You can read the other Battle Reports here:

Storming The Rebel Base

Bounty Hunting

Today 2 fellow Watford Club mates played the rival forces and I'm GM'ed where needed.

Scenario:

With the Rebel Base fallen and many Rebels fleeing or dead there leaves only 1 course of action.. Hunt down and capture/slay those remaining.

Boba leads a force of Bounty Hunters and Stormtroopers while Han tries to escape with the remaining Rebels.

The Rebels gain 1 point for each Rebel that escapes and 5 points for Han Solo.

The Empire gain 1 point for each dead Rebel and 5 points for Han Solo.

WEG Star Wars - Battle Report ''Storming the Rebel Base''

Storm the Rebel Base

The skies darken over ZAN IV as the Imperial Dropships break the atmosphere above. 

First to set foot with the Vanguard was General Veers and the 2 notorious Bounty Hunters Boba Fett & Big Bertha. 

Today will see much bloodshed...

So last night we played the 2nd battle in the ongoing Star Wars campaign set on ZAN IV.

The first Battle ''Bounty Hunting'' (Broken into 2 parts) can be viewed HERE and HERE.

The Empire has found Han Solo hiding out on a Rebel Training Base on ZAN IV and after a failed Bounty Hunting mission by Boba Fetthas descided to bring in the full force of the Empire to both wipe out the Base and bring Commander Solo in, dead or alive it matters not.

WEG - Star Wars - Mon Calamari Commandos & Admiral Ackbar

It's a Trap!

Just a quick posting today and a break from Fimir postings back to some Star Wars action, this time some Mon Calamari led by Admiral Ackbar.

WEG Star Wars - Battle Report ''Bounty Hunting'' Pt.2 The Pew Pewing!

Bounty Hunting

So boys and girls (At the very least boys with moobs) it's time for a Battle Report from you favourite Chico.. 

No! Not him Me!

Ahem...

Anyway Pt.1 detailing the forces used can be read HERE

Darth Vader: There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millennium Falcon. You are free to use any methods necessary but I want them alive - no disintegrations! 

Boba Fett: As you wish. 

This is a non-cannon game based on a possible alternative story arc. Boba has tracked Solo down to a backwater planet of  ZAN IV. 

ZAN IV has a small Rebel base used as a training grounds for new and rather green Rebels and as such is rather limited in it resources and Blasters. Boba is also only leading a scouting force of Stormtroopers and as such are also lightly equipped

Roy Fett leading The Empire

WEG Star Wars - Battle Report ''Bounty Hunting'' pt.1 The Forces

So tonight at my local gaming club (Watford Wargaming Federation) I'm getting to play a game of SWMB2 for the first time and with another willing victim.. er ..er opponent.

Now as its our first time (Cue candles and mood lighting) we are keeping it small and somewhat easy as I'm also providing both sides and I hate playing with unpainted toys I just went with what I had all ready painted and rushed a couple more Rebels though to even the odds.

WEG Star Wars - Dark Jedi WIP

Still taking a little break from SAGA painting but didn't feel like going outside to spray some more WEG Star Wars (I live in a top flat and have to spray need a pavement, which is not ideal).

Anyway a nice package turned up from Ebay today while I was at the Dr's about my on going eye problems containing a few WEG minis and the WEG Imperial Entanglements rulebook (Yay for dirty cheap buy too).

I've always found the 2 Sith rule restrictive in SW cannon, but reading into the EU (Expanded Universe) I found 3 temping get out clauses (There are more but I liked these options).

1: Use Darth Maul and his brother Savage Opress (A Nightbrother who became a Sith Lord). Maul survived being sliced into 2 and carried on despite Darth Sidous choosing a new apprentice.

2: Run with a pair of Dark Force or rival Sith users outside of the Bane's ''Lords of the Sith''

3: Dark Jedi, Jedi turned to the Darkside for power and glory.

WEG Star Wars - ''Force'' update

''Force'' Update

Oh the puns are strong with me! And you love it you tart!

Have no fear the WEG Star Wars project is alive and well and I've just been busy painting up other toys and been a wee bit sick. But I still been buying and trading for them an now sitting on a small horde of WEG figures. Highlights include 30 odd Stormtroopers, all the main cast, The Emperor & some Royal Guard and much much more.

Anyway heres whats painted so far, except the Imperial Droid which got missed out the pictures.. no doubt pretending he was a Assassin Droid and hiding.

The Empire: Darth & 501st Stormtroopers

WEG Star Wars - Luke & Rebel Troopers, Plus more Stormtroopers

Progress continues on the 2 SWMB forces with the Rebellion gaining both Luke and a small squad of Rebel Troopers.

Nice little figures if a tad fiddly to paint, you may also noticed I changed their uniform to one which I prefer, ohhh I'm such a Rebel (Get it? hehe) not painting everything to cannon

WEG Star Wars - More Stormtroopers, Boba Fett & Chewbacca

So dispite being distracted by new and tasty pictures of the WIP Evil Space Dorf  greens, progress on my Star Wars.. addiction? continues.

First 5 501st ''Vaders Fist'' Stormtroopers are finished along with Boba Fett and Chewie, both were used to break up painting the white. While painting white isn't too bad it still takes awhile.

WEG Star Wars - Darth Vader, 501st Stormtroopers & Han Solo

It's been all go the last few days painting the WEG goodies I've been getting in trades/sales, as it's all been coming in piecemeal I've been choosing bits to paint almost at random.

But I have finished a few bits and I'm quite pleased with them, gaming standard is the key here for not going crazy painting a smaller scale then most my chosen Sci Fi (Too be fair though I have done alot of 6mm, 15mm and 20mm so you'd think I be used to painting small by now eh?)

Darth Vader & 2 Stormtroopers of the 501st ''Vaders Fist''

WEG Star Wars - Leia & IC-UP Imperial Droid

Yesterday I had a chance to paint up a couple of WEG figures, these just happens to be a couple of bonus figures I received in a trade and as such were the first to get honoured with a paint job.

First up is Leia on Bespin and  Imperial Droid IC-UP

WEG Star Wars - The Return of the Empire Strikes Back

“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...” 

“For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace & justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times... before the Empire. A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down & destroy the Jedi Knights. Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force.”

And now Chico's going to destroy all the fluff and background you love for his own needs by gaming/playing with them in the ways I feel.. so none of this ''Such and Such was on Planet X, so they couldn't be on Planet Y and battle'' It'll all be in a alternative universe much like my Judge Dredd games/settings
