| Star Wars Miniatures | The Star Wars Miniatures collection offers a great board game that doesn't require too much time or space to play. The miniatures are also exactly the right size for use with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, which I would highly recommend. The old roleplaying system was made by West End Games, which I haven't tried.

Great Expansion Set January 15, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
"Bounty Hunters" is the sixth expansion set in the Star Wars Miniatures Universe, which started with the Rebel Storm Starter set back in September, 2004 (see more about the minis game itself in my addendum below). There are 60 different figures in this set. These are "huge packs," so each booster comes with seven durable, pre-painted figures (including one rare OR one very rare figure), one of which will be a large OR very large figure.
The first thing I look for in any expansion set are how many characters I recognize from the movies (vs. those that appeared only in the books). I am particularly interested in figures from the original trilogy, and am happy to say there are at lest 25 figures from the original trilogy in this set. Some are very interesting variations of figures released in previous sets (for example, Luke Skywalker, Dagobah and Princess Leia, Hoth Commander), some are simply more powerful versions of earlier figures (for example, Chewbacca with C-3PO, Han Solo Scoundrel, Boba Fett and most of the other bounty hunters), but some have never been released before (for example, Bib Fortuna, Garindan, and Zuckuss just to name a few). Notably, there are even a few great new common and uncommon figures from the original trilogy in this set (for example, Rebel Captain, Rebel Heavy Trooper, Snowspeeder, Gamorrean Thug, Tusken Raider Sniper, and Weequay Leader)
Further, though I am not a big fan of the prequel, there are several figures from these movies as well (say +/-10 - with one of the best being the new version of Jango Fett). The rest are either from the books, or generic/minor characters that I have never seen or heard of before.
In sum, this is perhaps the best expansion set for those interested in the original trilogy since Rebel Storm was first released in 2004 (with the Universe expansion set being a close second in this regard). Those who like the Star Wars minis game and those who use the figures for the Star Wars RPG will likely be very happy with this set.
ADDENDUM: (Please note that I include this addendum at the end of all my Star Wars minis reviews, so if you've read it before, there is no need to read it again.) If you want to play the Star Wars minis game as it was designed to be played, it is best to have at least one starter (each starter comes with game instructions, a map, a D20, terrain tiles that are very helpful and add great variety to the game, and more). I like the Rebel Storm Starter the best because it's from the classic era/trilogy, but the Clone Strike and Revenge of the Sith starters from the newer movies will also work. If you don't want to invest in a starter, you can also get one of the three "Ultimate Missions" books, as each comes with a double sided map and a few smaller terrain tiles (again, I like the Rebel Strom Ultimate Missions book the best because it is also from the classic era/trilogy). Or, you can buy the "Attack on Endor" scenario pack, which comes with TWO double sided maps (in addition to a scaled AT-ST that is fully usable in play). The main point here is that you'll need some type of map/grid. If you don't want to buy a Star Wars one, generic ones are also available at most gaming stores (you can use your imagination to set the scene, or draw terrain with an erasable marker right on the grid). Of course, the minis are also useful for the roleplaying game (RPG) - in which case you may not need a starter or map, but will likely need the "Core Rulebook" instead. Finally, they are just fun to collect for those who like all things Star Wars!

So I'm torn on...
wether Mira is any good. At first I was glad I pulled her because I like bounty hunters, but I'm torn as to wether she's any good. What do you guys think?
Separatist Squad
I don't know anyone who collects SWM but me. I have some squads I put together for an occational game with a friend. The last time (second) we played we played Separatists and Republic. As Separatist I got my hat handed to me. I'm trying to find a good squad but am having difficulty.
The...
ok I have a custom Rules question.
I have been thinking about making a custom Ponda Baba post Cantina. I was going to mod it and have his arm cut off and on the base of the model. Now the question is Is this a legal DCI custom?
Rakghoul Disease
I just what to be sure.
The Save 11 is ONLY for the extra Damage, NOT for the mutation. Right?
So if I kill an ugnaught it will Automatically change into a Rakghoul.
Han STA & Garm's CE
If Boba merc was in a squad with Garm and Han STA, can boba move 6 squares and still use double attack because of Garm's CE? Personally i think he can't but there is no harm in asking.
Doesn't general Wedge Antillies look like the fonz from happy days?
We all know Mira is the hottie Bounty Hunter of the KOTOR set, but General Wedge Antillies is the fonz. New nickname General Fonz Antillies!
Reign of the Fetts (200 pts)
Guess what, General Wedge found his way into another squad. I'm sure your all sick of seeing him. Without further ado, here is the 200 point lineup:
Boba Fett, Mercenary 58
Jango Fett, Bounty Hunter 56
Garm Bel Iblis 45
General Wedge Antilles 23
General Dodonna 9
Uggie Demo 3 x 3 = 9
Garm's...
Force Sense, one or all enemies?
Hello I have a question
If you activate Force Sense does it affects all characters or only one character? what range?
Taris Map
Over at theforce.net, there is a writeup on the seminar and a picture of the infamous Taris map for those who have not seen it. It was given out on the back of the KOTOR poster, but will see wider distribution in the forth coming league sets.

40-Figure Sets = 1 figure per preview?
Because the set have been reduced to 40. Does this mean that we will only have 1 figure per preview?
Because 7 previews with 2 figures per is 14. Nearly half the set! Would WOTC give out nearly half their set in just their previews?
Gotal Mercenary
So is true that if the Gotal Mercenary can make an attack from it's starting space, that it cannot use Intuition at the beginning of the round? I'm not 100% of this. Thanks in Advance.
New Player!
Hey Fellow Jedi and Force Users alike! I have just started playing minis. I have collected them for along time for RPG but decided to play for the real game. Any hints and tips? I want to become the best just like I am in Magic! No one can beat me in magic, my boyfriend and I play it all the time...
Master/Apprentice tournament (Sith)
Not sure if this has beendone before but I have constructed a list of notable sith masters and aprrentices that have minis and would like to see who you guys think is the best Master/Apprentice combo IN MINIS NOT STAR WARS CANNON
The rules are
-both minis must be on a dark side faction or fringe
-...
Pack kharma at work....
I think it is safe to say that most of us here at the SWM forum believe in pack kharma. For those of you that dont know, it is essentially the belief that you will eventually pull something good from a pack when you have a streak of garbage pulls. It is what makes buying packs worthwhile when...
Sith Squads, which is the best???
Okay so heres a few attampts at Sith Squads lmk what u think... I'd appreciate any help given... thanks in advance to any who do.
Squad 1:
200 pts. 13 activations
49 Darth Malak, Dark Lord of the Sith
37 Aurra Sing
20 Sith Trooper Captain
13 Czerka Scientist
KOTOR pulls thread
Bought 6 boosters today. Got:
Master Lucien Draay
Carth Onasi
Darth Sion
T3-M4
Captain Panaka
Bao-Dur
Not bad for only 6 boosters. What else did everyone get?
Cortosis Gauntlets
With my terrible memory, I forgot the ruling and couldn't find any posts on it, so I have to ask. When does the -20 Damage take place when a character attacks? Can it deal 20 damage on a crit? Or is the character considered to have a Damage rating of 0?
Squeezing
Can a huge character pass threw a wall (squeeze) when there is a wide area of 3 square ? Basicaly, can you squeeze when you could pass threw the wide opening ?
Holo Veers and the Gen Con experience
Here is my report from what happened at Gencon.
I was the guy who played in the Masters with Holo Veers.
Thrawn
Mas
Holo Veers
Felucian ST Officer
Piett
2x uggs
Luck isn't on my side - KotOR Pulls
So between GenCon, Borders, and 2 LGS/LCS I've bought/received 22 boosters. I've netted:
5 Zaynes
3 T3-M4
3 Han Solo, Smuggler
2 Wedges
2 Leias
So I'm definitely not happy about all the Zaynes. I swear, if I pull another in my upcoming cases I'm half tempted to melt/pitch/flush/launch...
