Sp00n, the ink wash and the Aurobesh on the shuttle is well done, nothing to be ashamed of. Miles better than the link to the painted miniature that WonderWAAAGH posted. I think I found another badly painted firespray by the same person. Just look at the painted back and lack of attention to detail... Also yours for $80!

Brilliant results! I salute you sir and your skill!

Hi guys, I have a question regarding the text of “Dark Curse”. Here is the card for reference: “When defending, ships attacking you cannot spend focus tokens or reroll attack dice.” Now if an attacker has both a target lock (which normally could be spent to reroll attack dice), and a focus (which normally could be used to modify dice), does Dark Curse’s ability affect both simultaneously? I only ask because I interpret the use of the word “OR” from a programming perspective, meaning you can do one of the following (but not both): “you cannot spend focus tokens” OR “you cannot reroll attack dice”. From my point of view if both were to take effect then they should have used an “AND” operative instead of “OR”, making it read “When defending, ships attacking you cannot spend focus tokens and cannot reroll attack dice”. If it is supposed to be an “OR” then I would imagine the defender would have a choice to pick one of the actions to apply and the attacker would be able to use the other. What are your thoughts on the matter? (Sorry to make a mountain out of a molehill)

Nice! I was considering covering my movement dials with a “MACtac” type clear adhesive material because my x-wing dial is definitely wearing down. If new movement dials are being covered with this stuff it should increase the longevity. =)

I think our closest hope to seeing an ISD style huge ship for the game is the previously mentioned Vigil-class corvette. At 255m long, I think it's doable. Just take a look at the pictures! Beautiful!!! For my second choice, I'd take the Tartan-class patrol cruiser

Is it just me or does anyone else think that the upcoming tie defender is underpowered? I mean the cheapest tie defender pilot is the “Delta Squadron Pilot” costing 30pts and that’s completely bare. For 31pts I can have a “Blue Squadron Pilot” B-wing, who has a higher pilot skill (2 vs 1) with a heavy laser cannon and fire-control system. For what I have seen the defender is sporting a red 1 turn just like the defender so I’m assuming the movement dial is on par with the B-wing, maybe marginally better. The only difference I can see would be the 1 agility on the B-wing vs the 3 agility of the defender, but this is balanced by the 5 shields of the B-wing vs the 3 shields of the defender. The defender can’t even use a system slot. In my mind the defender should be able to match the firepower of the B-wing, while being more maneuverable with a slightly higher cost. I just don’t see the defender being the answer to the B-wing. Of course I’m still fairly new at the game. Perhaps some vets can offer some counterargument on why the defender is good. Or if anyone would like to express their opinion on this, I would love to hear it. I am generally impressed with helpfulness of this X-wing community. Thanks! =) I have attached some pictures of the source of my information.
