Resurrecting the DEAD...game that I love!

2010…I was just starting college and life seemed great. That is until the game that introduced me to tabletop wargaming died. Wizards of the Coast’s Star Wars Miniatures Game was my gateway drug. It has release waves of 40-60 prepainted characters to fight skirmish battles in the Star Wars universe. Characters came in randomized 7 figure boosters (I loved this then and would nope right past a game like this today).

I had a huge Republic clone army and a solid Separatist armored company. I still have those and not much else because the game is unsupported. No new releases. None of the new characters that have emerged in the last almost 15 years.

I just played two games this week with a friend and was reminded how much I love the game. And how much I wish it was supported. So my Spring Cleaning Challenge is to bring back support for this game and create a new release of characters balanced against the original game (a community exists that makes new releases but they broke the game with ridiculous profiles…we pretend those releases don’t exist). To make balanced creative profiles I will be leveraging my knowledge and experience with AI. Then I am going to use the figures you see above plus bits and craft materials to create conversions and take those miniatures I don’t use and make them awesome!

My theme for this release will be The Clone Wars. I want to balance the factions (Republic is the only faction without missiles, the Seps lack decent nondroid warriors) while making units for the battles of Umbara and Felicia.
