Specifically, would the Fire Control stack with General Grevious's commander effect or with the Super Battle Droid Commander's careful shot?

I have a bunch of paper maps for this game, and some of my older ones are starting to show some wear, even when I don't use them that often or use them too roughly. I'm thinking of taking them and getting them laminated, but I'm unsure of whether they'll still fold/unfold properly for storage or lay flat for use when I want to play. Has anyone else had any of their maps laminated and have some feedback for me on how they turned out?

My husband and I finally found a second to sit down, list and price out the figures he wants to/can part with! And none to soon, we just got a power bill for $1600. Who knew baseboard heaters were so bad on power consumption 🥲.

You can find the list below!!

It’s going to be a cold winter for the five of us (2+3kids) unless you guys can help! 🙏 (yes I am shamelessly trying to appeal to your better nature). If we sell them all for about how much they’re going for on eBay, we’d make a good dent in our heating bill 🥺

Site doesn’t seem to be up anymore. I just get error messages. Anyone else having this difficulty?

Light or Dark Rainbow

I was thinking about creating a rule set for either 1 Flag or 2 Flag CTF

I feel like vehicles and emplacements get to benefit from Commander Effects. Even if it seems a tad silly.

What about the Bacta Tank? If you give it an attack boost and a damage boost can it shoot?

Just started playing after years of collecting but not knowing how to play. A veteran showed me the basics at a gaming convention recently, so I am, along with my friends, finally giving it a go. My apologies for such a rudimentary question, but this was what happened today when we were playing and I used General Windu who has lightsaber sweep to attack my friend's Antares Draco, body guard, and imperial knight in one go. The bodyguard ate Draco's attack and died from his own hit, but for the last target: the imperial knight, my friend and I were confused if it could block the Sweep since the force ability replaces the attack but if all attacks from a card that says melee are treated as melee attack, then that would mean it can be blocked and on an sufficiently high roll it can cause the lightsaber to fizzle, correct? We weren't sure if force powers which replace attacks were a designed way to get around a character with Block or not. In this case would it have been "common sense" to know that because the force power is a lightsaber attack and not a force push it's blockable?

I'm sure I've overlooked some aspects of such a character, as I am only just beginning to read upon V-Sets and how Yuuzhan Vong were brought up-to-speed for competitive play.

But any thoughts on this design? I admit its a little more thematic than competitively minded, but I wanted it to still be viable.

So I'm just getting into Bloomilk, thanks to everyone who has already commented on my customs!

I'm curious about what the "rating" for a character or squad means. Are you rating a character or a squad on how well crafted and designed it is, or how powerful it is? So if someone makes a stupidly OP character, is that a 10? Or would you rate it lower because they are too op?

Considering that Maul and Sidious both got Sith iterations, and Boba Fett got a Mando figure, it would've been cool to see more cross faction action and get a Vader in a Sith squad. Putting him alongside Revan, Bane, Exar Kun or Maul on a team would've just been cool. The Sith don't feel complete without him.

Alrighty, I have nearly finished a handful of my new missions, basically newbie-friendly match-ups that can be played in isolation. The general idea being, what if you could break out your Star Wars Miniatures as an option during a board game night.

I'll do a little graphic designing to make em pretty, and I'll post links for pdfs, I think.

But that got me thinking (although perhaps its a little rude to mention other platforms while here on Reddit), would anyone be interested in a Star Wars miniatures discord? I went searching, but the best I could find is a Shatterpoint group.

At the same time, I wouldn't want to create something that would be seen as redundant or unwanted.

But here's why I think it could be nice:
Its clear that there are still a number of people in the community, although many are scattered in different countries. I also know that many keep in contact so they can play VASSAL matches, although finding such groups has its own challenges as well. Given Discord's ability to host multiple channels and file-sharing, I feel like it would be really useful in connecting community members who otherwise wouldn't get the chance to meet.

The second, less striking but still funny to me reason is: I just spoke with someone I met through one of the facebook pages about buying some miniatures from them. Upon further discussion, we realised that we had *just* communicated through eBay as well. Unbeknownst to me, I was interacting with the same person in multiple places!

Anyway, I'd be more than happy to organize such a server, as it is somewhat connected to my day-job and would not be a major imposition for me. Would any of you care for this?

Regardless, I will still share my scenarios I write here, but of course Discord would be an even easier place to share these things!

To properly title the poll: **Would You Like to Join a SWM Discord?**
*And if so, comment the kinds of channels you think would be must-haves!*

With new Heroscape released this year, has anyone used the terrain to play this game? If so - any tips on how?

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

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?

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.

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?

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

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?

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?

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?

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
