Some fans might be turned off by the blind booster style of Heroclix, but the secondary market is reasonably priced for single ships and hunting around online can usually find some bulk deals for any Wolf-359 reenactments necessary for the campaign. The company released several waves of Star Trek Heroclix Tactics starting in 2012 featuring ships from across the history of Star Trek. Fans looking to supplement their Modiphius sets or running games set in the time period would do well to check those out. The recently introduced Away Team line has a lot of great models based on The Original Series.
There are two lines currently in production focused on Star Trek. Heroclix has delved into several genres over the years.
Sealed copies are sadly at collectors prices these days, but they often can be found at second-hand stores or rummage sales for loose and for cheap. They are a hodgepode of ships that are the most noticeable or recognizable, but if your GM is just looking for something to represent a ship on the table, they are a lovely, thematic fit. Galoob made several collectors boxes of these during the 90s to appeal to fans of the show. Many long-time Star Trek fans probably have a few of these somewhere in their collection. Some of these might already be in a closet for the Game Master, or they could be a few clicks away on an online auction to build a fleet for games that feature a lot of photon torpedoes. Luckily, there are decades of Star Trek toys that can fit the bill until something like that happens. Star Trek Adventures has a growing line of miniatures and tiles to help in tactical situations aboard starships, but there aren’t any official solutions for dramatic starship battles. It’s a lot of fun to imagine sitting at the helm of a starship, but seen a visual representation of the battlefield can often help players consider tactics, GMs set scenes and the whole table focus on a battle with a little dash of decoration. The two main ways to run conflicts in RPGs are via miniatures on the table and the theater of the mind. Follow the adventures of the USS Sally Ride on Shield of Tomorrow on Twitch.
