Star Wars Rebellion: Rise of the Empire

Rise of the Empire is an expansion for Star Wars: Rebellion, offering more toys and, importantly, an improved replacement of the original's clunky combat system. It brings in a lot of units and characters from Rogue One.

The Empire

Interdictor-class Star Destroyers

Occupier Assault Tanks (with a horrible underslung turret...)

TIE Strikers

Shield Bunkers

The Rebellion

Nebulon-B frigates

U-Wings

Pathfinders

DF.9 Turrets

Rise of the Empire

Star Wars Rebellion- the rebels

I finished painting Star Wars: Rebellion- here are the Rebels!

Rebel Troopers

Airspeeders

Ion Cannons and Shield Generators

X-Wings

Y-Wings

Transports

Corvettes

Cruisers

Here's the whole collection- the Rebels are significantly outnumbered and outgunned by the Empire.

Star Wars: Rebellion

I have played two games with my freshly painted troops- both times as the Rebels. I lost one and won one. Here's a couple of in-game shots:

Board at set-up

Luke tries to rescue Obi-Wan

Vader crushes the hidden base on Endor

Star Wars Rebellion- Imperial ground forces

My first entry for the AHPC VII is part of the boardgame Star Wars: Rebellion. I'll finish it over the next few weeks, then I'll aim to get a game in! Boardgames with painted minis are that much better than unpainted... but it can be a slog.

Anyway, I started with the Empire's ground units. There are four AT-ATs, ten AT-STs, and thirty stormtroopers. Somewhat monochrome, but the walkers are quick to paint and getting the stormtroopers out of the way is a psychological hurdle.

I calculated the Stormtroopers at ~15mm, the AT-ATs at 1:700ish, and the AT-STs at 1:500ish.

More next time!
