Title: My Star Wars Miniatures
Post by: ThorinXV on December 22, 2016, 08:06:48 PM
Hi guys,

I am a long time collector of West End Games Star Wars miniatures. Since some time I am collecting Star Wars miniatures from FFG (Imperial Assault) as well. Want to show you some pics of them. I would be glad to get some feedback from you.

These look great! Your style is really characterful. You know someone has done a great job when you say to yourself, gosh I really want to play some games with those figs.

Great collection.

The age difference between the FFG and WEG figs shows, but nevertheless it's all very nice!

Love your figures.
My Star War figures sit in a unpainted lead pile,
in a galaxy far, far away.

Thanks for your feedbacks. I really appreciate it :).

How well do the Imperial Assault stormtroopers scale next to other 28/30mm ranges? I always though they were a bit, but noticeably, bigger? Is that so?

I just have some miniatures from Freebooters Fate (which are 32mm) to compare. The IA miniatures are a bit smaller that the Freebooters models. But they are bigger than 28mm miniatures (LotR - range) so they should be at a proper 30mm scale. At least they are mostly same scale that the old WotC SW models.

Beautiful paintjobs and I like how you choose different style for the two ranges!  ;)

Or, you can actually feel the hot, fetid breath of the beast!

EXCELLENT!

I disagree - the breath of the dewback smells of toffee and buttered scones.  :D

Very nice paint job, if I do half as well with the one in the mail I'd be happy. Nice gleam in the eye, in particular.

Brilliant brushwork!
The contrast between the clean look of the beast and the dirty white armour is a great look.

Breathtaking quality. My unpainted WEG figs cry out in protest. My only defence is a diversion into 10mm and 20mm Star Wars ground forces!

I think that AT-PT is from DeAgnostini starshIps and vehicle collection?

Yeah, as skirmisher already wrote this on is form the DeAgostini starships and vehicles collection. It really matches well the WEG miniatures size wise. But it should also match to the scale of the WotC/FFG miniatures.

Gotta agree with everyone else - superb work.

Nice blog too - like your approach to 'dirtied up' stormtroopers.
