Note: I have adjusted the sub time frame for this week, the CCC week ends on the same day of the week, but since we are starting on a Weds instead of a Tues I gave submissions one extra day and lowered the time to vote by ~1 day.

Please note I have 2 really cool ideas for this week. This one is the primary one I had in mind. If, for whatever reason this is inappropriate (you will see shortly, though Id doubt anyone would have an issue with it) please let me know and Ill change it to the 2nd of my cool ideas for the CCC.


With all that out of the way this week, "We have the minis." In this case Im referring to the new minis from Star Wars Imperial Assault. We have stats for a number of them that have come out such as The Inquisitor, and Hera etc. But the challenge for us is to create pieces for the new named characters! Thats right, we have these minis (or at least a good number of us likely do), so lets create some cool new pieces for our game! So, create minis for the named characters in IA that do not exist as pieces within our game. (The named heroes, the named villains: someone like Kayn Somos or Agent Blaise, or Fenn Signis)

Here are some resources:


Wiki for IA
This has good information on many of the expansions and the names of the heroes, some show the cards so you can get a general idea of the archetype of the character

List of all the Rebel Heroes some links with stats but def all have minis:

use in conjunction with to help you get an idea of what the character is all about:
GoodSearchofIACards

Now this is a bit unusual I know. But "we have the minis" why not create stats for them for our game? All of them are unique and should fit their respective factions well. The main goal is to create stats for the unique minis and have some new cool/interesting SA/CE/FAs for them. I feel this is an almost next step to Surf's "who am I" CCC, but this time we have minis representing these new characters as well as names, and some indication of what type of character they are. I myself already have ideas for Gideon Argus!

(P.S. I hope I have explained what this one is about better than the last one I have done ) Edited to make the links work


1. You may update any existing versions you already have and/or create a new one. You may update/create several versions of the character but you must ultimately select 1 you wish to run with. (this must be done by the schedule below)

2. Place a hyperlink in this forum to make it easier to find your character. You can just post the stats or image here but if changes are needed it would be easier (and save space) if you just used a Hyperlink (If you don't know how to post Hyperlinks in a forum setting please ask and we will help you. It's not hard )

3. Voting works as follows, pick your three favorite customs based on accuracy to the character, design, balance or whatever you decide makes the best incarnation of the challenge character. First place receives 3 points, 2nd place receives 2 points, and 3rd place receives 1 point.

4. You do not have to enter the contest in order to vote. But unless you enter you must have at lest 10 forum posts.

5. To make things fair you must vote in order to win the contest. You must choose three characters entered in the contest and you may not rate or vote for your own character.

6. The winner will be decided by how many points they receive. Ties will be broken by most 1st place votes, then if still tied, 2nd place votes and then 3rd place votes. If still tied, then the outcome is a tie.

7. You may not change or update the entered character AFTER the deadline.


You will have until Sun, September 24th, 2017 @8pm EST to get your submissions in. Anything submitted after this point will not be included in the voting.

Voting will start at 8pm on Sunday evening and end at 10pm EST on Monday, September 25th,2017.
At the conclusion of the voting the scores will be tallied and the winner will start a new topic with their choice of theme.

Not even making new pieces from the minis?

You do realize if this isnt going to fly because "i hate IA" then I can change it.

Well if i get no indication of interest by tomorrow night ill change it out. There is usually at least one submission within 24 hours.

neat, IA and Legion are fun stuff to port into SWMinis.

a lot of the IA and Legion minis already have SWMinis stats made,
the ones which don't, and which I'd want to see in SWMinis, are mostly vehicles - and past threads have detailed that many dislike staggered activation for vehicles etc..

for the 'original characters' in IA or Legion, those aren't 'canonical',
they're from an FFG-houseofmouse verse.
so... that's about where I see things at hehe.

droids or aliens, I'm there though

I wouldn't call them "haters". I'd call them "no interest in IAers".

EDIT: It is a fun game and with SWMs you've got lots of pre-painted minis to use, but only in casual play.

hmm... not really a "comfort zone" type thing. more of a limited time thing. How hard will it be to look up the information?

PC strikes again
we dare not make a bold statement, for fear of offending someone.

FYI-haters is just an expression, used by today's youth

PC hater

That's pretty much how I interpret it as well.
