Just shooting the s**t and I know there's copy right and all but. Star wars the models!

Set between new hope and Empire SB.

Or can you make look alike storm troopers and such?

I'm not just talking rebels and empire, many more armies out and about.  (Ewok army mo fo!)

EWOKS - HE WANTS EWOKS !!!!![/size]

Find thi man a Doctor quickly, he'll be asking for Tribbles next.

No I want a army of storm troopers led by vader himself!

However, don't underestimate Ewoks. The empire fell due to thos little dudes! Think about it, it was a trap... The empire knew that the rebels would try to take the shield generator and had a ambush ready. After the ambush the fleet would find the shield up and would be unable to engage.

The Empire decided that the Ewoks were of no significant risk and due to this ignorance the Reble and Ewok alliance managed to destroy the ambushing force, turn off the SG and the Deathstar ii was destroyed.

I believe that Lucas takes its IP very seriously, so probably you'll never get your 10mm stormtrooper army.

BUT you might get by with a natty paint job on the new Sci-Fi troopers.

... And all those innocent contractors brought in to do the job were killed â€" casualties of a war they had nothing to do with.

Yeah, 10mm sci fi. That's what I like a 10mm its hard to prove copyright on such little guys!

Something 'similar'....but different enough to avoid problems with IP ....would be possible with the storm troopers (maybe).
Only if Leon was interested though !
But that nice Mr Vader is just SO individual I would imagine Mr Lucas would be rather interested if he found out.
Just my two pees worth.

PS....Have I got this right ?.....Ian wants me to make some 'tribbles'.

Great, an opponent for my Lemmings!

No I dont want Tribbles.... I was suggesting that if Ewoks appeared then we might get tribbles, probably with silly brass 'ats and lots of feathers.

Tribbles in tarletons? Nah, that's silly!


























Tribbles wear picklehaubes!

I had a Tribble once.  It died...

'Space Battles' would be excellent, but the IP battle risk is an issue.

I really don't see a problem with 'near enough' stuff though.

Generic 'space armoured' chaps painted white at 10mm would be perfectly acceptable.  It'll be the iconic stuff like AT-ATs and so on that will be a problem.

However, there's absolutley nothing to stop you using existing ranges for 'Star Wars'.  E.g. there's a good alternate history range in 'WWII Star Wars' or 'Steam punk Star Wars'...

The big sci fi thing i've got bubbling under is Firefly...mixing up ACW/wild west/sci-fi and WWII should do it.

So....That's a tribble in a picklehaub to go then.....I'll get straight on with it while I'm doing that nice Mr Galtieri....Erm....Some other bloke.

I think we are moving away from the point a little. 

Everyone knows an ee'wok is a cooking implement used by chinese takeaways in Yorkshire. 

Beam me up Scotty!

Id be up for some "Not" stormtroopers, "NOT" Clonetroopers, and "NOT" trade fed Droids.

Ewoks, hmmmmm let me think.......NAAAAAAAH, What old Georgie boy was thinking when he came up with them is anyones guess.

A "not" Daft Dader would be good, but he has such a recognisable look, it would be a lot worse than the EE (GW that is) legal team knocking on your door, my mate years ago had to contact the Lucas legals about a live action Star wars theme park type experience to get a licence and It didnt go down well.

Maybe getting some official licenced figs done, not sure how much it would cost though, mind you it could be a real money spinner, the only 10mm official star wars minis in the world, the fans would cream themselves....

Wasn't there some 1:144th Star Wars stuff I saw somewhere ages ago?
