In the autumn, I bought a Star Wars themed game of Risk because it looked to contain a bunch of fighters as game tokens. I figured the game would suck (it is Risk, after all) but the tokens would be worthwhile.
To my surprise, the game (which focuses on the Battle of Endor) actually looks good, using cards to drive action on three separate tracks (shield generator, space battle, and throne-room duel). I'm keen to play but first I need to paint the figures!
There are three types of rebel ships (B, Y and X wings) that are molded in hard plastic. A bit of spray prime, some detailing, and a wash and voila, a pretty decent fleet. These are pretty small (like 3-4mm scale) but perfect for all sorts of gaming. If I was going to use them for different rules, I would probably base the X-wings.
I still have a bunch of Tie fighters to paint (they are primed but are fiddly as they have no bases to hold onto) and I'd also like to replace a few of the paper tokens with proper models.
