So I started playing Star Wars RPGs back with Saga Edition back when WotC had the licence and back then minis were important to showing where people were for the effects of abilities and stuff so I do have a bunch of those. Now, with FFG's cinematic combat, they aren't as important but I was still looking to get some new minis for my player's characters they as I figure they'd make for a good gift for my groups for the holidays. I looked at some previous threads and I didn't see anything on the subject recently. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm surprised there isn't a Star Wars equivalent to Heroforge or some options on there for Star Wars. It doesn't help I have a pretty wide array of species to cover as well.
My Parties are as follows:
(Party1)
Bothan Trader
Mirialan Slicer
Kel Dor Soldier
Chandra-Fan Seeker
Togruta Sentinel
(Party 2)
Pantoran Seeker
Human Diplomat
Trandoshan Bounty Hunter
Human Consular
Zabrak Consular
Thanks for any replies in advance!
Star Wars Minis?
I've been getting my Star Wars minatures from Minaturemarket
I personally make big maps for my encounters and have minis for the enemies and my players. My players love it. Nothing like having a huge acklay mini stomp across the battlefield.
There are two Bothan figures I have. One holds a rifle the other a Thermal Detonator.
Havent seen Mirilian.
There is a kel dor bounty hunter figure. Not sure about those other two. But you can also get Zabrak, Humans, Trandoshans and I use a Chiss Bounty Hunter for my Pantoran player

I used to go all out with big battles back in Saga Edition where players were basically untouchable when built optimally, so I could throw armies at them and they'd shrug it off. Now with minion mob rules and the narrative dice system, players are way more fragile (even if actually killing them requires a crit) so I've found I tend to shy away from larger combats, but positioning is still a valuable tool when I can make use of it. Also since there aren't attacks of opportunity or the like, I am way more inclined to include hazards and useful things on the battlefield for them to use, to give players who aren't as keyed in on combat as others something to do.
But I will definitely check out Miniature Market, as well as see which of my old minis I can re-purpose.
It can be a challenge but if you have something in mind, you can normally find a couple random figs that can be chopped up to make the one you want. Just depends on the costs of the initial ones. Adding lightsabers is pretty easy as there are several under $2 jedis available but when looking for more custom, it may get expensive, $5-10 per mini when needing 3 different ones for what you want.

1) look at trollandtoad.com.
2) if you can't find what you want, pm @Tramp Graphics and ask him to customize a mini for you, how it's worked for me is I email character art to Mike Trampert, he picks out a base mini, I buy that mini and have it shipped to Mike in Buffalo NY, he customizes it, he emails proof pics, I pay him $20 through PayPal, and he mails the mini to me in Albuquerque NM. Tramp and I argue like an old married couple but he does top notch work when it comes to modding minis. He's a self employed graphic artist who has been hungry for work.
If anyone is interested. I am looking to sell my Separatist army miniature collection from the Wizards of the Coast Line. I have a decent amount of droids and other Separatist figures.
-B 1 droids
- B2 droids
-Commando Droids
- A grievous miniature
- Trade Federation Figures
-Genoshans
- IGN Magna Droid
-Technocratic Union figure
-San Hill (I"m not sure if I want to sell that one. But I would consider it.
Some of the more fragile one are coming apart, but the majority of them are in good condition.
