I finished my second batch of Stormtroopers, so I have enough to play with. Four squads of troopers, 2 units of speeder bikes, a commander, and the heavy blaster. Somewhere around 700 points.

First and Second Squads.

I tried to make a few differences between the first batch and the second. For instance I re-positioned the arms of the squad leaders.

The speeder bike with the rider twisted to fire back was a bit of challenge, but I didn't want two figures in such a memorable pose, so with some cutting and bending, I got the fellow looking forward, although he's still carrying his pistol.

The heavy blaster comes as part of the Snowtrooper contingent, but I didn't want Snowtroopers. Fortunately, I realized that the Stormtrooper squads come with both the DLT-19 blaster and the HH-12 rocket launcher even though you can only deploy one or the other, not both. So basically that gave me two spare stormtroopers. By just swapping out the arms with the Snowtrooper gunners I had by heavy blaster crewed by Stormtroopers.

I posed them in front of some cardstock buildings I made.

Now I just need to get the second batch of Rebels done and I can actually play a game!

Excellent. How did you do those arches for the buildings?

You mean the domes? They are styrofoam balls I got at Michaels, cut in half and painted. I also have a sort of geodesic dome made from cardstock that could be used instead

Great idea for the arm swap on the heavy blaster. I will use that idea.
