Star Wars
Since WotC acquired the rights for the Star Wars RPG they have also brought out some minis and very recently the Star Wars Miniatures game. A streamlined D20 mini game that played well enough to get me interested.
The minis are nicer then the old West End minis (at least IMO).
See:
That does not stop me from painting even some of the old WEG minis!
A lot of people have asked me how I repaint the minis. If I remove the prepaint etc. I am not stripping the paint entirely, on particular thick areas I am scratching the paint away and most of the time I remove the mold lines. Then a thourough rub with a paint thinner to remove all grease and stuff. After that a coat of matt varnish that my colours are better sticking. That's it.
The Master Yoda repaint. While painting the mini I realised how good this particular mini is sculpted. 2 thumbs up WotC for this one!
Wookie Commando Conversion
The conversion is based on the Wookie Commando from the Clone strike expansion. It is a simple weapon swap. I cut the weak Axe away and replaced it with a GW Power Axe and a plastic rod.
