Goldfinch's Rebel Gallery (11/03)

[Goldfinch's Rebel Gallery (11/03)]

I’m going to be taking inspiration from Kota’s militia. I’ll be using the normal trooper bodies, shapeways fleet helmets and throwing on some pauldrons and pouches. 

[Goldfinch's Rebel Gallery (11/03)]

Very nice. I was planning on something similar for my Rebel vets. 

[Wookiee Diaspora and Colonies?]

I’m looking for information on significant Wookiee populations beyond their home world. I’m guessing they aren’t really an expansionist species, but they might have found a couple garden spots to settle down. 

[Imperial Saber Tank?]

I believe it is featured in the SW Commander mobile game as an Imperial unit which means it is part of the Disney Canon. 

[What Factions do you think should be next?]

The scale of Legion has a couple dozen fighters per side for most games. What would likely be classified as a platoon level game. Galaxy spanning crime syndicates could easily muster forces of that size. 

[What Factions do you think should be next?]

Scum and Villainy for sure. It should include sub factions like the Hutt Cartel, Black Sun, Zann Consortium. Along with native factions like Tusken Raiders. 

[I really want the First Order (and Resistance) and why they are viable as factions.]

I’m all for Sequel Trilogy stuff, but only after we get Old Republic era Republic, Sith and Mandos. 

[Scum As A Faction]

I always liked the way WotC did the Fringe faction in their game. You could either make an all Fringe squad or bring a few along with your main faction squad. 

There are tons of sub faction that could be rolled into a Scum line. 

Hutt Cartel

Black Sun

Zhan Consortium

Pike Syndicate 

Corporate Sector Authority 

[Tuantuan Proxy?]

If I bring in stuff from the Ewok movies it will be Wilford Brimley before anything else. 

[Tuantuan Proxy?]

I’ve been trying to come up with an organic mount that the Alliance might have employed on more temperate worlds. I’m trying to narrow it down to bipedal herbivores so as not to be too divergent from the official model. So far all I’ve been able to come up with are Kybucks, but I’m not sure how widespread their use was. 

[Rebel Assault Troopers or Partizans next?]

Which infantry unit would folks be most interested in seeing next for the Alliance?

The determined and heavily armed Assault Troopers specializing in frontal attacks. 

Or

The morally questionable Partizans who launch devastating ambushes heedless of collateral damage. 

[OT: What's Left?]

Things that I don’t think have been mentioned yet. 

Empire 

Dark Troopers

Rebels

Assult Troopers

[E-Web and FD canon announced]

We have got to get alternate crew for those puppies!

[Alternate Troops on weapons]

I’m most likely going to be holding off on getting either of these until I can get a hold of crew that fits with my forces. Miniature wargaming is a a place where I like to indulge my OCD. Having Hoth troopers mixed with my standard troops would drive me nuts.

[More Vehicles for the Empire?]

I’ve always loved the Saber Tank! If and when they release them I’ll be sure to start up a **** Hammers squadron.

[Dropping the Ball (Opinion)]

I do feel that the release schedule is abit slow especially for a brand new game. I would have liked to see at least one unit of each type for both factions before the end of the summer. At this rate we might not see that before the end of the year.

[Should terrain be explodable?]

I can see some form of destructible terran working as an optional advanced rule. I mean how you gonna stop them Rebels if you can’t target their shield generators?

[Where is the First Order?]

I think they should just head all the way back to the Old Republic next. Who doesn’t want to see armies of Sith and Jedi pitted against each other for control of the galaxy’s destiny?

[Using Lego as terrain]

I believe Lego is more expensive than traditional terrain for what you get. However if you already have a bunch of  Lego go nuts. Heck at that point just use Lego minifigs to keep the ascetic consistent. It’ll save a lot of time on painting. 

[How much converting do you plan on doing?]

I’ve already swapped a few heads and arms. I’ve also magnetized my AT-RTs.As more resources become available in the form of new minis and possible accessory pack I’ll likely do more.

[New Article - Prepare for Ground Assault]

I’m a little fuzzy on the whole organized play approach. Are these kits something that we have to convince our LGS to invest in or can anyone run them? 

[805th Engineering Division]

Very nice! I’m hoping we see engineers released as squad upgrades in the future.

[Makwiesel paints Imps (Chiss Shadow Troopers)]

Most impressive!

[Things you absolutely want to see in the game]

Alternate sculpts for common figures like squad leaders and different head and arm options for squads.

[Head Swaps]

Most heads you will find are roughly 28mm in scale making them significantly smaller than Legion minis. I hope Fantasy Flight decides to release some customization packs in the near future. If they don’t I’m sure third party companies will fill the void.
