You can learn to do 3d sculpting and work at creating miniatures or modifying existing miniatures that way. There are several apps to do that with, but two free options are Meshmixer and Blender. Blender is an incredibly powerful 3d tool, but has a pretty steep learning curve. Meshmixer has a lot less options, but is somewhat easier to learn. I have used that a lot to modify existing 3d models.</p><p><a href="https://meshmixer.com/">https://meshmixer.com/</a></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjqwZQ3lsG2w-r-BGMPnIZCn0TKUQfMbbNwxlG3xMbXiqnUVOmJqwSbxi4iwPVqMe4kVfJ75dQ_O5Ac8Bj8-f-H4FKHWHs3V0RvSFYxc5PD4A9x5y6D8LRj5ugb8VZnfs_EF7FJISvgG51HTero0M2_gDYnjwP81yv7unov4jT1_fxulTN5qZ-rR-TH" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjqwZQ3lsG2w-r-BGMPnIZCn0TKUQfMbbNwxlG3xMbXiqnUVOmJqwSbxi4iwPVqMe4kVfJ75dQ_O5Ac8Bj8-f-H4FKHWHs3V0RvSFYxc5PD4A9x5y6D8LRj5ugb8VZnfs_EF7FJISvgG51HTero0M2_gDYnjwP81yv7unov4jT1_fxulTN5qZ-rR-TH=w627-h348" width="627" /></a></div><p></p><p><a href="https://www.blender.org/">https://www.blender.org/</a><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi234lwNkeem7UMORsqXRiWhGH5oWQsDst_xVgTKYiMfH8F3Z3ilIyDZpW6ALIc-dO8UO2OUqka3Fdyy8mfRv_WnJPN6txKgDk9lAEXdsBLyb9G0CO4vEHK4a7NTXmWUpO1SMw_aOUXPv1dD1Y0atI8aLee_3pXneAaoHGwfIcj1yJ12STaKIFyqrQv" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi234lwNkeem7UMORsqXRiWhGH5oWQsDst_xVgTKYiMfH8F3Z3ilIyDZpW6ALIc-dO8UO2OUqka3Fdyy8mfRv_WnJPN6txKgDk9lAEXdsBLyb9G0CO4vEHK4a7NTXmWUpO1SMw_aOUXPv1dD1Y0atI8aLee_3pXneAaoHGwfIcj1yJ12STaKIFyqrQv=w547-h308" width="547" /></a></div><br />There are also commercial ones available that can get expensive quick.<p></p><p>Whichever you use, it can be a time consuming process. I regularly use Meshmixer to change weapons, or add attachments, or preassemble miniatures for printing. Sculpting on the other hand becomes a lot more tedious. In Blender you can modify and shape not just by sculpting, but you can go to the individual points or pixels and move them around. Much more fine control, but even more time consuming and a lot of learning.</p><p>Option #2</p><p>There are a few 3d modeling applications that are available online. They have everything that you need to rapidly create characters, though you are somewhat limited to the items that they have available to create those characters.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Hero Forge</h3><p>The most established software is probably Hero Forge.</p><p><a href="https://www.heroforge.com/">https://www.heroforge.com/</a><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjX22-idtHdI6v5CcEGkKvv8cqDa7mz07NbBUH1y8sDdCKeueh8Z0fEZgyVC4CHcZhp7162cZa1CbOdBTmlBaz1pXJz_qZTFOn7eVsLgizk2c5S4C6JjH6233F7LNmrAXjOTncRRG1aaMn1eEpKGRH4iDoz55PSte39C3eJOx6LeRrLW9Rmok3ZD6la" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjX22-idtHdI6v5CcEGkKvv8cqDa7mz07NbBUH1y8sDdCKeueh8Z0fEZgyVC4CHcZhp7162cZa1CbOdBTmlBaz1pXJz_qZTFOn7eVsLgizk2c5S4C6JjH6233F7LNmrAXjOTncRRG1aaMn1eEpKGRH4iDoz55PSte39C3eJOx6LeRrLW9Rmok3ZD6la=w563-h316" width="563" /></a></div>Hero Forge has a very easy interface to use and a lot of great features. As you can see, you can even color your miniatures and order it printed if you would like. You can do a lot with posing of the figure and changing outfits, weapons and a lot of other things.<p></p><p>This lets you make the character of your dreams, and it isn't just for fantasy, they have modern and sci fi gear available also.</p><p>The downside of this is that you have to pay for each miniature, and it is often more expensive than buying a pre created miniature from the store or online. There are options to buy bulk credits which help drop that cost a lot.</p><p>You are also somewhat limited by the gear, and features that they have, which is pretty impressive, but still might not have exactly what you are looking for.</p><p>Some people also find the figures to be a bit cartoonish at times.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Titan Craft</h3><p><a href="https://titancraft.com">https://titancraft.com</a> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiAJ0VOSx-LU8IppNy_Rk-QkzJhlonZpdoQLN_HVXoX-s84pcZ7cnfCD1eYKduTBkzWBLv3WuV6CJo6x9UFCJ341ROEQMmTKCZkO9WHmneufAm9itlpu7Z2WlAD4geOhNp7ITLz4FNHVf6tFbHG3ai0MrxiIsUbxVPlY_pSPBNPrIpLnPtoNsh9rUGS" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiAJ0VOSx-LU8IppNy_Rk-QkzJhlonZpdoQLN_HVXoX-s84pcZ7cnfCD1eYKduTBkzWBLv3WuV6CJo6x9UFCJ341ROEQMmTKCZkO9WHmneufAm9itlpu7Z2WlAD4geOhNp7ITLz4FNHVf6tFbHG3ai0MrxiIsUbxVPlY_pSPBNPrIpLnPtoNsh9rUGS=w566-h318" width="566" /></a></div><br />Titancraft is another great option, and I actually like this one even more than Hero Forge. With Titancraft, you can create individual figures and buy them like you can with Hero Forge. However, Titancraft also allows you to buy "Digital Packs". You buy a pack of items or assets and then you can use them to make as many figures as you want within that area. For instance, they have a Fantasy Pack, that has over 180 items such as clothing or armor, and weapons. That currently costs about $31, and with that you can create and download as many figures as you want!<p></p><p>I currently have a small army of soldiers that I have made as well as many characters.</p><p>The greatest thing about Titancraft is that you have the greatest possibility of poses that I have seen. You can manipulate almost every little detail down to the fingers.</p><p>One of the problems that I have with Hero Forge is that you can't move the feet or legs, but here there is no limit to what you can do. You can even combine multiple characters. (you can do this and make some naughty poses. 😉</p><p>Now, the downside of Titancraft... They don't have the same volume of assets that Hero Forge does, so you are somewhat limited. For instance, for bows, they only have 3 different variants. </p><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYGujPXRfap7bXNI825vbwvBFhJpN5se7vHynFFv2aTi86szAJrLBU8GceDUxXrQGDPy4En0RETNBjZLBPjBe8R0k_AFhiy5aEfAP57gVfkDTOfdlOCRMW0pAOXbddM6QjRgKmeZR_Mn14JjgKX6yk5bM9TpKYApD4ZakjUJ_OQAkCnBHwYkPVIru_" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="644" data-original-width="680" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYGujPXRfap7bXNI825vbwvBFhJpN5se7vHynFFv2aTi86szAJrLBU8GceDUxXrQGDPy4En0RETNBjZLBPjBe8R0k_AFhiy5aEfAP57gVfkDTOfdlOCRMW0pAOXbddM6QjRgKmeZR_Mn14JjgKX6yk5bM9TpKYApD4ZakjUJ_OQAkCnBHwYkPVIru_" width="253" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">TitanCraft Bows</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><div style="text-align: left;">Hero Forge on the other hand has about 15 available.

Well, the Stormtroopers looked so good that I thought they might look good even at a larger scale, so I asked Wakes Emporium if they would scale some up to 15mm, and sure enough, he did that for me. The end result is quite good!<br />
<br />
Here are a few painted up. My painting skill isn't perfect, but I think these came out pretty well.<br />
<br />
I have been using Ground Zero Games 15mm Stargrunt figs for my rebels. They have some that make good proxies for Rebel Fleet Troops. <br />

The Stormtroopers are found here...<br />

<br />
<b><u>The Good...</u></b><br />
There are a ton of varieties of the Stormtroopers. The details are quite good, and the weapons as well as uniforms are easy to make out. There are standard troopers as well as officers and heavy weapons. One that I would like to see, but isn't there yet is a tripod mounted heavy blaster.<br />

The Ground Zero figs are about 1mm taller, and are just a tad beefier. Up close you can see that, but when they are at a slight distance (as in a firefight!), it is hard to notice the difference.<br />
<br />
<b><u>The Bad...</u></b><br />
The price! Shapeways is somewhat expensive to buy from. I use these for Star Wars Miniatures Battles, so you need 3-10 squads of them, and it starts to add up after a bit.<br />
<br />
I would also like to see other figs added in. It would be great to have some Imperial Officers as well as scout troopers. As far as the sculpting goes, I can't find any negatives about them!<br />

The one I have is the Ender3 Pro, and it was just under $200.00 new. You have to assemble it and then do some calibration. The first few prints I did were ok, but not great. I am still working on figuring it out, but slowly getting better!<br />
<br />
Here are some of my prints that I have gotten done. I am working on a Rebel Fleet at approximately 1/10,000 scale. I am using a slightly sliding scale. The smallest ships will come in at 1/5,000 scale in order to print and be seen ok.<br />

This is a group shot of the ones I have printed up now. You can see the banding on the Mon Cal ships, but I am starting to print at a lower line height which seems to be making a major impact on the lines at the cost of a lot more time!<br />
<br />
Below are closeups of the ships. I have one Separatist ship which I think the Rebellion would have found and used early in the war. Probably as some of their first capitol ships.<br />

I printed a troop transport, and am very happy with the results. <br />
<br />
I had a slight issue with the print at the end and it left a gap in one of the upper layers, but it is hard to see. It is near the front of the vehicle.<br />
<br />
Still, I like it and love being able to do some of my own items.<br />

I kept a simple paint scheme and did a quick job, but they came out ok. You can see the print lines a bit, but they aren't too pronounced. You can see them in the photo better than in life size, because these are zoomed in.<br />
<br />
I am quite happy with the results and will be doing more printing soon! I have included some of my 6mm stormtroopers so you can see the scale. The side door is a little small, so these could probably be scaled up a bit, but then the guns would be bigger than I want.<br />

The one I have is the Ender 3 Pro printer. We bought it directly from Creality because they had a great Christmas sale. <a href="https://www.creality3d.shop/products/creality3d-ender-3-pro-high-precision-3d-printer?gclid=Cj0KCQiAxrbwBRCoARIsABEc9sihQowxGhCzhLVtDIxUMHjQvkXjYp_AX9929y3DctTJFX4QDHhK-g0aArdtEALw_wcB">Creality website</a>. It comes unassembled and the assembly is pretty straight forward, but it does take a little time. The only challenging part was leveling the printing tray. It takes a little while, and makes a big difference because if it isn't leveled correctly then the print tends to not stay on the bed. <br />
<br />
I had a few not great prints at the beginning, and finally found out that I didn't have the belt tight enough, so I tightened that and started getting better results. <br />
<br />
With the standard .4mm print head I was able to get these following items. They are 6mm scale turbolaser turrets. The pictures are pretty zoomed in so that you can see the print lines, but in person they are quite small.<br />
<br />
These haven't been primed or painted yet. They are from Thingverse. <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:962019">Link</a><br />
<br />
It comes in 3 parts, the base, the turret and the guns.<br />

I have just recently picked up some Storm Knights from Wakes Emporium on Shapeways <a href="https://www.shapeways.com/shops/wakes-emporium?fbclid=IwAR0sD5fflsuPJ7xFo2FWTqpyMOSMlIdZAGG1YCBvO0wvc3o8dsA76o_vxDk">link</a><br />
<br />
Here is my quick review of the figures...<br />
<br />
<h4>
The pros.</h4>
The quality of these figures are amazing. They have all of the details you would expect to find on Imperial Stormtroopers. The helmet is spot on in design. The level of detail is amazing. You can see the "mouth" crack and the eye holes on the helmet. You can tell what kind of weapon they are carrying. <br />
<br />
It's hard to get closeup pictures to see the details, but here is the best I could do.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first phot shows some of the pictures with a simple wash. The second photo shows my poor painting skills, but does a good job of showing how you can pick up the details (if you have the skills)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The other thing that is amazing is the number of variants of the figures. There are riflemen and light repeating blasters, and even some missile weapons. Several figs have the shoulder pauldron that marks the officers. For the light repeating blasters there are 4 or 5 variants, and at least 3 for the missile guys. For the riflemen and officers it is hard to tell because some of the variants are subtle differences from the others. I would have never expected to see all f these variants, and it is a wonderful addition to the line!</div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now for the cons.</h4>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The printed resin is good and does a great job of showing the details of the figures, but at this scale there is occasionally a little graininess. You have to look close to find it though! Most will never see it unless you paint with magnifying glasses. The other downside of the resin printing is that the figs are just a little fragile. However, I don't know that they are any more fragile than metal 6mm figs. (I have broken a few of those also). I have broken two of the figures. Unfortunately the officer in the picture above is now KIA. I broke his weapon off when I was trying to reposition him on the stand. The glue had partly dried and I tried to remove him, and then "snap". Another one I broke off of the base when removing him from the sprue.</div>
<br />
<h3>
Conclusion.</h3>
<div>
These are amazing figures and are a pleasure to paint, and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to do Star Wars in 6mm!</div>

<br />
I found a person that does Star Wars on Shapeways. He has a pretty good number of items available right now, all scaled to 6mm.<br />
<br />
I prefer the Rebellion era myself, but he has a lot of different items for Clone Wars era. I decided to buy some to test. I bought some Battle Droids from Shapeways. I bought in the smooth, detailed plastic. I have ordered in the cheaper materials before, but it was a bit grainy. I think the smooth, detailed looks better.<br />
<br />
I am pretty impressed with the details of the droids. It is hard to do these in 6mm because they have some small parts. He did a good job of catching enough detail to see them, without making them brittle.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite things about them is that there is a lot of variants. There are several infantry variants, then there are command variants. Those include guys with binoculars, ones with light repeating blasters (or sniper rifles if you prefer), and rocket launchers.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only negative complaint that I have is that the sprue that connects them is a little thick and challenging to cut. I ended up breaking a few of the miniatures when I tried to cut them apart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I found out that he made some tanks and sold them on eBay. He printed these himself. They come in multi parts and require assembly. It is a little challenging to assemble. For instance, the turret is three pieces. There is an upper part and lower part of the hull, then there is the gun. The body has two parts, the front and the back. (I should have fixed the joint on this, but didn't realize it was that bad until I painted it). The two side guns are each two parts and are small. If you use magnifying glasses they are much easier to assemble.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the challenges with assembling them is that they are printed in a translucent resin, and they are pretty small, so it is hard to match up the joints. Once I started using magnifying glasses it went much better.</div>

<br />
The larger one is the Titanium Series. It is close, and I may have to stick with it.<br />
<br />
The smaller one is the F-Toys 1/350. You get 2 in a box which is good, but they are pretty small. The detail on them is quite nice though.<br />
<br />
The figures are 6mm (1/285) from Dark Star Miniatures.<br />
<br />
Next, I think I will try some DeAgostini AT-ATs.Landorlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04653357485062607085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893698707692852037.post-10538704894714649222019-03-28T10:47:00.000-04:002019-03-28T10:47:27.739-04:00Star Wars Infantry for Quadrant 13Here are the first infantry units I have.<br />
<br />
I kept weapons at TL2 to reduce the massive casualties. In the old WEG Star Wars RPG it listed Rebels as having flack jackets, so I assigned them TL2 armor. Stormtrooper armor is better TL3 armor.<br />

The rules are based off of their "I Ain't Been Shot Mum" rules, and are pretty simple and quick playing.<br />
<br />
The rules are available here. <a href="https://toofatlardies.co.uk/product-category/quadrant-13/">Too Fat Lardies Link</a><br />
<br />
Here are the first of the vehicles that I am working on.<br />

Quadrant 13 allows special rules called Chrome, to customize the setting or units.<br />
<br />
So far the first Chrome that I am working on is for Jedi.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Jedi Warriors - Jedi are Big Men and must be class 3 or 4 Big Men.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Jedi add +4 to close combat result when armed with lightsabers.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Jedi can "Reflect shots" at them - When attached to a squad or fired at individually, for each hit scored on the unit, roll a D6. Class 3 Jedi reflect the shot on a 6, Class 4 Jedi redirect on a 5 or 6. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<br />
I have a few more toys painted up.<br />
<br />
Rebel tanks.<br />
<br />
These are rebel T1-B tanks. I bought them from Shapeways <a href="https://www.shapeways.com/shops/corsair?section=X-wing%3A+Ground+Vehicles&s=0">Link Here</a><br />
These are good models well detailed. I mounted them on small washers to make it look like they were "hovering" just off of the ground. I like how they turned out.<br />

Next up is an E-Web Heavy blaster. I designed it and printed it on Shapeways. I think that the barrel is too long, and you can't see the details at the end. I may revise it and then put several on a sprue to print more. The Stormtrooper firing the gun is a gunner from Darkest Star Miniatures Grav Raft. He fits perfect, so that part I got right.<br />
<br />
It is hard to get a good picture of something that small!<br />

<br />
I have been quietly working on some of my Star Wars projects as well as ACW. More on those later.<br />
<br />
For now I wanted to do some updates on my 6mm Star wars project.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Rebel Fleet Troopers</h3>
My fleet troopers are from Darkest Star Miniatures. They are the Federation Low Tech troopers<br />

AT-ST - I'm not satisfied with this one. It is a Micro Machines toy. It is too big, so I will probably look at one that is from Shapeways</div>

When I first saw them they reminded me of some of the old "B" fantasy movies from the 70s and 80s. Movies such as Beastmaster, The Sword and the Sorcerer, Red Sonja, and Conan. <br />
<br />
I have painted up the first four of these, and have a bunch on the workbench, but wanted to give my first impressions...<br />
<br />
The miniatures are well sculpted with good details. There are 5 or 6 variations in each pack. The sculpts are clean.<br />
<br />

One of the most important questions though is how do the fit with other ranges. Well, they are a bit on the large size, though not too big. They are even larger than some of their own ranges. For instance in the picture below, on the far right is one of BV Frigian miniatures. There is a slight difference in height and bulk. In the middle I have an Old Glory 15mm Norman Archer, and on the left is a Barbarian from Copplestone Castings. The Copplestone Casting is smaller, but the picture is a bit deceptive because the spearman has a pretty large helmet!</div>

Here is a batch of Rebel Commandos. I have tried to paint a scheme similar to Battle of Scarif.<br />
<br />
These are from Ground Zero Games. It is their Colonial Defense Force range.<br />

In Scarif there was a mix of some wearing helmets and some wearing caps. All of these have caps on as opposed to helmets. They do have some in helmets, and I may get them eventually.<br />

Why the black bases?</h3>
<div>
You may wonder why I paint my bases black. Normally I would flock them, but for Star Wars, I plan on doing battles on spaceships, in star ports, in desert planets as well as woodland settings. The green base would look odd on a starship deck. I decided that a black base will be ok, but not perfect for almost any environment.</div>

With that in mind I have been picking up some proxies!<br />

<h3>
<br />Stormtroopers</h3>
For Stormtroopers there are a couple of places that made them in 15mm. They are knock offs and aren't quite perfect, but they look great for the role.<br />
<br />
The best ones that I have seen were created by Highlander Studios as a charity sale. I don't think that these are being made still.<br />

The Highlander Studios are larger, but not by much. (The Stormtrooper on the left has a base. The Imperial army trooper does not) The other one is a little closer in scale, but the GZG troop is much bulkier. Not quite happy with the way any of them mix!</div>

<h3>
Rebel Fleet Troopers</h3>
<div>
For the Rebels I went back to Ground Zero Games and got their <a href="https://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/15mm-stargrunt/infantry/islamic-federation-if.html">Islamic Federation Army</a> with the helmets. I thought that the helmets looked close enough to the Star Wars Rebels from the first movie.</div>

<div>
The big reason for smaller scale Star Wars is to get vehicles in the game. Here are a few things that I have on hand.</div>

I think it is a little smaller than it should be. However, for now it is close enough. I think the best fit would be the old Ertl or AMT model, but they are hard to find, and a bit expensive. If I find one cheap enough I may try it out.</div>

I have reached that point!<br />
<br />
With that in mind I need to start clearing some room out of my closet.<br />
<br />
So, I want to sell these figs...<br />
<br />
These were originally from Eureka Miniatures, though I think the System Lord and the SG team came from another source. Can't remember where.<br />
<br />
There are 32 unpainted Jaffa, 7 painted Jaffa, 3 Stargate Personnel, one resin Death Glider, and one Obelisk.<br />
<br />
I'm asking $100.00 for the lot. Shipping in the USA will be $15.00 (priority mail) International will be different.<br />

<br />
<h3>
Current Offerings</h3>
<br />
I like doing battles in Star Wars, but currently the options are small.<br />
<br />
There are the old West End Game Miniatures in 25mm (true 25mm). Good miniatures!<br />
<a href="http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Star_Wars_(West_End_Games)">Link to some pictures of them</a><br />
<br />
There are the old Wizards of The Coast Star Wars Miniatures coming in at 28mm. OK miniatures, but a lot of choice, though not a lot of variations for each type.<br />
<br />
There are the Fantasy Flight Star Wars Imperial Assault ones which hit about 30mm. They are good, but expensive to get in any numbers, and there is only one pose of the regular troops.<br />
<a href="https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/star-wars-imperial-assault/">Link to Star Wars: Imperial Assault</a><br />
<br />
Now there is a new game coming from Fantasy Flight called Legion, and the figures look great. From what I can tell though, they are even a bit bigger. Some people say they come in at 32mm.<br />
<a href="https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/star-wars-legion/">Link to Star Wars: Legion</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Those are all good options, but they work best when used at a skirmish scale, or even large skirmish. It isn't very conducive to having large vehicles on the table (unless you have a very large table!) I will stick with them for skirmish, but I'm looking for something different for larger battles.<br />
<br />
There are also the Micro Machines figures. They run about 20mm, and are a good option. I just don't think they look all that great.<br />
<br />
<h3>
15mm Offerings.</h3>
<div>
First off, no one officially makes Star Wars in 15mm. However, you can get some proxies, and some of the models work pretty well. There are also 3D models you can have done from Shapeways or other locations.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Troops</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The troops that I am looking at using are from Ground Zero Games. Their figures look awesome!</div>
<div>
I'm using the Islamic Federation for the Rebels. The helmet is close to the movies.</div>
<div>
<a href="https://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/15mm-stargrunt/infantry/islamic-federation-if.html">https://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/15mm-stargrunt/infantry/islamic-federation-if.html</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are the first ones that I have painted up. (Again, please excuse the poor quality pictures!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now for Stormtroopers. There are two different places that have made 15mm Stormtroopers. I have some from both of them. If you want to know who makes them, let me know and I will send the lings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This first group are the ones still in production. They are good miniatures. My painting skills don't do them justice. They are the same height as the GZG figures, but the GZG figures are bulkier. However, I'm not sure that it is very noticeable. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This next guy is even better. Originally produced by Highlander Studios as a charity fund raiser. I don't think they are in production any longer. They fit even better with the GZG figures!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For vehicles. The old Micro Machines Action Fleet items work pretty well. The AT-AT is a bit small, but looks good beside the figures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6mm Offerings</h3>
<div>
For 6mm things change a bit. 6mm is a great scale for large scale battles like Hoth. The Fantasy Flight X-Wing ships come in at 1/220 or so in scale, so they are only a bit larger (6mm is 1/285 or 1/300). There are a lot of places that make some good vehicles on Shapeways. Also, there are a lot of 3D vehicles that you can download and convert to Shapeways, or print yourself.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are a few things already available though.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Titanium AT-AT by Hasboro is pretty close to 6mm. Next to it is a Micro Machines AT-ST. It looks like it is just a little on the large size, but works pretty well. For comparison, I have some 6mm WWII figs that are there. I think they look pretty good. I might keep looking for a new AT-ST though.</div>
<div>

I have ordered some minis from Darkest Star Games, and will post them up when I get a chance. I think there are some ones that will be good proxies for Rebel troops and even Stormtroopers.</div>

<div>
The Federation Marines look good for Stormtroopers, though you will have to do a little painting magic to make them look right.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Federation Mid Tech look perfect for Rebel Troopers!</div>

I have several FFG Star Wars Armada ships, but the scale on some of them is horrible, the worst offender being the Corellian Corvette.<br />
<br />
So, I have picked up some ships in some different scales. I already have a lot of the Odyssey Slipways 1/10,000 range which is good for the larger ships, but the smaller ones are tiny, so I have looked at some different options.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here are two different Lancer Class Frigates. The top one is a Shapeways creation at 1/7,000. The bottom is an Odyssey Slipways at 1/10,000 scale. There is very little difference between them. The shapeways one is very detailed, but somewhat costly<br />

Here is the aforementioned Corellian Corvettes. The top is the FFG Armada ship, and it is huge!<br />
<br />
Next is a ship from a Halmark Star Destroyer ornament. The Halmark SD is what I am using for my Star Destroyers. They fit pretty well at 1/10,000 scale.<br />
<br />
Next is a 1/7,000 from Shapeways. The details are great and the quality is quite good. This may end up being my ship of choice!<br />
<br />
The bottom is an Odyssey Slipways 1/10,000 ship, and it is positively tiny! The engine comes in 2 parts and is a little tricky to assemble because it is so small.<br />
<br />
<br />

One last picture here...<br />
<br />
This shows the vehicles along with two different X-Wings. The top one is from FFG Armada, and the bottom is from Studio Bergstrom. <br />
<br />
To do fighters at 1/10,000 or 1/7,000 they would be little more than dots, so the Bergstrom is the closest. <br />
<br />
Roughly the scale for the FFG is 1/2400.<br />
<br />
Scale for the Hallmark is 1/5000ish. Utar ships makes one at 1/4222, so I think that I might order one of his to see how it works. However, I am fairly happy with the one from Shapeways. I think it is actually made by Utar on his Shapeways account.<br />
<br />

It was a pretty simple game. I was using Battleground WWII rules from Easy Eight, which still remains one of my favorite rules.<br />
<br />
<h3>
First - Zombie rules.</h3>
<br />
Zombies only get one action per turn, however, their movement is faster than infantry. They move at 6 inches rather than 4 inches. If a soldier full out runs for two actions, they will outpace the zombies.<br />
<br />
Zombies don't suffer any affects of Light Wounds, Suppression or Morale Checks. A Heavy Wound counts as a Light Wound. They will only stop if they are KIA or Gory Death.<br />
<br />
To start with zombies will move around randomly until they see a person or hear a loud noise. This attracts them and they move full move towards the person or sound every action.<br />
<br />
Zombie attacks: A zombie attacks in hand to hand as normal. If they overcome their opponent, they will immediately start feasting on them.<br />
<br />
Zombies are attracted to kills. If they are in line of sight of a fresh kill, they have to take a test against a 10 or less, or go towards the kill to feed.<br />
<br />
Feeding will continue for 1D6 rounds. If a live victim walks into sight, they will take a test vs a 10 or less to attack, or they will keep feeding.<br />
<br />
<h2>
The game</h2>
<br />
This is the situation. We are in Sicily just after the US troops have landed. There has been heavy fighting in the area, but it has moved on. The company was ordered to hold their ground and get some rest. This squad of 6 soldiers has settled down in a small barn for the night. The rest of their platoon is about a half mile down the road.<br />
<br />
The squad is as follows...<br />
Sgt Brown is the squad leader - Leadership +1, Morale 14, armed with Thompson<br />
Cpl Davidson is Leadership 0, Morale 12 armed with M1 Carbine<br />
Pvt Green is Morale 11, armed with BAR<br />
Pvt Walters is Morale 11 armed with Garand<br />
Pvt Levi is Morale 11 armed with Garand<br />
Pvt Jones is Morale 11 and armed with Garand<br />
<br />
All soldiers except for Green has a single grenade.<br />
<br />
It is night, and so sighting distance is doubled, and range is limited to effective (not that it comes into play in this game!) Fire at effective range is reduces by -2.<br />
<br />
Pvt Levi and Pvt Jones are outside of the house stationed on watch.<br />
<br />

I didn't use cards for this game. I rolled a die. High the US acts first. Low the Zombies do. Also, if the US goes first, they take 1 action each THEN the zombies move before the second US action,<br />
<br />
During this turn, the zombies milled around a bit, but Levi or Jones didn't notice them. I used random movement for the zombies.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Round 2.</h3>
<br />
Zombies move second and continue random movement. One of them comes within possible range of sight.<br />
<br />
Levi and Jones both hear a sound across the road. (They needed a 12 or less to see. Both rolled under) They look and see a German soldier emerging from the trees. Levi shouts for him to surrender. Jones isn't as nice and takes a shot. It is in effective range and he moves.<br />

<h3>
Round 3</h3>
US acts first. I make a "guts" Test for the soldiers sleeping in the barn.<br />
Sgt Brown rolls 2 and is instantly alerted by the sounds.<br />
Davidson rolls a 9 and also is awake and alert<br />
Green rolls a 15. He awakes, but is unaware of what is going on.<br />
Walter rolls a 19 and sleeps through the whole thing.<br />
<br />
Outside Levi and Jones realize that there are more than one German, and they both open fire. Jones fires two shots, and he can tell that both hit, but the stupid German won't drop (Neither are aware that they are facing zombies yet!)<br />
Levi also lets fire with two shots, and is happy to see that one of the Germans drop when he pops it in the head!<br />
<br />
The zombies now move, and there are several appearing now. They move close enough that both Levi and Jones gets a good look. They see that they are bloody, and have horrible wounds. They should be dead. Both soldiers then have to make a morale check. Both fail by less than 5 (House rule for this game - fail by less than five means they are stunned and can't act, but don't flee)<br />

<br />
For the second action of the US, the Levi and Jones are looking around trying to figure out what they are seeing. On the inside, the Sarge gets up and starts shouting orders. Green and Walter are both now awake. Sgt Brown and Davidson run outside to see what is going on. They get out in time to see what looks like Germans heading towards them<br />
<br />
<h3>
Round 4</h3>
Zombies roll and get to move first. This is a bad thing at first, but allows US to take 2 actions in a row later, and possibly more if they roll first the next round.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately for Levi and Jones two of the zombies are close enough to rush them. One attacks each. The zombies are at -1 because both Jones and Levi are shaken. It doesn't matter though, because on both rolls the zombies easily win. Sgt Brown and Davidson are stunned as they see two of the Germans rush Levi and Jones and pull them down and start tearing at their flesh as Levi and Jones both scream in terror.<br />
<br />
Brown and Davidson both make morale checks and pass.<br />
<br />
Now the US finally get to act. Sgt Brown sees another one closing on them. He fires a burst of three and all three hit. The zombie drops, but it is still moving (Heavy Wound)<br />
<br />
Cpl Davidson fires at the zombie attacking Jones. He hits, but it doesn't even affect them!<br />
<br />
US second action. Brown and Walter now reach the door and see what is going on. Brown fails a morale check and freezes. Walter fires at one of the zombies closing on the barn but completely misses.<br />
<br />
Sgt Brown unloads again on the wounded zombie, and this time is rewarded by a limp creature.<br />
Cpl takes a step closer to Jones and fires one shot at each zombie, and both go down. One takes a round in the head, and the other in the middle of the back!<br />

<h3>
Round 5</h3>
US gets to act first this round.<br />
<br />
Sgt Brown now focuses on those who are attacking Pvt Levi. He fires a burst into one of the zombies, and all 3 shots hit. In fact he severs part of the arm of the creature, but it simply keeps eating at Levi!<br />
<br />
Cpl Davidson sees more coming in from the north and he opens fire missing all of them.<br />
<br />
However Pvt Green has seen where he was shooting and turns his BAR on the first zombie he sees. Three rounds strike into the creature, one of which is a roll of 1 and the zombie's head is vaporized!<br />
<br />
Pvt Walters comes out also and fires, but misses with everything.<br />
<br />
Now the zombies are on the move. One zombie is close enough to reach Cpl Davidson, and the others are drawing even closer. Cpl Davidson tries to push the zombie away, but he is overwhelmed (Davidson rolled a 19 and the zombie rolled a 15 - Bad die for Davidson). Davidson goes down screaming as a zombie starts tearing at his flesh!<br />

<br />
<br />
The US now takes their second action. Green sees more coming around the barn. He opens fire and sees one fall, but it is still moving! Walter fires on the one who is attacking Davidson. At this close range it is hard to miss, and both rounds strike home, but the zombie just ignores them (two light wounds!)<br />
<br />
Sgt Brown sees a whole mess of them coming around the building. He quickly snatches his one grenade and tosses it. He lands it at the feet of one zombie, and when it explodes, the zombie is virtually vaporized. Three other zombies are in the range of effect. Two of them simply ignore the shrapnel showering them, but one sees one of it's legs ripped to shreds!<br />

<br />
Now the zombies take action. I roll for all of the zombies, and most start feeding on the wounded and dead soldiers. Only four follow the soldiers into the barn.<br />
<br />
US second action.<br />
As they run in, Walters grabs his grenade and tosses it out the door. It bounces and rolls right to where four zombies are feeding on Levi. If Levi wasn't dead yet, he is now as the grenade explodes. in the mass of bodies. One zombie is torn to bits by the shrapnel and another one has both legs mangled. Two others are knocked over, but get back up and start feeding again.<br />
<br />
Green sees one coming in the door, and fires a burst from the BAR. The first round strikes it in the face, easily finishing it, but he also rolled a double jam! Disaster!<br />
<br />
Sgt Brown was about to fire when he saw the zombie go down, but from where he is, he can't see any other targets. He looks at the two frightened young soldiers, and wonders if they will get out of this!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Round 7</h3>
US goes first again.<br />
Sgt Brown moves to the window to get a view of what is happening outside. <br />
Pvt Green hammers away at his BAR to clear the jam. <br />
Pvt Walters can see a zombie outside of the door. He fires a couple of rounds, but in the gloomy light misses bot shots.<br />
<br />
Then the zombies come moving on. Most of the rest of the zombies start chowing down, but four of them are moving towards the barn doors!<br />

Walters sees the first one come through the doors and levels his gun at the face of the zombie. Two shots at point blank range virtually removes the creatures head.<br />
<br />
Sgt Walters sticks his gun out the window and fires at the zombies heading for the door. Two rounds smacks home on the closest one and it drops.<br />
<br />
Pvt Green finally gets the stuck bullet out of his BAR and is ready to join the fight again!<br />

<h3>
Round 8</h3>
<br />
Bad news for the GIs. The zombies go first.<br />
Three zombies immediately enter. One rushes Green and another rushes Walters. Green rolls a great roll. A 2. The only way the zombie can win is with a... Oh crap, he rolled a 1! Green is bowled over by the zombie!<br />

Walter nods as he fires at the zombie feeding on Green. He hits, but it just keeps eating. He is ready to run also!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Round 9</h3>
US acts first<br />
1st action.<br />
Both soldiers run outside, and start running south, keeping as far from the feasting zombies as they could!<br />

I rolled for each zombie, and none of them wanted to leave their place at the buffet. (I forgot to roll for how long the feast would continue - which was a good thing for the US)<br />

US second action.<br />
<br />
They continue to run towards the road, now putting some distance between themselves and the GI buffet. They could see there were a few more zombies closing in on them!<br />

2 zombies are in range of Walters. Both rush him and it looks like good night for Walters. They both get a -4 for multiple attackers. The first zombie rolls a 10 for a modified 6, but Walter rolls a 3. He swings his rifle like a bat and smashes it's skull. The second rolls a 14 for a modified 10.

Enter Fantasy Flight Games. They now have the license for most of the Star Wars games. They have created an RPG system that originally started with Edge of The Empire, and has sense expanded. I have recently picked up Age of Rebellion RPG and wanted to offer a comparison...<br />

(I know that there was a D20 Star Wars game, but never played that because I simply didn't like the idea of D&D modified for Star Wars!)<br />
<br />
<h3>
Disclaimer...</h3>
The first thing that I have to say is that I have played WEG Star Wars several times, but I haven't played Age of Rebellion yet, just read through the rules (and did a couple of play test fights against myself)<br />
<br />
<h3>
Simple Comparison</h3>
<div>
What I like most about Age of Rebellion is their dice system. In essence it is a dice pool vs a target number. However, the target number is determined by the dice. Also, the dice aren't simple numbers, but rather they are icons.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Below are the dice and their icons (plus there is a conversion table for using "normal" dice.</div>

<br /></div>
So, let's say you wanted to do a skill test. You insert however many dice the governing ability is - usually 2-4. Then you would insert any proficiency dice which represents advancement in that particular skill. If the GM determines that there are any advantageous circumstances, then you may get a boost dice (or even more than one!). The GM then sets the difficulty of the action by adding difficulty dice, and if it is very hard a challenge die or two. Possibly some setback dice based upon the situation.<br />
<br />
You then roll the pull, and you are looking for successes vs failures. If you get more successes than failures you succeed. You many also get Advantages or Threats which indicate special successes or failures. You can also get a triumph or Despair which are extraordinary successes or failures. In order for those to apply you must have more of one than the other (i.e., more Advantages than Threats) It is possible to succeed at a task, but also have a threat or even a despair. This is then up the the GM to determine possible outcomes.<br />
<br />
(For instance you are hacking a computer and you succeed, but with a Threat. So the GM says that you get the info you need, but manage to set off an alarm while doing it)<br />
<br />
Combat uses the same mechanics as skill tests, which is a good thing. <br />
<br />
In a lot of ways this is somewhat similar to the old WEG game. The new dice mechanics though add a good change.<br />
<br />
With the old WEG system skills were a dice pool of D6s. The greater your skills are, the more you have. The problem with that approach is that after a while the benefits of increasing your skills start to diminish. The more dice you have, the less likely you are to get an extreme result, so the more average your rolls become. A character with 10D skill isn't much better than one with 8D.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Combat</h3>
Combat is pretty good with a couple of minor issues (in my opinion)<br />
<br />
Damage is basically a hit point based system. Weapons do a certain amount of damage. The damage is modified by extra success dice. (for instance a blaster may do 9 damage, plus 1 for every success dice that isn't canceled by a Failure dice) Damaged is then reduced by a "soak" value, which is a combination of armor and physical "toughness". The total is reduced from your hit points (called Wound Threshold)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ5Sui30tCWlgnKSw4lReODMvq0LSm2L2VDRTwkFFv2ttobiHKBzY5mZdGM-rzjp557qD01lDnbyNm3LfQUVcnTN3_5U0olwqy050T-RRNdFzsu27RIUGGqdwZC5cnAVKtbtM7mS-lTQo/s1600/Fight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ5Sui30tCWlgnKSw4lReODMvq0LSm2L2VDRTwkFFv2ttobiHKBzY5mZdGM-rzjp557qD01lDnbyNm3LfQUVcnTN3_5U0olwqy050T-RRNdFzsu27RIUGGqdwZC5cnAVKtbtM7mS-lTQo/s320/Fight.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
In addition, weapons can generate critical affects if they do a certain number of excess Advantages. The number needed is set by the weapon. 2-4 is the most common range. So, if you hit, AND you have enough Advantages left over, then you can also do a critical.<br />
<br />
Now, most of the critical hits are kind of geared to be used against PCs or named enemies because for the most part they deal long term injuries rather than just extra damage.<br />
<br />
In WEG system damage is dealt by D6. Like a good blaster will do 4D6 damage. Roll 4 dice and then compare it to the victim's Strength (Usually 2D6-4D6). If the blaster roll is higher than the Strength roll, then you do damage. While Age of Empire uses "Wound Threshold" WEG uses actual wound levels. You can be "stunned", "wounded", "incapacitated", or "mortally wounded"<br />
<br />
I kind of like the WEG approach to injuries better. I have never liked hit point based systems. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgITTergOLeCBEcudL32rIaFKgv5OREHvA4MxP6376rBa1eefJUqPRNywraqJFwknv79zOCErWaWibgXQPYhfg5clpkwVAtYXLCaCzFMBpfzpnr4f4SgfeMBevM6fCZe0EgN6SEcGUCxtg/s1600/gun+fight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgITTergOLeCBEcudL32rIaFKgv5OREHvA4MxP6376rBa1eefJUqPRNywraqJFwknv79zOCErWaWibgXQPYhfg5clpkwVAtYXLCaCzFMBpfzpnr4f4SgfeMBevM6fCZe0EgN6SEcGUCxtg/s1600/gun+fight.jpg" /></a></div>
However the Age of Rebellion system doesn't use a ton of hit points, and they aren't constantly increasing like in D20 games, so combat is still dangerous. Also for most simple bad guys they have "minions" which are characters with only a few HP, so a good hit will usually kill them.<br />
<br />
Both systems handle space combat similarly to ground combat which is great because you don't have to use two different systems to play. Both systems scale damage to the area of play so that you don't have to use massive amounts of dice to do space battles. The damage ranges are basically the same as those in character battles, but both give a way to represent the larger guns if they attack characters.<br />
FFG says to add 10 to the damage done by vehicle blasters against people. WEG adds extra damage dice.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Combat flaws...</h4>
<div>
The one area that I don't like in combat is that ranges and movement are abstracted. You have some basic range bands, and movement is basically closing from one range band to another. It works pretty well for most things, but the one area that I find a flaw in, is the location of characters and enemies within relationship to each other. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ranges are "engaged", "short", "medium", "long", "extreme". Some weapons will only fire to short, or medium, while others can fire even longer. The problem is with grenade weapons. They affect everyone within "engaged" range of the blast area. So it is always up to the GM to determine who is within the blast radius. The game really doesn't support using miniatures to represent the battlefield very well. However, you can still use them to give an idea of the picture, so it isn't a major concern.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Another flaw</h4>
<div>
This isn't really a flaw, just a concern. The Fantasy Flight Game can be VERY expensive to get into. You can buy a boxed set that has the basics of the game, but to really play it, you need the core rule book. However, there are three core games. There is Edge of Empire, Age of Rebellion and Force and Destiny. The core rulebooks all cost $60.00. Now you don't have to have them all, you can use only one, but each one gives a different area of play. For instance, if you wanted to play a group like those in "A New Hope", you would need Edge of Empire for Han and Chewie, Age of Rebellion because of the rebels involved, and probably Force and Destiny, because the other two don't have a ton of info on the force.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Which is better</h3>
<div>
That is hard to say. There are a lot of great aspects about both systems. The one thing I like about WEG is the ability to use WEG Star Wars Miniatures Battles with the system. It converts over solidly for when you want to do bigger battles.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However the FFG system has some other great advantages with them. The dice system is great, offers a little more variety than just simple dots on a dice. </div>

I have already compared the Orcians, Dwarians, and Legian Rangers. Now I have some goblins from them.<br />
<br />
Basic review.<br />
<br />
I love the quality of these guys. My pictures (and painting) doesn't do them justice. The sculpting detail is very good. The faces have a lot of character for 15mm. That is pretty rare.<br />
<br />
The only thing I'm not excited about is the number of variants. The ones that I have are from the swordsmen pack and there are 6 variants in that pack. That is quite good, but all of the other ones have 3 or 4 variants. If you order the 35 pack you will end up with about 10 of each pose. The only reason that I complain is that many of the other packs have as many as 10 variants.<br />
<br />
Still, they are great figures, and I will get more.<br />
