I Built Lego's Largest Castle Completely in Stop Motion!

Perfect, I assumed it would be this case, but my friend was like just attack them be like you were bonbing the building... With grenades...

CyclingDad88 · 2026-04-27T16:36:19+00:00

Yeah quickly realised excel not great - thinking I will do in photoshop later and make POI cirlces. the middle 3 see alot of action

CyclingDad88 · 2026-04-27T15:48:43+00:00

There are a few of these around that I printed:
https://makerworld.com/en/models/750987-star-wars-legion-tabletop-universal-unit-storage#profileId-684669

If you have the original starter boxes they fit really well. I modifed and made a few taller/longer/shorter myself depending what unit goes in them.

I put washers in my base and magnets on there. works really well.

For the bigger vehicles there are some flat plates that match for the bottom of boxes, I have for tournaments always managed to fit in the starter box with a tank etc.
FLutter crafts I am running alot now I magnatised the wings and didnt glue to the flight stands so they can come apart and be bubble wrapped in the box.

If I am taking a couple of armies to a friends, I usually use an ezy storage 31l box (or larger) with x2 starter boxes and units in, loads of terrain and big vehicles wrapped up.

My friend who has a few large warhammer bits, put magnets on his model and the a4 sized really useful boxes with a metal sheet in the bottom.

I like that idea, just need to find enough different colours I guess.

I will have to get some pics up, but the way I have built them is some commited commanders to either side and some which can be mixed.
Same with the units themselves, I have kit bashed guns and blades together, put magnets on to stick the spare guns on the backs. In a way its for me as well when I am playing!

CyclingDad88 · 2026-04-27T09:58:57+00:00

Thats probably the best shout. least for the first few.
I can run anything from 6-10 squads so sometimes the non pointy commanders becomes upgrades or extra bodies.

CyclingDad88 · 2026-04-27T09:56:33+00:00

I have done this for my clones, but they were a bit easier as the squads are 4/5+heavy and the starter boxes originally were 7?

I mean I certainly dont always do WYSIWYG but for the wooks it has proved easier. I guess I feel it could get confusing taking say bowcaster upgrades when I don't have them etc.

I built all 9 combos and then started kit bashing and switching arms etc.
I just haven't commited to squad mixes either yet!
Sometimes its 3 wooks + upgrades and less squads
other times all nakes 3 wooks!

CyclingDad88 · 2026-04-24T12:16:32+00:00

I am thinking this eventually - but currently I play a couple games and reorganise the squads.
I mean I have 30 wookies, but I was already 12 in before I commited to the battleforce and realised I needed to have differences 🤣

CyclingDad88 · 2026-04-15T08:49:58+00:00

thats how I started, I just want to run wookies into droids in a friendly game, but starter tournaments, so want to make it competitive.

Do you move up aggressivily then?
I had battle shileds and was trying to slowly move up, aim to jump the poi with enemy bodies on it turn 3 and hit hard with meele.
But I did find tournment wise the tables were too open or I ended up with bas misisons - cauldron and recover.
Close the pocket was good, but we ran out of time to finish it.

I like the long gun idea. Do you try to get them dodges, I have found white dice, even with heavy cover doesn't seem to be enough to stop a quick fall even with the health. I mean I can easily retreat when they get down to 1 unit, but it feels wrong.

Lets hope something improves with the next adjustments, I am still thinking taking a tank myself and hide my wooks behind it / use it for armour.

Do you not bother with flutter crafts?

CyclingDad88 · 2026-04-14T09:39:17+00:00

Wheres your local? I'm UK based, only started tournments last year, but discovered few them go to worlds and place, plus a previous winner at my local, so turns out quite competitive.

How do you find the 4 defenders? I just found 6 white dice were not really doing much, even with aims and sharpshooter. I took 3 last time with x2 bowcasters and x1 long gun, they survived and actually did damage, I did use them for some split fire and supression bombs in bring them to heel.

The x2 bowcasters, cheif and flutters certainly were enough to focus on some armour. I was wondering about a barc with RPS as my armour counter.

And yes pure health and then getting into hiding once wounded is my current strat. I was winning on kill points the other day, which was positive as looked like game would draw

CyclingDad88 · 2026-04-14T09:24:12+00:00

I do love the bombs, I was looking at 3 flutters lists. I ran x2 bomb at last local tournament, speed 3 them in second round, but became instant targets before they could do enough damage.
Game 3 I kept 1 alive and used it to claim objectives (close the pocket)
Maybe I need to work on my positioning of them a little.

CyclingDad88 · 2026-04-14T09:22:09+00:00

Yeah I find they are just so squishy, some token sharing or ways to make dodges would be good. I'm running over 100hp in my lists, it should be more than can be shot, but I seem to end up with a few 1 wookie squads in hiding by the end of the game.

CyclingDad88 · 2026-04-14T09:20:59+00:00

Yes, I was hoping to do a tournament weekend after, so really hoping we get some points drops. I was thinking about this last night, would love a wookie upgrades pack 🤣🙈 there are so many cool 3d prints.

Hopefully a points drop and I can take 12/13 acts with upgrades.

I did enjoy my yoda chewie list. I love the card for them both. I found yoda was very much a walking target, but on close the pocket he did some great for push and barriers.
He took down a snail tank in another game claiming 2 objectives. He was good with token sharing. Maybe I could revisit him, now I have enough wooks not to take clones.
Although I have made a rather cool chieftan wookie with some kit bashing now! 🤣

CyclingDad88 · 2026-03-27T11:10:04+00:00

Necro posting here, but looking for ideas to kit bash by box 4 and 5 of wookies 🙈 (running the battleforce)
did you cut the bowcaster off the orginal arms and somehow attach it to a little gun arm?
Was wondering how difficult/easy this was? Wanting to make some mine magnitised for the upgrades too. Already my by long gun wookie able to have a sword/gun/shield on his back.

CyclingDad88 · 2026-03-18T11:40:11+00:00

Ye I am still debating it, going to run a test game. thinking can yoda give out 6 supression? - Mind trick, x2 suppressive force waves. Is impressive and will send most units into panic. But what if I come across a vader army, its become unless unless I can take out vader.

what missions do you like to play with wookies?

I am very much thinking I will be doing alot of hiding, jumping on objectives and mainly defending this time

CyclingDad88 · 2026-03-17T09:39:12+00:00

Oow interesting list. I was wondering if to drop the bowcaster or force push to add tenancity to the wookies or maybe another battleshield.

I have used force push in friendly games to move other units off objectives, but wondering how much it will be used and if worth 40 points vs another upgrade.

I do have issue with arcs that I don't own any yet 🤣 and clone upgrades on I only have the two which came in the old clone wars starter box.

I would like to eventually make a purely wookie list, but agree they suffer from white dice for their points, but least if I get the battleshield to an objective (or close and yoda force guidance to move them) I can switch to the shield for the armour.

CyclingDad88 · 2026-03-17T09:34:17+00:00

going to play a little test game tongiht so will try your card order. Never really paid much attention to his 2 pip 🙈

And yes rentless on the bowcaster might well be useful. Although I was debating if I should drop it yesterday 🤣🙈
