:-* :-* lovely start!
Good start!
Not sure if it's an artefact of the photo, or clever painting on your part (maybe both?;) ), but I love how glowy Vader's sabre is!
Very cool! Looks like a nice force so far. That price doesn't sound so bad. It's a game that's been out of production for something like twenty years, and there's some movie coming out that might be driving prices.
these look great, SWMB is a highly underrated ruleset. I've set myself the task of repainting my lot plus the extra bits I've picked up on ebay over the years. BTY the 25mm range from GZG are a great match to the WEG 25mm, really useful if you want to add a few squads of generic troops
I like the paint schemes on the stormtroopers, the black breaks up all the white.
Han Solo looks awesome!
Thanks for the Denizen tip, hadn't come across those before, they even have an Arthur Dent...
Nice little project you've got on the go there
Is it possible to have a small Star Wars project?
cool work indeed!!! wellcome to the dark side and happy miniature hunting!!! ;) Keep posting!!!
Those look nice. The changes certainly aren't drastic. If anything I think it's closer to what was originally intended by the costumer.
Awesome painting! Those sculpts of Han and Luke have always been favorites of mine. Your collection of painted stormtroopers is pretty damn impressive as well.
Very nice! :D I love quite a few of these from back in the day, I'd like to start them again.
ST Miniatures Battles is a great ruleset, I have the Rulebook and (the?) Rules Companion.
there is a copy currently on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Star-Wars-miniatures-battles-Imperial-Entanglements-West-End-Games-/221778438714?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item33a3066a3a
That's a great idea!
Good Conversions. I look forward to seeing them with some paint.
I always thought the two Sith restriction was a pain too. Then they started adding Dark-Siders like Asajj Ventress and General Grievous to the mix and I figured the gloves where off. Besides, in the Tales of the Old Republic there was an entire Sith Empire to choose from.
Was Greivous a force user? I only though he was just a Kaleesh adept skilled with a Lightsaber. Aye Ventress though is where I first thought about turned Jedi :)
That's a great idea!
I'm not sure. I'm not as up to date on my Star Wars lore as I once was. I tend to look at the Star Wars universe through WEG tinted glasses, so I figured General Greivous was a kind of Alien Student of the Force. That's based on pure speculation on my part, but that's how we all looked at Star Wars in the old days.
To paraphrase Egg from Big Trouble in Little China, "Star Wars is like a buffet. We take what we like and ignore the rest."
I like the old Jedi, reminds me of an older Anakin skywalker. He's got that funky medallion too.
have fun! I haven't played in several years... but if I remember the rebels are generally better quality troopers, with even numbers they'd have the edge. One of my favourite parts of SWMB was being able to call in an airstrike, something I always gave my imperials...
I'm looking forward to hearing how it went. I never got to play SWMB, even though I've owned the books for decades.
have you also considered using the Fubar rules and SW set for the larger games?
looking good Chico
I use the GZG 25mm ranges as various rebel/PDF/Merc outfits. Might have to add some Denizen now.

Aye I have a fair few of those too but alot of those sculpts are hit and miss and it's a real shame as I'd like to have more valid 25mm options, still looking for a good proxy of Imperial Soliders too as I'm not paying silly ebay prices for them (£4/5 each)
On a general note, game 2 of the ongoing themed campaign is next week.. spolier General Veers is coming :)
