Star Wars minis?
I've been hankering to play Star Wars again. I've been working on homebrew, writing WAY to ambitious of a story, and putting all my X-Wing and Armada minis on standby.
I've always been a theater of the mind GM, but in recent years, my players have requested a little more visual aid. I use Ultimate Dungeon Terrain (the circle platform that Professor DM talks about) for some abstract visuals, and I 3D print bits of stage settings. But I've never really used character minis.
Now, we have messed around with X-Wing/Armada minis just got fun, and used them a bit when we played the FFG SW:RPG, but none of us ever really got into legion, and I don't really care to paint minis and assemble them anyway.
So, what do folks here do? I've been looking at buying stuff on eBay, or maybe commissioning stuff to be painted, but after 5 years of working my but off, going to school, getting licenses and certificates and specialized training, my work is offering me a 20k pay cut... Things are going to have to get tighter until I find a new job (cause I don't plan to keep working as hard as I have been for a lot less money).
Personal trouble aside, I'm looking for ideas. I've honestly thought about just doing 3mm cubes, but minis would look cool.
Thoughts?
