The galaxy is a tough place, especially 4,000 years before the events of A New Hope. That was an era where the Republic, the Jedi, the Sith, and the Mandalorians frequently got into scraps with whole planets laid waste as collateral damage. One of the toughest customers from this tough era is Canderous Ordo, a big bruiser of a Mandalorian bounty hunter and merc. Gamers who've played Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic can attest that he's not all talk -- he's got the firepower to back up anything he says.

Now gamers who play the table-top Star Wars: Miniatures game from Wizards of the Coast have the opportunity to throw Canderous Ordo into the mix, as he's one of the 60 pre-painted miniatures randomly packed into their Star Wars: Legacy of the Force expansion set. The Legacy of the Force set picks from the entire Star Wars saga, including heroes and villains from the Legacy era, set more than a century after the events of A New Hope. As is evident with Canderous, it also goes into the distant past of the saga as well.

Here's a preview of Canderous' miniature, plus his character card which details his game-play statistics. Star Wars: Miniatures is a standalone game for playing table-top battles, or it can be used to enhance your Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game experiences. Or, if you just like looking at bookshelves teeming with plastic armies, they make great collectibles as well.
