I wasn't sure where to put this in the forum, but the minis look great for this Warhammer 40k board game: http://boardgamegeek.com/image/2454326/forbidden-stars?size=original Includes four races: "...the Ultramarines chapter of Space Marines, the Eldar of Craftworld Iyanden, the Evil Sunz Ork clan, or the World Eaters Warband of the Chaos Space Marines" Here's a preview video showing more of the miniatures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jdHgh2LCNI |

cant view BGG as that the page needs a login, but from the vid it looks like some of the ground based minis might be epic scale-able?! hellbrute probably oversized, but the battlewagon might fit? great gargant would be a cool stompa, mini phantom an eldar knight … |

yeah looks like an enjoyable game. can't wait till the boys are older to play stuff like this (have all the original GW boardgames stored for that eventual day) |

It seems to have similarities with the FFG Starcraft game which I seem to recall provided an enjoyable play. |

If you link to one of the smaller sizes it'll be visible to everyone: http://boardgamegeek.com/image/2454326/forbidden-stars Lovely minis but for us there's the usual boardgame issue of the playing pieces not being in scale with each other. They'll sell a bunch if some of the pieces are compatible with Epic... |

Thanks, I've been a BGG user since 2003/4 but wasn't aware you had to log in to view larger images. |

Not to hijack the thread but I saw some pictures posted this morning on TGN;      http://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/photos-of-forbidden-stars-game-from-gama/ I guess it depends on the size and material of the plastic if they can be used in any form for 6mm...The eldar stuff looks reasonably promising (phantom as an updated knight?) the flags seem like they'd be pretty good as objective markers too. |

As expected, the Titans are too small for use as what they're supposed to represent, but there's a ton of useful stuff in there! |

The hellbrute is about the correct size. You might be able to do something with the rest of the parts. Seems like an interesting game the more I read. I'd do 50 or 55ish. 70 is just too steep |

It's really hard to know with these games what the mechanics are from just looking. I didn't see anything that would appeal to me in terms of actually playing that game over others, but the minis sure are pretty regardless of the scale they are in. |

Looks to me like something between Starcraft and Twilight Imperium with a 40k flavour! Only the "medium" units from each faction look like 6mm scale (falcon, land raider, hellbrute etc.) with the hellbrute being the best candidate I guess! |
