I would buy it.

By Shawn Hantke (Shantke) on Friday, September 11, 2015 - 11:31 am: Edit

An Electronic version would also be nice.

The rules from Last Stand are the corrected rules from Assault.

Not that much stuff was in Captain's Log.

This is the Kzinti Marine Mini I made for Gen Con Scenario "Wretched Orions Stole My Stuff!"
Ground troops that are trying to retrieve their Empire's mcguffin, using SFM rules.

This is the Lyran Marine Mini I made for Gen Con Scenario "Wretched Orions Stole My Stuff!"
Ground troops that are trying to retrieve their Empire's mcguffin, using SFM rules.

This one, unlike the Kzinti above (which I already purchased and can't change it), is still open for input.

Lyran Boarding Party

I love them. Let's cut a production deal. Email me. Ciao

By Gregory S Flusche (Vandor) on Monday, May 27, 2019 - 08:01 am: Edit

COOL

By Randy Blair (Randyblair) on Monday, May 27, 2019 - 08:30 am: Edit

SVC - I can never tell if you are joking...
Sending email soon, nonetheless.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, May 27, 2019 - 09:55 am: Edit

Not joking

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, May 27, 2019 - 10:38 am: Edit

Interesting website, in some ways problematic, in others fascinating. Fun to build a winged Lyran riding a motorcycle.

By Randy Blair (Randyblair) on Monday, May 27, 2019 - 01:51 pm: Edit

Romulan Boarding Party
I hate this one right now.
Looks too elfish.
May just cut off the head and make a more Romulan looking one.

By Randy Blair (Randyblair) on Monday, May 27, 2019 - 01:53 pm: Edit

Yeah, heroforge is cool for people like me who are not artistic in any way whatsoever.
A winged Lyran on a motorcycle is totally doable.

By Randy Blair (Randyblair) on Monday, May 27, 2019 - 02:25 pm: Edit

Orion Thug
These are the punks who are trying to prevent you from achieving your objective.

By Randy Blair (Randyblair) on Monday, May 27, 2019 - 02:30 pm: Edit

Civilian Scientist
These guys have the incriminating evidence and will flee at first opportunity.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, May 27, 2019 - 09:02 pm: Edit

Why does the Romulan have both a rifle AND a shotgun?

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, May 27, 2019 - 09:10 pm: Edit

Unfortunately, the Heroforge system specifically prohibits commercial production or sale.

Maybe something to look into after CL53.

By Randy Blair (Randyblair) on Wednesday, May 29, 2019 - 06:58 pm: Edit

Yeah, like I said, the Romulan needs tons of work.
If I figure out how to kitbash .stl files, maybe I can modify them enough so they can be used by others besides me.

By Patrick H. Dillman (Patrick) on Thursday, May 30, 2019 - 03:26 pm: Edit

Import the .stl files into Blender.

By Lawrence Bergen (Lar) on Saturday, June 01, 2019 - 01:50 am: Edit

I swapped the shoulder pads on the Lyran to have fur out the bottom.

Thought it was funny to replace the shotgun with a bow...not the weapon...a fancy ribbon. Ha!

For the Rom I just added a cool helm.
Headphones made him look like Eminem (...he’s a rapper form Detroit)

These are cool thanks for sharing Randy

By Randy Blair (Randyblair) on Saturday, June 01, 2019 - 09:51 am: Edit

Yeah, that didn't help.
Seems I can't actually edit it.

By Randy Blair (Randyblair) on Saturday, June 01, 2019 - 09:53 am: Edit

That's awesome, Lar.
I like SVC's idea of a Lyran riding a motorcycle.
My first two test prints of the Kzinti marine turned out so badly, I'm going to make counters this year instead.
If the turnout at Gen Con is good enough, I'll make minis for next year.

By Michael Grafton (Mike_Grafton) on Saturday, June 01, 2019 - 12:31 pm: Edit

Randy, you forgot the Lyrans "Energy Cutlass."

Per the canon in "Doomward and the Vortex"

Because it's just cool to have powered hand to hand weapons, as opposed to practical...

By Randy Blair (Randyblair) on Monday, June 03, 2019 - 09:46 pm: Edit

Mike, that will be on the Lyran Commando mini.

By Andrew Schwenzer (Andrew_Cluetain) on Sunday, May 10, 2020 - 10:59 pm: Edit

Not a mini's question but, if I buy just the 2 rule books, will that be enough to get a feel for how the game works?
Here's the logic Behind this idea: I don't need counters or maps (Have plenty from SFB module M (I think, remember this is to 'taste the game') and For tanks I have models, hex maps, and Mechs from being a major BattleTech player.
If I'm fooling my self and I do need the whole module, please let me know and what I over looked. Thanks
PS: Can't wait to see more either 6mm or 15mm SFU Ground stuff

By Shawn Hantke (Shantke) on Monday, May 11, 2020 - 12:56 am: Edit

Module M is for Commando Ships SSDs, Abstract Planetary Assaults and Boarding Party Combat.

Starfleet Marines is for Squad Level Combat. You would need the Hex maps and Counters to play the scenarios. I don't think there is a conversion article or rules yet for using minis for Starfleet Marines.
