Adam Paints Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Had a quick search on the forum with no luck. But I have a commision coming to paint the entire starcraft board game. Has anyone got experience with it or got any pics? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) I didn't even realize there was such a game that was released. Neat. First and foremost, trying searching for "Starcraft: The Board Game", as that will pull up more hits in Google. I suspect it's the space causing an issue. It was created by Fantasy Flight Games. The Wikia fandom page about it has some info, as well as a few pics, but the best place to look for pictures would probably be on eBay, where several listings have some fairly decent photos on there. ....Of unpainted minis, but still. Thankfully, the game follows similar designs as the actual computer real time strategy game, so technically searching for the unit's name (say, for example, Terran Battlecruiser, Protoss Carrier, Zerg Mutalisk, etc) will hopefully pull up more info. You'll want to look at just Starcraft (the first one), Starcraft: Brood Wars (expansion for first game), or Starcraft Remastered (a full HD remaster of the original game, that plays just like the original) as those will have the closest artwork - Starcraft II / Starcraft 2 / SCII / SC2 has a rather different look to it's art. EDIT: Spoiler Can't resist adding this.... LIiiiive for the Swaaarrrrrrrm. ....We require more pylons. ...We require more vespian gas!

There's no true Protoss equivalent, and the Zerg replacements are... I dunno. They're missing Hydralisks and Mutalisks. Y'know, the friendly "I so want one as a pet" cute ones. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be really nice to have 28mm scale protoss figures. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werkrobotwerk Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I have this game and it's expansion. I have not painted mine because the minis are tiny and have very little detail. Game play is good if you like an always be attacking unit production game. Rule book is not exactly clear on the first read through. Bares a lot of similarity to the horus heresy game the FFG also did 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yeah, not sure how much fun it's going to be to paint this. They are just your cheap plastic game pieces. And there are a lot of them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Paints Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 sorry for the late reply, I completed these a while ago. The customer included his own 3d printed pieces too. Hope you guys like them :D 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
