A while back I posted Imperial and Rebel army lists for Hordes of the
Things
at The Stronghold (http://www.btinternet.com/~alan.catherine/wargames/
strong. htm), but since then I've built full forces for DSII. I used
stuff
from a variety of sources, chosen to get everything to roughly the same
scale. I started with the two types of Battletech infantry (can't
remember
which is which now, but they are amazingly good matches to Imperial and
Rebel
army uniforms, especially the helmets). ATATs are from the Galoob X-ray
series, ATSTs are Galoob Micromachines, and Stormtroopers are from the
old
Ogre PanEuropean infantry. Irregular makes not-Stormtroopers but they
are
way too small to fit with the other infantry. Snowspeeders and laser
towers
are from the Battle on Ice Planet Hoth kit, Jawas and Rebel infantry on
tauntauns from Irregular. Fighter and bomber support came from Galoob
Microma
chines. Never did find a good match for speeder bikes, so I used the
Irregular jet bikes. I also used the Irregular not-Darth, shimmed up so
he
didn't look quite so much like Rick Moranis in Space Balls. Irregular
also
makes some Rebel pilots, which serve as Luke and Han, a decent
not-Chewbacca
figure, and some bounty hunters. I had lots of fun with the HOTT games,
but
haven't actually been able to play a DSII game with the stuff yet.
