Far, far away in another Galaxy (Update 04 10)
« on: 12 September 2024, 03:33:54 PM »
So after re-watching the 'Andor' series, I got my mind set on some small skirmish gaming in said Star Wars universe. Now I wanted to avoid the Skywalkers and Jedi and concentrate on the small rebel cells trying to take down the empire. Now as an added bonus I can use all my stormtroopers from the Star Wars legion game. I'll just have to ensure any figures I use are on the same bases to match in. So starting off with a basic Rebel Cell, I just simply re-purposed some figures I had from Stargrave as they were not seeing any use. To these I picked up a boxed set of the Stargrave troopers, mainly to paint up as Corporation security, I'll think of something for the rest of the figures.

Good idea. I look forward to some interesting AARs.

Lovely stuff, scotty! I really enjoyed Andor. I smiled when I saw those Corpos.

Looking good. Any thought on what set of rules you will use?

I'm thinking of Galactic Heroes from Wiley Games

Always handy to have a few creatures available for scenarios. These 4 are Nexu, from the Imperial assault game. Picked them up second hand for around 40p each, including postage. Just gave them a quick paint job to get them table ready.

Completed another 5 Corporate security agents. These were put together from the Stargarve troopers boxed set. This brings me up to 10 which should be enough for most skirmish games. For Galactic heroes I'll probably split them into 2 teams of 5.

Definitely the way to go. Our ongoing SW campaign (also on this board) uses FFOL GH, they are ideal for these numbers of figures. :)

With a first game coming up on Thursday I'm trying to quickly get through as many figures as possible a it will be a 4 player game. So 2 bounty hunters built from the Stargrave plastics and 2 Droids that I picked up from Northstar. Will need to give them a suitable name. I'm also hoping to get 5 ground crew figures completed in time for the game

Good luck in your game! That's the same rule set we've used for our small scale skirmish in Sci-Fi (though I am thinking of testing out Space Weirdos for the heck of it). Post a game report after you're done -- would love to see it and read about your experience.

The latest batch of figures. Taking inspiration from Imperial technicians. I used a mix of bodies from Wargames Atlantic and arms from various other sets. The head gear is not 100% but will do for me.

Looks good! Definitely fits the more grounded vibe that Andor went for.
