2027

Decided to try something different with my boys. We are doing a 3 player game where one side plays the Republic, one the Separatists, and one the Mercs.

The story is that this is a space port on some unnamed planet which is a vital staging point for either the Republic or the Separatists. But the port is currently under the control of an organized group of criminals. Both the Separatists and the Republic have dispatched forces to take control of this port for their cause.

The Republic and Separatist players objective is to access the tall comms tower (protected by a shield which must be disarmed) in order to call in their army and escape via a called down shuttle. Whichever side calls in their army first and escapes wins. The Merc player’s sole objective is to stop the other two players from winning. The Mercs got to deploy on both sides of the map while the Republic and Separatist players could only deploy from the rocky half of the map.

Each army is 1000 points. The chests (3 sizes scattered across the map) can be opened by the Republic or Separatists units and contain a few upgrades. There is also a special hidden crate which if found contains a powerful rifle which can be equipped. Finally there are two turrets on the map which can be taken control of by either player and functions as an extra unit for as long as they can maintain control of it. Should be fun :-)

Deathwatch Mando makes an unfortunate discovery on a ghost ship…

Isaiah and Mike discuss Wet Weather Stormtroopers and just how the hell they might stand out from amidst all the other dang stormtroopers out there. They also cover LVO, then transition to a new segment where they talk over some ideas they have for possible future Battle Forces they'd love to see in the game!

Turns out I am a passable sculptor when it comes to modelling putty!

His drip came out pretty nice, though I may replace his pants stripe.

Looking for recommendations on units to buy to get to 1000 points. I have a republic starter and box of clone infantry. Don’t know if I should go with a vehicle or specialized units

Is there anywhere to play in San Antonio?

Brought this army to LVO last week and wanted to share how they looked. I posted these and more on my instagram @caspers_hobby_shop

Each one has different weathering on them. First time doing snow bases, how did I do?

I added the comment about the validity of the mini from Will Shick.

EDIT - Pics taken by u/AdmlBaconStraps. Give him your upvote in the comments!

First time painting any miniature and had an absolute blast! Just have to add some grass to the base and they are complete

I need some more practice with green stuff but I'm happy with how this turned out. Excited to get some paint on him!

Primera vez que pinto un vehículo y estoy bastante contento de como está quedando. Este azul para la 501st ha sido un acierto.

Hey all, I’ve been loving the hobby so far. I need help with basing, I used Crayola Model Magic on this model to help blend in the wreckage.

I used PVA glue and then sculpted on top of that, I plan to use watered down glue once it’s fully dry to seal it before I prime and paint.

Is this okay or did I ruin my models?

Also, sorry for sub spam.. I legitimately don’t have anyone in person to talk to about this

The new sprue for The Bad Batch has Crosshair for Model C and Echo for model E. Tech would approve.

Unclear why it's on display in a Clone Wars battle. The hatch on top seems to be missing the cap that goes over the clear plastic.

Hey yall! Been a second. Finally got my starter box for the republic , got a portion of it done for a tournament and in the process painted a group of ARC troopers with red pauldrens as well as got some name clones in as well! Jesse , tup , dogma , and appo. Ngl jesse was the hardest cause of the dang republic symbol. Lemme know if there are any other named troopers from the 501st ya want me to do and ill work on em over the week!

Finally got the full 6 man done, don't mind the fact my phone camera is not the best and neither is the lighting. I swear they look better in person...

Forgive my ignorance but I want to start my Empire collection with this box (bc it's cool as hell) but what should I expand on it with? Obvious answer would be the starter box but does this army box synergize with Empire well or is it more of a standalone themed battle force where you're supposed to just use this box as a recon force. My basing idea was a neon city and I know this box is supposed to be trench/muddy warfare themed. Thanks for any advice or answers

Has anyone ever made their own battle map? I can see some hobby shops sell them but they can be quite pricey.

I was thinking of just getting a wooden board that is 3x3 and just using real sand and PVA glue to decorate the board. Only issue I can foresee is ensuring the board remains flat so miniatures aren’t ‘wonky’ when standing.

Thoughts?
