Oh, I like how dirty the wash made the A-Wing look! Whoever is flying that has got some stories to tell.

Such an astute comment. The best lightsaber fights, in order are: Luke vs Vader RotJ Luke vs Vader ESB Obi Wan vs Vader ANH Everything else goes here, but I guess Phantom Menace is next because by the time you get to Obi Wan vs Anakin you've had so many lightsaber fights they're not special anymore. Nothing kills the cool factor of the Jedi like a thousand computer animated Jedi fighting together. I'd swap ESB and RotJ, but otherwise I completely agree with this. Although I only bump ESB up because I like that it keeps changing locations.

Didn't like "I, Jedi" either, eh?

Oh i really like that, thematically. May not pan out for tournament play, but as someone who likes to put Star Wars first, and the rules second, that would look cool as heck.

Are you suggesting that pirates actually purchased B-wings? I think those might be the worst pirates I've ever heard of.

That song is my ringtone.

I've never had to do something like that though I would suspect that a model that has been given a good coat of gloss varnish would most likely be more slippery. Any paint, not just dry pigments would have trouble sticking to such a surface. Awesome. I'm planning on going out to get some new supplies, and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to need some kind of additional fixative. Thank you so much!

a face! Like the old P-40 Warhawk!

I'm with you! Soontir, PTL, RGT, SU, AT Turr, VI, RGT, SU, AT Tetran, SoT, RGT, SU, AT Arc dodger awesomeness! We'd been debating this in the rules question forum this week, so great timing on the answer. That's pretty much exactly the build I made too! Hahaha!

This is so cool I just added him to an all-interceptor squadron I've been toying with.

Yeah, I've only been at this about 3 months and I have 25 minis already (4 of which are large ships). "Madness" is accurate. I have 35 and I started this in February. Is there a thread where we can give our names and go through 12 steps or something like that? Might be handy... To be fair, if I didnt have to eat or pay rent (or fix my car... rassm frassm thing is why I dont have scum ships yet), I'd have more than I already do. But real life is getting in the way of my new obsession. :-D

Do you have to put anything on the mini surface to make the dry pigment stick when first applying it?

I never thought that I would play a tabletop minis game seriously... Just seemed like such a huge investment, especially considering how affordable D&D is, comparatively. But man did i fall hard for this system. Reasonably affordable miniatures, a setting I've loved my entire life, rules that aren't ridiculously complicated... It's pretty much perfect for me.

That was the first RPG I was ever a DM for, way back in high school. Also the first RPG handbook I ever bought. Used my first ever paycheck to buy it, too. I've got a LOT of nostalgia tied up in that old game system, haha!

Is there anywhere with a more elaborate breakdown of your rules system? I might be reading that wrong, but I cant figure out how gaining experience works. (sorry if its really obvious, I just woke up.) Adding campaign elements to x-wing is about the best idea I've ever heard. I love that kinda stuff.

Yeah, thats what I focused on as well. HOORAY

You just completely changed my paint game. Thank you so much!

His ship was called the Infinity, but i cant find anything about what type it was.

I fully support putting the whole Azzameen clan into this game. I LOVE X-Wing: Alliance. Let's get a ship for Olin Garn, while we're at it.

Ion Mines actually have some in-universe support, as Warlord Zsinj used them in the Wraith Squadron novel. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Empion_mine

I really prefer the Baudo design for the Skate. It's always described as looking like sea-life... and boy oh boy does that other design not look aquatic at all.

I love the Pulsar Skate so much. But I think she's a large ship, as opposed to a huge.

That's probably because I experienced such a thing first hand with the new X-com (Enemy Unknown). Nothing like getting your butt kicked and having your A-team in the morgue or in hospital beds for two weeks when a terror mission shows up. You NEED a B-team (and probably a solid C-team) if you're playing that game on Iron Man, which is the only way to really play that game. XCOM is EXACTLY what I thought of when I read that description. High five!

Cool. That's what I figured, but I was worried I was missing something. This is also my first minis game I've ever gotten into, so I'm not just new to the game, I'm new to basically the whole format. I play D&D, but it's not the same at all, haha. Thanks for the help!
