, attack boosting, boxcar gum which is Dark armor but better, Accurate Shot, Big jedi, ways to hose jedi, Traps. They jack abilities from Mon Mothma, wicket, Elite Rebel Commandos and Imperial Knights now. I mean the only thing I can think of that they lack is Thrawn Swap and something crazy like Lancer Droids. And for that I say "just give it time." You guys will give them swapping at some point I have little doubt. I can only assume this new take on the Basilisk War Droid will turn out pretty Lancery.

The funny thing is, I was zeroing in on the words "home guard" which is precisely what the Senate Commandos are...
Actually that would be these guys
Senate Guards/Commandos literally
are bodyguards for the Senate. Nobody except maybe the Emperor's Royal Guards are more bodyguardy than them. And that's debatable since they don't actually have the ability "Bodyguard". If you are going to add some cool ability related to bodyguard to the game it seems only logical that
the bodyguards should get it. Right?
You want to give Mandalorians some unique theme? Fine. But I would suggest making it one that actually
fits Mandalorian ideals. I mean they have been raiding and brutalizing the galaxy for Millennia for no other reason than because they like it.
At their very highest point they were honest mercenaries.
Only mandalorians that I could see having bodyguard are the guards who follow around Duchess Satine in her clone wars episodes.
But I get the impression that we won't be seeing much of them. The mandalorian fanboys didn't seem to take kindly to pacifist Mandalorians.
