awesome stuff - to see some passion for SWMinis on display,
and for SW more broadly is awesome to see!
thanks for sharing
indeed, the opportunity exists for you and other NuWars fans
to make your very own custom minis, as SWM is discontinued,
(the main buzz for SW-related tabletop minis is FFG's "imperial assault")
luckily the awesome team that make the official-unofficial VSets
are slowly working their way to that nuwars subject matter - they'll get there shortly-ish
the VSet team are being more careful to make even more awesome pieces,
and take their time, which results in less errata and fewer OP meta-pieces or auto-includes.
apparently the more prominent pieces were chosen due to time and set size constraints,
while more pieces - hopefully the myriad fringe aliens and droids we saw in the newer continuity films and tie-in merch too? -
will eventually be made unofficially-official,
sanctioned for a tabletop near you.
in the meantime,
surf has made quite an inroads to those
first order and resistance cards,
which can be a 'booster-pack fix' in the meantime
i can't recommend checking out surf's work enough
Rey-ray and Ben Starkiller/Darth K-Ren make for a great dynamic duo!
Capn' Plasma and Bao-Dur are a fun dynamic duo.
creepy-notyoda-cantina-alien and dannik jerriko? extra creepy fringe duo.
bb-8 would also replace a lot of healers in dynamic duo droid builds... especially the versions
which have accelerate and flamethrower 20. does bb-8 provide cover?
I'd enjoy seeing TFA and post epVI continuity,
treated as an entirely separate era/epoch in terms of recreation or scenario play,
and as separate factions entirely,
rather than as 'rebels" or "imperials' with a caveat SA,
though thats a personal approach to the subject.
so, just as you can't have
the Old Republic (can you believe, some folks dislike the TOR/KOTOR games and continuity?)
vs
NuWars,
you can't have
CloneWars
vs
NuWars etc...
for 'authentic era recreation" etc...
nuwars v nuwars is good to go,
New Republic, YVong and TotJ-later Imperials vs NuWars is probably alright too,
given nuwars is "i-cant-believe-its-not-postEpVI-continuity"
is Darth K-Ren functionally Desann? (Desann betrayed luke's order, and they made a game series with it)
or more like Jerec?
would supreme leader snorkel be Jerec, emperor reborn, baron fel etc?
seguing to the SW near future,
I am looking forward to Rogue One
(why the reshoot? let the steamer air and fans'll decide if they like it or not)
a not-kyle-katarn and jan-ors would be cool to see make it to the big screen.
who wouldn't want to see a Yoda movie? PG or higher rated, it'd be awesome any way you look at it.
and a Han Solo/Boba Fett film. jennifer laurence as aurra sing, lando's got a few actors lining up to play-
a whole bunch of bounty hunters and all
so, hopefully there'll be a lot of new content from all that
which can be pastiched into a continuity of some kind
tangenting to a related topic;
hopefully, this renewed interest in SWMinis,
leads to new... minis. actual physical miniatures, with detail and all...
rather than the plethora of 'counts as' proxy-ing,
which can get quite confusing at times
(proxy-ing is fine; cardboard pepakura stand-ins exist for most anything you can think of,
and are all linked on the how-to thread in the customs section)
people seem to care less about the miniatures themselves,
and more about the statcard -
to the point some use checkers or chess pieces as proxies hehe
or, those paizo goblins/wizkids gremlins as proxies for ewoks -
thatsa nicea proxy hehe
More miniatures = more customising fodder,
and there'll be something cathartic to
making primeverse minis from altverse miniatures parts
the whole point to custom minis is that,
anyone can make them and have a go;
they don't have to be perfect, and it's something you made yourself.
So, it'd be awesome to see how folks make custom minis for the new continuity.
anywho,
thanks all for reading,
and I look forward to seeing
what other customisers or SWMinis-ers? (is that correct nomenclature?)
think on this subject,
more importantly - what new miniatures, and statcards, they come up with
