the snail tank is now fully assembled and yes the antennas are supposed to be at slightly different angles.

WOW!!
These are cool kits!! This will give WH40K a run for its money in my honest opinion and I used to play and build 40K. Those appear to be well detailed and crisp.
Probably just like Wammy, you will need to spend another fortune on the manuals and codex’s. What is not to like?
Thank you for sharing!
@The_Snowman Gavin it’s different from WH 40K in that you don’t have to buy new rule books every few years, the rules are available to print/download and it’s a living document that gets updated with new rules and you don’t have to pay for the original rules or the updates.

David thank you for your posts and insight on these, I’ve been toying with getting some just to paint as I don’t know anyone or anywhere near me who play this but have always love Star Wars.

These are my sentiments exactly. I don’t really care about the game, but the minis look really good, and being 1/48 scale they would work with some Bandai Star Wars offering as well…

Mario, just my thoughts. I think after the Christmas and New Year holidays are over (well not for me as I’m working) I’ll get myself some clone troopers, Rex and an ARC squad, may have a go at painting them up like ‘Bad Batch’.

if I recall correctly their about 1/46 but don’t quote me on that.
if you have a steam account you can download “table top simulator” and there are mod packs to download star wars legion and you can play against people over the internet.
you can find helpful videos on YouTube.
Nice finish! 
Looks like the commander has a pint Naboo Brew

David nice tank, anyway after looking at your builds I had a look around and found a wargame shop/club 12 miles away, so armed with the postcode I visited the shop and well this happened!
Two squads of Phase I clone troopers from the core set with the crew of a BARC speeder plus a squad of Phase II clone troopers. Now to get painting.
I’ll start my own thread in the Wargaming section.
Happy New Year everyone

@Littorio yep I should’ve put this thread in the war gaming section but I forgot all about it.
I got this for Christmas:
@MoramarthT ah so you’re an empire player then lol

Picked up one of those as well together with Yoda, Anakin and Republic specialists.
Love clone troopers, at least they can hit targets unlike Stormtroopers who can’t hit a barn door at two paces.
Don’t have Steam as I don’t have a PC only an iPad.
It’s worse than that, I was welcoming @Littorio to the Even Darker Side; Wargaming (I can’t recall him having expressed a previous interest in table top miniatures gaming). At the very least a welcome to the ranks of those unfortunates who buy wargaming models simply because they like building them. There’s that much refined plastic out there now one could do a reasonably detailed diorama on a base the size of a postcard. Note that if you want to dabble but not buy whole boxes of figures some manufacturers will sell individual frames/sprues albeit at a small premium:

Tom, if you look on the wargame section you’ll see my posts of 40K space marines. I also had a stint as news editor in the early days of Sci-fi / wargaming sections ‘new’ Kitmaker sites but using my iPad to do the editing was a pain especially doing the pictures. If I get a laptop/Macbook I may pick that up again, need to get something as my iPad no longer supports the latest OS.
As a side note I played wargames back in the late 80’s - Navwar, 40K, Fantasy battle, Mechwarrior, Epic, Man-O-War, Space Fleet, Babylon 5 and a few others I can’t remember the names of.
Been looking at Warlord games Blood Red Skies, Victory at Sea and the Epic American Civil War or Waterloo games as I’d like to add something historic not Sci-fi / fantasy. I need to visit the shop I found as they said they can run a demo game for anything they stock as long as I let them know before hand.

My Bad - Sorry! I checked your profile but not your posting history. I’m more a lapsed wargamer myself.
That was about my peak too, used WRG rules from the early '70s, was fairly active into the '90s but had pretty much given up by the turn of the century. I still visit the local clubs to see what’s going on but can’t seem to build up any enthusiasm for what’s currently popular there (mostly Games Workshop).
Cheers,
M

No problem Tom, I haven’t played a game since around the mid - late 90’s myself but have sort of kept a distant eye on the scene until covid hit then I started building a 40k army, however I’m looking for something other than GW and being a Star Wars fan when I came across David’s thread that was it.
Bit weird as when I was looking for news items beginning of last year for wargames I never came cross Star Wars Legion, I had seen Armada but I’m put off by the fact of the price and they are already painted.
Your link to Warlord games took me to a page I’d not found before where you can by individual sprues, I think I’ll pick up an ACW command sprue just to see how I get on painting them.
