Is it just me or is Darth Revan, despite all that he can do, is difficult to build a squad around

Was attempting to build a 200 point squad, but nothing really synergizes well. Even tried a Old Republic squad with him and didn't see much there either

Card Effect Ruling: A character who has Charging Fire (or any Replaces Turn effect) and Twin Attack

I've searched online and I only see mention of Double, Triple, etc forms of extra attacks cannot be used. What happens though when you use something like Charging Assault and you have given that character Twin Attack?

Darth Vader: Imperial Commander+Felucian Stormtrooper Commander

Troopers get +6 Defense and +8 in Cover. Your basic stormtrooper now has 30 defense in cover.

I played against this tonight and got absolutely wrecked by it. My basic rebels and even my commandos couldn’t land a hit. Only my heroes were able to do any damage, and I still had to contend with Vader’s brutal 23 defense.

My only saving grace was Melee attacks with Luke and Grenades. Without that I’d have been lost.

Worth/how to sell

My husband wants to downsize his collection, but isn’t sure how to go about selling them. Should he just shove them all into one lot? Or part them out? We tried lots before and it didn’t work (and supposedly he has a few that are supposed to be worth a pretty penny)

I had a shop reach out once and offer $100 for the whole lot- which we ignored because wtf? Some of them alone are worth that-.

I guess the questions I have are:

1a. Which figures are actually worth something? 1b. Is there a comprehensive list of prices somewhere or do I need to poke around on second hand sites to see what they’re selling for?

  1. What would be the best platform to sell them on?

Game Designer Assessing Interest

Hey everyone, I'm a Tabletop and Video game designer who, even off the clock, can't stop making games.

Something I was into years ago and have gotten back into recently is creating custom missions for Star Wars Miniatures. I love making thematic, lore-consistent (or at least non-conflicting) missions. I like to get light roleplaying elements in there too, which can be ignored or followed depending on the player group.

If I got some of these spruced up, would anyone here be interested in playing themed missions?

Side question, I was never much of a part of the online SW miniatures presence, so is there already a bit of a community for this sort of thing I may not know about?

I've had mixed opinions, but I personally believe it works

Does Exar Kun's Transfer Essence cause the Kel-Dor Bounty Hunter to Self-Destruct and cause damage to those he was adjacent to.

The ";" at the end of Transfer Essence says "That ally is defeated"

Is it labeled as such when removed from the board or after?

New Imperial Squad

Soo... I went kinda crazy on ebay buying up random lots and such. Mostly completing the Rebel Storm set. Here is my Imperial squad that I think could mow down that other rebel team I posted. Also, now I have some duplicates and stuff from sets I'm not as interested in, where is the best place to seek trades?

Check out Crimsonsith's YouTube channel for duels and battles

https://youtube.com/@crimsonsith?si=kiSDCN_gXZwQICdY

He's got a back catalog of large battles and still uploads fairly frequently if you want to watch some star wars miniatures

I am not Crimsonsith just enjoy seeing people play minis

Squeeze rules clarification

Can large and huge figures that don't have rigid all squeeze or does something like mounted weapon also stop squeezing? Would feel mad if ATST can't squeeze (it has rigid) but the snowspeeders can. Couldn't see anything in the rules about what can't squeeze...

New Armoured Cartographer map pack kickstarter is live! Get physical copies of his new and most recent previous map packs, plus digital compendium of all older work!

Matts maps previously known as the legendary 'Armoured Cartographer' has made a new kickstarter for their final map pack focussed on the star wars miniatures board game, available in it are the 4 double sided brand new maps fully compatible with star wars minis, and as an extra up to 5 double sided older maps all printed at the same or IMO even better quality as the original WOTC maps. In this offering Matt has also added an option to get the entire digital compendium of his entire works in PDF and/or JPEG.

These maps are all compatible with SW minis and I love playing on them, especially as access to maps is difficult to come by, new maps really spice up play and can be used for thematic battles/campaigns. take a look at the kickstarter and consider following MattsMaps on facebook for updates.

When choosing Ulic Qel Droma, then allowing to add Mandalore the Indomitable, would sith units be counted as Mandalorian for Mandalorian (Captain, Commander) CE effects?

What is the dumbest mod/disfiguring you did to a mini?

I'll start-- Back when I first got started in 2007, I got the Starter Pack and a few boosters. My first VR pull was a Stormtrooper on Repulsor Sled. Being a dumb kid, at some point I snipped the sculpt off the base so I could play with it as a regular toy.

I know its not the most valuable Very Rare piece, but I still look back and think what a fool I was for that.

Oh and a runner up, I was learning about black/brown washing, and I just about ruined Marisiah Fel, Han Solo in Stormtrooper Armor, and Naga Sadow.

Anyone else completely ruin the visual quality or retail value of their minis?

What's the most OP non-unique

So I saw the question asked earlier about most OP, but most of the discussion was around Mas, Kenobi, etc... What do you think is the most OP non-unique?

Players in Michigan

Right now, I'm in the western suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. If anyone is in the general area, maybe within two hours of New Hudson, please, please, please get in touch with me soon! I love Star Wars Miniatures (It's probably my favorite game), but I have nobody to play it with, except for my older brother who is often pretty busy teaching and stuff.

Finding other players in an area

For years, Star Wars Miniatures has been one of my favorite games. I sort of inherited it from my older brothers, who were getting into it while it was still pretty new. Unfortunately, I haven't played it much in a while, because I've been having a hard time finding someone to play it with. Anyone have any suggestions? Or do you know if miniatures tournaments are still a thing?

Objectives and scenarios

Hello there !

I discovered the Star Wars minis 2 month ago and I found the vassal module I’m having a great time playing but I’m struggling at establishing objectives for each teams

Have you any ideas of objectives or scenarios to play ?

Thanks guys ! (If some of you play with vassal, feel free to send me a message !)

Biggest Battle Map

Hello! I have a friend that is gifting his collection of minis to someone else. He's a bit sad about it and to be a friend I played him in it for a few small rounds (50 and 100 point games). I then guessed he has probably always wanted to play a large game like 600+ points for a game that will take hours, and was right. Problem is we need a massive battle map for it. I was gonna bring my erasable grid maps for DnD and we could try drawing something, but wanted to see if there were any such large maps already made. Seems as if there aren't any, but I could have missed something. Does anyone know of something that could fit this goal? I wanna give him the best battle
