Riddle me this Batman:

Do these minis come with a new robust battlesystem, or is it derivative of the d20 rules? Or even the SW minis rules?

I'm not batman, but the basic rules for the game can be found on WotC's website. And here's the link:Rules

Why oh why must they come up with something else for me to spend money I don't have.

Uh, it's WotC, it's going to be d20 based.

From the looks of it, it's going to be a highly simplified version of the starship combat system from the Star Wars RPG. Much like how the SW minis rules are a highly simplifed version of the RPG combat rules.

I look at the Executor mini, I look at the Executor from the movies, and I say, "The mini is not the Executor."

The conning tower is in front of the wing vertices on the mini, and the tail section is too short. The "cityscape" portion of the dorsal surface does not angle that sharply at the wing-tail junction.

Geek.

Dang, they look great! Anyone know their approximate size?

Gargantuan (4" x 4" base) for the Class 4 'super-capital' ships (Executor, Viscount)

Huge (3 x 3) for the capital ships.

Large (2 x 2) for the shuttles, transports, et al.

Medium (1" square) for the starfighters.
