Got to an age where you can afford to buy an Imperial Assault Set. Started painting (I like it). I've got a group of 8 (best friends) who are realy enthousiaste playing this game. And another army(who would like the gameplay in a non SW-setting, with less complicated rules..). About SW: I love the setting...
Couple thoughts:
* Heroscape is an easier rules set than Imperial Assault...Much more of a beer & pretzels feel.
* Heroscape is usually always played as a skirmish, not with scenarios
* Heroscape doesn't require any painting...but you can paint other figures and make cards for them in Heroscape
* Heroscape is non-star wars, but folks have done custom cards for SW figures, so best of both worlds
Be warned that if you play a little and like it, you will be compelled to hunt for more (gotta have it all!), and these days some expansions are pricey.
For many of us Heroscape will always hold a special place in our hearts...
