Title: Clinton's Cutthroats
Post by: Takiro on September 01, 2020, 03:09:08 PM

After TtS Jardine I am doing research and thinking options with Clinton's Cutthroats. I'd love to hear your thoughts about this enigmatic group of mercenaries and discuss any relevant information. Below are the canon citations and the sarna page for the unit.

I thought this was pretty cool - the UCC (Unit Color Compendium) did a paint scheme (non-canon) for the unit as well.
