Took son to Fall In and he bought some 25mm metal Star Wars figures and wants to game with them "if" I paint them, which I will since it keeps him off of the computer/XBox etc.. So what rules are out there that he can use? Through looking around TMP I have seen Blasters & Bulkheads, FAD, FUBAR, Galactic Heroes. Anything else? Help is appreciated. |

Depends on how many he has. I would think that 40K would actually be a pretty good rule set for Star Wars. If he doesn't have that many then Necromunda would probably work well too. |

I believe he got a deal of 25 figures. I'm new to Sci Fi. Thank you. |

Larry – are these the Grenadier figures for the WEG game? I have some more I was going to ebay if you are interested. Probably about 20+ or so. |

Blasters & Bulkheads is good and my rules of choice. |

Fubar for Star Wars is a good start. I have a Hoth specific set that I am working on expanding to Droids and small unit actions on board capital ships. I combined a lot of information and ideas from Star Wars Miniature Battles by West End Games, SWMB the collectable game, FUBAR, and several other SI-Fi rules out there. All and all when someone asks where to start I usually point them to FUBAR Star Wars.

If you can find them West End Games did the Star Wars Miniatures game and it is a lot of fun. |

OK Thanks guys I'll keep hunting. @Ghostrunner, they are 25mm metal, have the date of 1987 and Lucas on the bottom. They were loose figures he picked out of a box. Thats about all I know of them. |

I'll second the West End Games game. It was a good game, fairly easy with a good amount of detail to it. It captured skirmish gaming very well and handled heroes as well as common grunts very well. |

the actual STARWARS MINIS game was pretty fun. D20 based, played like D&D minis but with guns, and stupidly easy for forces upto and including a few dozen figures per side. link I have a bunch of the maps, figures, rules books, and stat cards. MULTIPLE sets of the rules from the "starter boxes". Would be willing to sell/trade off anything but my clone/stormtrooper horde… My email is my username here @gmail.com |
