Mandalorians (Star Wars) vs Sardaukar (Dune)

With Dune getting a lot of attention over the past few months thanks to the newest movie (And the Dune event in War Thunder) I thought I'd do a remake of a thread made by an old friend of mine. That thread was Mandalorians vs Sardaukar, I will admit the thread was good but I feel like I'd remake it and make it a little more even and interesting.

P.S. if their is anyone I didn't tag I apologies.

Beskar armor is a pretty big game changer here

@warlockmage: the Laspistols from the game Emperor: Battle for Dune are also pretty OP, granted their no where near as powerful as the Lasguns from the novels but their still rather deadly.

Bump

yeah but they are energy weapons and they aren't stronger than a Lightsaber... so they aren't gonna get through the beskar armor certainly not very easily.

Its a big deal when most of your infantry's weapons are not getting through the other infantry's armor

@warlockmage said:

The Laspistols in Emperor: Battle for Dune are still capable of doing damage to light vehicles, again not anywhere near as OP as Novel Lasguns (Which are capable of cutting down an entire forest by swinging it side ways, capable of cutting AT-AT sized machines in two, implied to cut through any known substance that isn't shielded and also capable of punching straight through a door that would take 20 minutes to open any other way) but still pretty powerful, not saying they'd go straight through Beskar armor but they'd still be a big enough threat for the Mandalorians to be careful.

I'm voting Dune. Besides, the -84 movie sound weapons will make goo of anything they encounter

@cergic said:

The Weirding Module (The 1984 movie sound weapons your referring to) were not used by the Sardaukar and are not present here.

Mandalorians easy. Sradaukar weapons cannot pass through their armor or deal any damage to them. On the other hand, without their shields, they can kill them easily, and even with their shields the problem is not that they are OP, it is that if you shoot certain things at them they cause atomic explosions.

@nicov said:

Certain Sardaukar also seem to have decent durability like this Sardaukar from the 1984 movie here (Took a hit from an energy weapon and still pushed aside Atreides soldiers):

And as I said some Sardaukar are equipped with Laspistols from the game Emperor: Battle for Dune, there no where near as powerful as Novel Lasguns but they're still capable of damaging vehicles (Not so much heavy vehicles).

@rhubarb Opinion?

@jwwprod:

Crap, i had a huge brainfart when i read the thread, and thought Fremen.

@jwwprod:

Thanks for tagging me, i miss these kinds of battles!

I think they're roughly even though the Sardaukar do have more numbers here. Typically at range i favour Dune over starwars due to lasguns, the same is pretty true here. In close quarters the Sardaukar's superior fighting prowess should be roughly matched by competent use of the mandalorians gadgets, but this is never a guarantee. So i'm leaning Sardaukar here overall in a tough fight.

Side note: this is pretty much the reverse of what i thought in the previous version of this thread lol.

@rhubarb said:

Your welcome and thanks for appreciating these threads :)

I should point out that the Lasguns in this threads (Which are the Laspistols from the game Emperor: Battle for Dune) aren't any where near as powerful as the Lasguns from the novels but they're still pretty potent.

My friend's Mandalorians vs Sardaukar thread was good, the problem was that I felt like the Basilisk war droids for the Mandalorians made things a little too unfair, so I thought I'd remake it because of not only the new Dune movie but I also always liked the idea of Mandalorians vs Sardaukar, two elite armies from two different sci-fi franchises going at it!

@masterofmatches

@jwwprod: Oh man you made this?!

AS for the battle. I think I'd have to side with Sardaukar, I think their training and weaponry is enough to bust through most of the mando's armor over time and only the Neo Crusaders are super elite. The rest although fairly well trained, didn't do well against the Clones at all and vaguely put up a fight that lasted only the course of a few days to a week tops. I think the biggest thing hindering the Sardaukar is that even if they strike first they may not get the kill right away. Are the leaders for both sides fighting though, I swore I double checked the rules, but didn't see it

Great match though with great music :)

Thanks :)

Bump

lol mandos in a stomp

If the Mandalorians are as good with a knife as Duncan Idaho, they win. 😁

Sardaukar are much better trained. Mandalorians are cool looking but Sardaukar have one of the most brutal training regiments in all of fiction. Even without shields, they stomp the Mandalorians with ease.

Okay this is going to be a pretty long and bloody battle by the army sizes alone. However with 1.15 million mandalorians vs only 300k DW, the mandalorians should score a pretty decisive victory, especially with Boba leading them vs just Pre and Bo. The 2.2k DW tanks would give DW some firepower, especially since its unclear which side controls the other vehicles (besides the specific neo-crusader ones), but they would still go down quickly under the many mando missiles. I doubt the neo-crusaders would favour either side, so they would probably focus on other things

I don't know anything about Dune so can't answer the actual OT, but seeing DW and regular mandos on the same team with no rules preventing infighting made this all too tempting lol
