Star Wars Shatterpoint was a novel about Mace Windu; now AMG has revealed their new miniatures Core Starter Set with the same name!
While the game has had a bit of a mixed reaction, seeing the minis inside the set might help with your frustrations! Or not, but either way, it’s really cool to see the new minis.
What Will Come In The Star Wars Shatterpoint Core Starter Set?
Atomic Mass Games revealed the models on their Twitter and a little more info about the box itself.
It looks like there will be 16 models in total in the new starter, which is pretty decent when you compare it to the Marvel Crisis Protocol box, which seems to be a similar scale.
Which character from Star Wars: Shatterpoint Core Set are you most excited to paint – Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex, or Bo-Katan?
Even though we saw most of these in the actual teaser trailer, it’s nice to see exactly what you’ll get! Some very cool characters are included, and even if they aren’t up your alley, you should be able to split it with a friend.
Who are you painting first from the second half of the Star Wars: Shatterpoint Core Set – Asajj Ventresss, Lord Maul, Gar Saxon, or General Kalani?
The other half of the box also has some interesting characters, but we did see General Grievous in the preview video, and it would have been nice to have him in this box!
Still, Star Wars Shatterpoint is shaping up to have a pretty sweet starter set just from these reveals.
While they say the game will be much different from Marvel Crisis Protocol, the size and style of the minis and bases are similar, so the MCP starter might be something to compare this to.
How Will Star Wars Shatterpoint Miniatures Game Play?
Here is a statement from AMG’s Facebook about the Star Wars Shatterpoint game itself and its mechanics:
Star Wars: Shatterpoint is a totally new game with its own mechanics and structure. We can’t wait to be able to share more with you next year. There are also plenty of Legion releases planned for 2023 – so fear not.
The MCP set comes with ten models inside, along with all the extras you need to actually play the game. So, looking at that, this Shatterpoint box could be a great value as it comes with 16 models, and we’re going to assume all the tokens and such you need to play the game.
The MCP starter runs for $99 from AMG, so let’s hope they keep the price of this similar and don’t raise it too much for the extra six models.
Star Wars: Shatterpoint Terrain Revealed by AMG!
These were posted on AMG’s Twitter.
Customize your Star Wars: Shatterpoint battlefields with two terrain packs! Whether adding dynamic new levels to your epic duels or adding more spots for your characters to take cover, these packs have what you need to bring your battles into a galaxy far, far away!
The two new terrain sets look pretty cool, and AMG did confirm that they will come unbuilt and unpainted. These are also much more vertical than a lot of the Legion terrain, so that might imply some ways the game will play.
Perhaps best of all, they said this terrain will also be usable with Star Wars Legion!
While not 100% confirmation, it’s better than nothing.
We imagine you will have to fill out most of a 3×3 table, but that’s just a guess as we don’t have any inside info on the rules, but a lot of the promo pictures have looked full of terrain.

They are going for a very specific look with the art, and we’re a fan of it!
Hopefully, they will start revealing some mechanics of the game soon, as art is cool, but we want to see how it plays!
Gar Saxon is the last card they showed this time around, but luckily, we have more to look at.

AMG Announces New Star Wars: Shatterpoint Game!
Let’s check out the press release from them!
Since this is their announcement, we’ll let them tell you more about it!
Asmodee and Atomic Mass Games today announced Star Wars: Shatterpoint, a new miniatures skirmish game that will join its existing catalog of Star Wars miniature games. The Shatterpoint game is set to release in June 2023.
The Star Wars: Shatterpoint game empowers players to alter the fate of the galaxy, from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. Players build and command a strike team composed of iconic Star Wars characters and pit them against each other in exciting battles.

Players can choose thematic squads straight from the Star Wars galaxy, like Ahsoka TanoTM and Bo-Katan KryzeTM, Lord MaulTM and his loyalist super commandos, or mix and match their favorite characters to form the custom squads they want to play.
● Battle: In the Shatterpoint game, players use their characters’ special abilities and diverse combat skills to control the flow of battle as they race against each other to complete dynamically evolving mission objectives.
Design & Developtment
“The design and development of the Star Wars: Shatterpoint miniatures game is really our love letter to the excitement and energy of being a kid on Saturday mornings,” said Will Shick, director of product development at AMG.
“We wanted to take all the great things about Star Wars—the action, the adventure, and the iconic characters—to create a Star Wars miniatures game experience that felt like it had come straight out of the animated lineups of the ’80s and ’90s. To say it was a dream come true to work with such a talented group of artists, sculptors, and our awesome team at Lucasfilm to create new versions of the iconic Star Wars cast in this style would be a complete understatement.”
That does it for this one, but be sure to watch the whole video below for all the details.
