Star Wars Altaya Miniatures Archives

Imperial Era Ships

Below are the Imperial Era Ships & Vehicles. This Era by far has had the most releases. Although, from what we've seen, that may slow down as Altaya makes other ships from other eras. Enjoy!

Next to each ship, I list the Altaya Issue Number for reference. Click on these links for Republic Era or New Republic Era ships.

1 - Millennium Falcon

Initially, I hadn't bought this one, but I'm glad I picked it up. It's not as flat and most models of it, which is nice to see.

2 - TIE Advanced x1

The whole body is a little stretched, but the detail is nice. You get a full interior, but no opening cockpit. And there's no detail at all for the 4 thrusters.

4 - Imperial Star Destroyer

Surface detail and panel lines are way oversized. However, this a Devastator class, which you don't often see. I also love the thruster details.

5 - AT-AT

Overall, the AT-AT is pretty awesome. The leg and rear greeble detail is great.

6 - Imperial Shuttle

The cockpit seems a little oversized, but everything else is great. I love the weathered look. The engine detail and ALL laser turrets are great.

7 - Death Star I

The paint job is really nice. The tiny superlaser is off-putting though.

8 - Boba Fett's Slave I

Boba is upset. The paint looks bluish instead of off-white. Worst of all, the panel lines are raised and ugly. Honestly, the rear looks better than the front.

10 - Snowspeeder

Detail is pretty good, but the canopy has no panel line showing where it meets the hull. Also, mine had a terribly warped left side of the canopy.

11 - AT-ST

I'd take the Bandai kit over this one. Detail isn't bad, but the pose looks like it's about to fall over. However, it does show the pivoting feet that I talk about.

12 - A-wing

The A-wing is really big and has excellent detail. The red is very bright though. However, the greebling on the engines is amazing.

13 - Tantive IV

The Blockade Runner is alright. It's not much bigger than the Titanium. You do get the individual barrels for the main turbolasers, but not the smaller side cannons.

17 - B-wing

I love the B-wing, so I'm biased. This one is decent though. Detail is great, but paint job is so-so. Plus the panel lines are oversized.

18 - The Khetanna (Sail Barge)

Surprisingly I love this one. The metallic brown color is amazing. I love the railing detail, the sails, and the golden deck gun. Best Sail Barge out there.

19 - Y-Wing

The piping is oversized, and the ion turret is way off. However, it's still a pretty decent model.

21 - Luke Skywalker's X-Wing

I LOVE the weathering on the X-wing. The lasers aren't rotated correctly, but overall a nice ship.

24 - TIE Interceptor

Even though I love the Interceptor, I'm not a fan of this one. They used grey instead of the blue. And the laser cannons look way too stubby.

27 - Sandcrawler

The color doesn't look right, but I like it anyway. It would look great based in a desert diorama.

31 - TIE Fighter

This is a TIE modeled from Rogue One, Mandalorian, et al. with the smaller canopy window. The blue is too dark IMO, but the wings look nice/slim.

35 - Nebulon-B Frigate

The Nebulon-B is amazing, if a bit small. It actually depicts the version from Rogue One because of the rear stripes and molded cannons on the sides.

37 - U-wing

While small, I love that they did the paint job from the Scarif battle, and not the typical scheme.

38 - TIE Bomber

The TIE Bomber is probably my favorite. It is proportioned well, has great detail, and the Stormy Sea color is perfect.

40 - Hammerhead

The detail on the Hammerhead is really amazing, and I love the shape. They took the details from the Rogue One version, so it looks better than the Rebels variant.

Bonus issue - Death Star II

Even though the superlaser circle is too small, this one has some amazing detail, especially on the inside.

41 - Executor

The Executor is really small and the panel lines are WAY overdone.

43 - Han's Landspeeder

While it's not as shiny as I'd like, the paint and weathering is very nice. The interior has a nice amount of detail, and it's just a really cool size.

46 - Speeder Bike

Overall, this one has nice detailing. I like the delicate details underneath, but the weathering seems excessive.

53 - Havoc Marauder

The Marauder is just beautiful. From the clear red windows to the bluish weathering, it's amazing looking. It's also a perfect size.

57 - Justifier

OK, this may be one of my top 5 for the line. I also prefer it with the big thruster horizontal in the landed mode. It looks like an evil Ghost.

59 - AT-ACT

This one is nice. I appreciate the wet looking feet and the faded markings on the cargo pod. The cannons weren't quite straight, but it's hard to tell.

69 - JPP-192 Limospeeder

I don't think anyone expected to get Mon Mothma's speeder, but this is cool. The metallic blue is nice, I just wish there was an opening door to show off the detailed interior.

72 - Scythe

It's hard to make black interesting, but the weathering here does that well.

73 - Fondor Haulcraft

There's a slight purple-hue, but I love the detail. This is a great model of the Fondor.

75 - Imperial Arrestor Cruiser

It might be a little long, but the detail is superb. I wish it was a little bigger though.

76 - Imperial Light Shuttle

Only briefly glimpsed in the Kenobi series, this model is large, well-painted, and very nicely detailed. It's probably one of the best they've done.

78 - Emergency Shuttle

Just barely seen in Obi-Wan, I LOVE the colors and details on this. However, it doesn't quite look Star Wars to me.

79 - Nightbrother

Not only are the colors correct, but they used the right version of the Gauntlet Fighter. Nice job.

82 - Mobile Tac-Pod

For something so simple, they did a nice job. I wish the turrets rotated as one of mine was glued on at an angle.

89 - TIE Defender

Now, I love the TIE Defender, but I'm not a huge fan of this particular stretched-wing version. Still, it looks good.

90 - Phantom

It's definitely the Phantom, and it's huge.

91 - Breon Dayvan

I believe I was excited most about this ship when they announced it. And they did a fantastic job. I love everything about it. Now if I could find a bigger model of it to paint.

94 - Phantom II

I'm not sure about this one. The paint and emblems are very nice, but they gave it 2 Choppers because I guess they just mirrored each side?

95 - Ghost

This is a very detailed miniature of the Ghost. However, I'm not huge on the strangely painted thruster or how there's no recessed area for the Phantom to dock.

98 - Home One

It's a little over-simplified and underpainted in my opinion. The Fantasy Flight Armada version is better.

100 - Imperial LAAT/le Patrol Gunship

While I prefer the Republic version, I LOVE this ship regardless. The mold here is absolutely mind-blowing with so many little parts. And it's got a great paint job. Check out the Aurabesh "no step" markings.

Bonus Issue - Luke's Landspeeder

It's a really great size, and the weathering is well-done.

    • I believe Fanhome is starting a subscription service for them. I don’t know if they will be available individually without the subscription OR if you’ll be able to get the limited edition ones released in France.
