So the games could be massive. The contents of each box being 35 models, no problem with assembly as they are snap together. I liked the look of the snow troopers expansion.

I’d love be to be able to. I don’t tend to stop til gone 8-9 at night and by the time I get up together that’s too late to start anything... especially if it’s not arranged in advance. It’s so frustrating. I’ve got open offers of games with 6 different clubs but just no opportunity. Still it won’t always be like that.

I did the unboxing yesterday the cost of the core set is good value at £72. However buying the expansions will cost over twenty quid a pop. So I am drawn to buying a second core set. I would be happy to spitthe contents 50 50. I am drawn to the dark side. So any rebels in the club want to double up at half the price of the expansions let me know.

Just started the imperial force grey primer top coated with a short burst of white leaving some shading. Otherwise too stark. Left the arms off in priming stage to ensure good coverage. Baracades will be green army painter with a heavy tone and rust.

That sounds the best option sir 😊

Will prob be getting my set this weekend and going imperial so if anyone wanting rebels they will be available. I'm also not going to be at the club Monday due to being at a conference in Swindon and prob won't get back till late. Which is annoying

All imperials assembled including daft Aida just the speeders to go. Anyone read the rules for this it's very like x wing.

Bit annoyed that the rules are only the quick start. Well I’ll be printing out the full rules at work... Bought a land speeder and it’s not at the right scale.
Looking forward to painting it all and playing but just a little disappointed....

Doesn’t seem that way. Reading the rules reference online it seems that’s so the online book is live. If the run 1.1 then they don’t run a reprint... So /frownyface I’ve still got a load of stormtroopers and some cool speeder bikes even if I have to fly a mini snowspeeder...

Just started on the Rebels. Assembled the at-rt. very fiddly suspensions, put the legs on first they are different for left and right and take some manuvering to get into place seems easy to paint though. White base and strong tone from the pictures in the book.

I am starting to like the rebels. New expansion just announced rebel commandos still seven figures but the two heavy guns can act as one unit with the rifle unit as a section of five. Also Han Solo as commander interesting as he is so hard to kill he throws troopers to die instead when he gets shot. Also he can shoot two targets at once. Loving this game. Once all painted up, the at-st snow troopers and the above will blow my budget.

I just bought the at-st. A whacking 195 points to field before any extras. Played Pete in a demo game today. Fast and bloody, imperials better at defence than shooting rebels other way round. Need loads of scenery.
