"DIY Star Wars 6mm army" Topic

Dan has converted me to the church of granny grating, and this is what I've made:

Nice work! I would hate to paint that small of a figure, but they look great. Clone Wars, anyone?… Cheers!

< shakes head in disbelief > 😦😧😨😩😱🤯

That . . . is incredibly clever.

Sorry Legion, I know this is hard for you 🤣🤣

Cheers guys, can't claim credit for the idea though!

I'll get over it … maybe … 😣😥

And with apologies to Legion for the desecration of all he holds dear, allow me to present The Rebel Scum:

With May the 4th being right around the corner, I've added some vehicles to the teeny tiny Rebel Scum:

(with trigger warning to Legion 4 as always ;-) )

😯 Oh the shame !!!!

Trigger warning as always Legion ;-)

Ahead of the May 4th battle report, allow me to present support infantry E-Web blaster teams and Imperial ATPT walkers!

😱😳🤯

While my compadre has a crisis of confidence about whether or not he can paint… I KNOW I can't! So here is our EPIC Star Wars battle report, Rebels vs Imperials for the Battle Of Outpost 44!

😮

It's that time of year again, and we're breaking out the granny grating for the newest instalment of the saga…

😲🤯😱

Oh, Legion, avert your gaze ;-)

And now to see what happens when our new creations hit the tabletop…

skinflintgames.wordpress.com/2023/05/29/may-the-4th-be-with-you-2023-return-to-outpost-44-another-star-wars-story

It looks very good!

Cheers Valderian, and the price is right ;-)

Yes, good looking game ! [I had to look !]

Cheers Legion! As someone who (I think) holds the gold standard on 6mm, that's quite the compliment :-)

Thank you very much ! I've been doing this long enough, so I eventually got good at it ! 🤩

In which one of the many Great Annual Skinflint Traditions adds some new home made toys to the collection – this time Dark Troopers and more AT-PTs for the Empire, while the Rebel Scum get Han, Chewie, and extra company of infantry, more X-Wings and a flight of Air Speeders, all for the princely sum of about a quid. Enjoy ;-)

And so we begin to assemble the armies for the Great Annual Star Wars Game…

This year's reinforcements so far-

Two companies of stormtroopers:

And some classic 2nd Ed Epic style fortifications:

And stay tuned for something BIG ;-)

More DIY Epic Star Wars Escalation! (Trigger warning Legion 4 ;-) )

😮😯😱

"There"
"My Lord?"

Admiral Piett was a man unaccustomed to taking orders, but the jet-black armoured behemoth in front of him was not an individual to be trifled with. Lord vader jabbed the holomap again.

"At the end of this valley. They have hidden their base and shield generators underground. Nevertheless, I have felt their presence"

The Imperial officers on the bridge looked nervously at each other. Piett cleared his throat.

"My Lord, there are so many unexplored systems in this sector.. perhaps we should wait for more – "

"Enough!"

With a flick of his wrist, Darth Vader vanished the holomap and turned his attention to Piett.

"Make ready my landing party. There will be no one to stop us this time. General Veers, ready your men!"

With a flourish, Vader turned on his heel and marched from the bridge, cape billowing. A sharp and involuntary exhalation of breath from the Imperial officers quickly followed.

_______________

"Here", the Rebel officer said, indicating a ravine on the holomap.

"The geography suits us well – this ravine is almost as deep as Beggars' Canyon back on Tatooine. They can't pinpoint us from orbit, they'll have to attack using ground forces, and the ravine walls will funnel them along this valley. No matter how many they send, there's only so many that will be able to attack at any one time. With the air assets we still have left, we should be able to control the airspace overhead and allow the ion cannon to fire on their ships from cover. "

"Meanwhile, we fortify the approach route, dig in the infantry, use our speeders to harass their flanks.. I can't guarantee victory, General, but this is easily the best location we've surveyed"

The General sighed for a moment, forehead in hands on the table. So many losses over recent months. Rebel forces driven from world to world, Luke in an Imperial prison, now joined by Han and Chewie.. what hope could they realistically have of stemming the Imperial tide? And yet…

And yet they had to. The only hope for light and freedom in the galaxy. This was their last throw of the dice.

"Agreed. We make our stand here"

The officer jumped to attention.

"Yes, General Leia, ma'am!"

It's that time of year again, when I ask Legion 4 to avert his gaze…

And here's what happened when all those asthma inhalers, granny grating and foamboard started shooting at each other…
