If you want to play 15mm Star Wars, you may need some droids. I found a B2 Super Battle Droid figure suitable for 15mm Star Wars. Firstly you need Risk: Star Wars; The Clone Wars Edition.

Then take some of droid markers.

Nice find! I wonder how hard it is to get Star Wars Risk?

Looks like not that much on ebay:

I know if you are from US you can buy these markers from Hasbro without buying the game... But if from other country (like I am) you need to either buy the game or find someone on the net to trade markers with you :( That the price for scratchbuilding :( :( :(

Very nice, tough you might want to re pose some of the arms perhaps?

In case anyone is interested, I bought a set of 40 black droids from this fella a few days ago.  The blue ones are still available:

Shipping from UK to Texas ended up being £2.50, instead of what showed up on screen.  But you have to ask ahead.

Hope this helps someone.
