My painted minis
nice work! where are the non-IA minis from?
Boba is from the knight's models' line.
RGC, Han, Imp officer, IG88, the rebel troopers and the scout troopers on the AT-ST base are all repainted star wars minis from WOTC.
The saboteurs use rebel bodies and Duros heads scavenged from WOTC and repainted.
When the models are released I will buy those if for no other reason than for the cards and because WOTC figs were not the greatest sculpts, even after repainting, but they allow me to use them in game until then. When Boba Fett releases I will have to judge which mini is better as the knights models stuff was very good quality metal models.
Edited by StromboliLooking good!
I think I'm firmly in the 'no base texture' camp for my IA, but your finished bases look great.
Always upset that I missed purchasing the 28mm Knight SW stuff whenever I see it. Hope we see another company get the rights for boutique metals or resins.
I picked up some of the WOTC stuff as filler this weekend, and a buddy of mine has the WEG Han Solo and some other bits and pieces until the expansions come in.
Nicely done. I'm very jealous of your Boba Fett. I also regret not having some of the Knight stuff now, but at the time, paying boutique prices for Star Wars minis just wasn't a priority for my hobby dollars.

Your Boba Fett looks great. Absolutely phenomenal.
If it were me, I'd just use some of the fringe faction Duros from WOTC's line for the Saboteurs, rather than mixing and matching parts. That is, if I hadn't lost the tub that had my fringe (and Empire) minis somewhere along the way. That loss still chafes me. I had a lot of cool stuff between those two factions. Lots of bounty hunters, creatures, and generic spacers that would have been great for an Edge of the Empire campaign. Not to mention all the cool Imperial stuff. A couple different versions of Vader, a Palpatine, all kinds of different troopers. Oh well.
When Fett releases, I will likely just buy it for the cards as I find it hard to believe that ffg's plastic model will come close to the knights metal.
I regret not getting the knights Han model. It was amazing.
