As close to scale as I could manage. The problem isn't actually the scale so much as knowing where to measure from. The official number is 24 meters which put it at about 89 millimetres at 1/270 scale. However is that with or without the sensor equipment at the very front of the ship? It is a bit like researching World War 2 tanks. Some sources include the gun barrel in the overall length and some do not, which obviously can lead to some confusion. I decided to disregard most of the sensor array. Instead I made sure that the ship will measure 89 millimetres from the front of the nose (including the 'box' stuck directly to the nose) to the back of the middle engine. Wouldn't you like to know? Actually, it might very well be sold already, just got to finalize the details and off it goes!

I find myself quite amused by your woeful tale. I'm sure you are not alone but it is not something I have a problem with. It does however feel very right when I use my re-painted X-wings with their proper pilots (one is painted as Wedge's Red two and the other as Luke's Red five).

Quite good that! I do however think that the ships could have benefited from a more noticeable highlight as it would have really made them pop. Of course that's just my humble opinion.

That's a sexy beast of a spaceship. Would it be too much to ask for a size comparison with some other ships?

0 attack would be a first but probably fitting though with the option to mount a turret. The ship supposedly was used as a scout so thinking of it as an AWACS might work, we can imagine it had an extended sensor suite to fit its scout role.

Certainly not badly painted but it shows that it is a 3D printed model. Was that the best quality and or material?

Huh, so maybe I was a bit wrong about how the LotR games fared. I will however still claim that it was around that time that I was starting to see things go downhill. Interestingly this also coincides with Kirby becoming CEO.

This has to be first forum post in the history of the internet where a forum user truly apologize for their behaviour. Maybe there is hope for humanity after all? Seriously though, I'm pretty sure that we are all d*cks from time to time. Just don't let it become a habit.

Joe Boss Red Seven: Whatever you do I know it's gonna be awesome. After all, just thinking that a GI Joe toy could be made into a Star Wars ship is bad ass enough.

Nah, you can't be disappointed with Lego. It's one of the reasons I'm so good at scratchbuilding.

Amen to that Lackwit. Besides the jungle that is licensing agreements might not allow FFG to release something line that yet.

1 attack is probably right as the ship was originally unarmed. Some even had a dummy turret!

If the price is right, then sure! As for stats or dial, that's not my cup of tea. I'm good at painting and modelling, not writing rules. Feel free you guys to come up with some rules if you want to.

I'm finally finished with my YG-4210! Enjoy! More pics on my blog and also a full paint guide.

Here is something that really fits the thread. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zSxQnZ3TM8&index=7&list=UUNnKprAG-MWLsk-GsbsC2BA

I've played Warhammer Fantasy, 40k and other assorted GW games for almost 20 years. I currently own one Warhammer Fantasy army (Goblins) and three 40k armies (Tau, Imperial Guard and Space Marines). I've spent a lot of time and money on my addiction/hobby and quite frankly I love what I do. And yet I effing hate Games Workshop, the company that has given me this wonderful hobby. I think it started around the time GW released the Lord of the Rings game. I never bothered with the game as it didn't interest me, but it probably had a number of good ideas. I did notice however how much of the game that was focused on specific events from the movies/books and that each such event seemed to get its own set of models. Like it was more important to sell models to collectors than supporting the game. From what I've heard over the years, it didn't do terribly well. Next was the White Dwarf magazine. It used to be fun to get the latest issue, reading all the battle reports, see all the new models, reading up on painting tips, getting columns discussing tactics, looking at other peoples outrageous armies and so on. As the years passed, less and less of that was included until all you got was an advertisement in disguise. Even the battle reports were reduced to flashy pictures, completely disregarding the battle maps of old where you could follow the action properly. Something that could not be missed was the constant price increases. First time I really noticed it was when the Empire Greatswords was released as a plastic kit, yet contained less and cost more than their metal counterparts. Even worse and at about the same time was the Vampire Counts Blood knights that cost about three to four times as much as any other knights. Heck, a set of five knights cost almost as much as a Stompa or Baneblade! Those damned knights, especially their horses, didn't look very good either but it was nothing compared to what would come over the years. In my opinion, the current range looks far more like He-Man than Warhammer. I truly hate the current Treemen, Minotaurs, Savage Orcs, Dwarf Gyrocopters, Space Marine Centurions, Chaos Heldrake, IG Taurox, big parts of the Daemon range, Coven throne, to mention a few and latest of all, Logan Grimnar on chibi viking longboat, pulled by ugly ass wolves. Yes, that's not a joke, follow the link to see the travesty. http://www.games-workshop.com/en-SE/Logan-Grimnar-on-Stormrider. He-Man masters of the universe indeed. I could go on and on about this but I decided to do something about it. Instead of feeding GW more of my money, I started looking at other options. There are dozens of small companies making alternative games and models that potentially be used in Warhammer Fantasy and 40k. My first effort was an Imperial Guard army using nothing but WW2 German troops and vehicles. My second attempt, and the one I'm currently working on, (when I'm not doing something X-wing related that is) is a Space Marine army using models and vehicles from several sources but mostly troops from Mantic Games Warpath game. This was the best finger in GWs face I could manage and also the reason why I started my blog. No, that is not a shameless plug, I truly wanted to spread the word of how to play GW games despite paying GW as little cash as possible. After all, nothing changes a company as much and as fast as when their revenue falls. Unfortunately, the changes GW has done lately doesn't give me hope.

Well there's certainly nothing wrong with your mad ninja airbrushing skills. Imperial ships has a tendency to be very boring in all their grey glory but you truly manage to bring life into the models. My favourite has to be the Defender! Only one niggle remain, and that's the green poop coming out the back. I realize what you are trying to achieve but, to me it looks wrong. Echo looks much better, the smaller blue pieces achieves a better sense of speed and engine exhaust vapors than the big green blob on Whisper and the Defender.

The position of the B-wing is mostly due to practical reasons. After all it takes up a lot more area when it positioned sideways.

Well that was certainly an innovative way of getting a circle. Gotta use that one myself! I fail to see why you use a sponge to paint the red however. It just feels unnecessary.

Normal TIEs would probably be better described as a Zero, as German aircraft was not necessarily known as being the most manoeuvrable. The Defender would without a doubt be the ME-262 and the Bomber would be the JU-87 Stuka.

Dutch is a solid force multiplier and if equipped with an Ion Cannon turret (why would you take anything else?), a good board controller. If you are considering taking a Y-wing with an ICT, you should always consider if you can squeeze in Dutch for a few points extra.

C'mon people you know you want to join the dark side! On a more serious note, I find it hilarious how upset some of you become and from such an obvious troll post as well. I mean really, he isn't even very serious himself.

Interesting take on the squint. It seems you've used a brownish/orange red when airbrushing and that gives it a peculiar finish that I've never before seen on an Interceptor. The blue on the ace (Maybe not?) really stands out and provides good contrast. Good job basically.

Not bad. Normally I wouldn't appreciate something like this but there is something about the choice of colours that draws me in. They clash and shouldn't fit together yet strangely they do and in a good way. If nothing else it is different from all other HWKs I have seen and that alone can be worth alot.

It is true that the squint didn't need to be boosted and I think the imp ace pack reflects that. What we got was not a big boost or rebalancing but rather a utility box to expand the capability of the squint.
