History TabletopGame / StarWarsMiniatures

* OffModel: Around the middle of the game's run, the sculpts and paint jobs became notably worse; compare [[http://www.bloomilk.com/i/Images/Characters/RS07HanSolo.jpg the first Han Solo]] (2004) to [[http://www.bloomilk.com/i/Images/Characters/AE08HanSoloInStormtrooperArmor.jpg Han Solo in Stormtrooper Armor]] (2007).

Although the game stopped production in mid-2010, it (like the TabletopGame/StarWarsCustomizableCardGame before it) continues to have a dedicated player base. Unofficial virtual sets continue to be produced, often based on newer ''Star Wars'' entries like ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' and ''Film/TheForceAwakens''.

''Star Wars Miniatures'', as the name suggests, was [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a collectible miniatures game based on the]] ''Franchise/StarWars'' [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin universe]], first produced by Creator/WizardsOfTheCoast in 2004 as a tie-in for the DVD releases of the original trilogy movies. It used many of the same mechanics as the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' roleplaying and miniatures games. Really likes making people roll 20-sided dies, just like its sister game.

* AdoredByTheNetwork: Often displaced the RPG that it was developed alongside. For nearly a year, Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars webpage was exclusively miniatures, with maybe RPG stats included in the previews if fans were lucky.

* WTHCostumingDepartment: While still a great pic, one Masters of the Force expansion box cover had Mace Windu wearing what was clearly Kyle Katarn's clothes.

* GlassCannon: Pretty much any character with the Heavy Weapon ability and many of the "scout" type peices.

A new wargame that will serve as SpiritualSuccessor, known as ''Star Wars: Legion'', is in development, targeting a 2018 release date.

* AwesomeYetPractical: The "[[EnsembleDarkhorse Boba Fett]], BountyHunter" miniature is considered by many to be one of the best in the game. Not only does he have the ability to OneHitKill enemy characters (a staple of many a sought-after character in ''a lot'' of collectible games), but he also has various abilities that [[LightningBruiser make him hard to kill himself while he zips around the board shooting away at enemy characters]].
** Generally, the more popular and iconic a character was, the more likely he/she was to have a particular figure that was powerful and useful in the metagame. [[SeriesMascot Darth Vader]] is another example, with most of his pieces being reasonably costed, useful for team support and/or powerful beatsticks in their own right to boot.

%%* MightyGlacier: Heavy Stormtroopers, Snowtroopers with E-Web Blasters, and various other pieces. Especially the Colossal AT-AT, which could only move a small number of squares, and only on certain turns too, but had the most HP of any piece in the game.

* BrokenBase: Several characters have divided the community over their supposed Over Poweredness, General Obi Wan Kenobi, General Wedge and Boba Fett Bounty Hunter to name a few. Also most recently the virtual sets have caused this as well.
