agashmirv 0 Posted October 21, 2012 The Essen Game fair is going on in Germany right now. It makes Gencon look tiny. FFG is showing the wave 2 models and you get to see how big the falcon actually is. Go forward to the 16:00 minute mark. The falcon is about as big as Anton's hand. javascript:void(0);/*1350863661188*/ Ok, that link should work now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dandirk 232 Posted October 21, 2012 Yeah that model is going to be sick. From what I could tell, it was 3x as long as a tie and about 4x as long (from front to back). As you said basically the size of your palm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theterrainstudio 0 Posted October 21, 2012 This picture shows a pretty good idea of the size of it. http://www.google.ca/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=X&biw=1920&bih=905&tbs=qdr:d&tbm=isch&tbnid=swYLGUVLkLts7M:&imgrefurl=http://boardgamegeek.com/image/1450556&docid=Cweji2GvDnLGUM&itg=1&imgurl=http://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic1450556_md.jpg&w=500&h=375&ei=ynyEULGANcPXyAGdt4DoDw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=173&vpy=179&dur=648&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=197&ty=101&sig=106335710421741648382&page=1&tbnh=130&tbnw=169&start=0&ndsp=49&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:71 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grave13 235 Posted October 21, 2012 OMG I cant belive that the Falcon was about as big as that guys hand.. Slave 1 is pretty big too, Im just trying to figure out how "fluff wise" im going to fit a Slave1 into an impire list, as bounty hunters and pirate use the Fire Spray type ship, unless you want to use the Slave1 as a Merc ship to help out your impire I guess that could work………Or hey what if they make some bounty hunter ships for a third faction? …….IDK maybe im just letting my imagination run wild Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theterrainstudio 0 Posted October 22, 2012 I was impressed and pleased with the overall size. Will add a lot to the table top. The real challenge, for me anyway, not crashing into it. Also would have loved to see the stance of the Slave 1, I am predicting it will sit quite high. I do wonder a bit about balance issues? Any thoughts?

agashmirv 0 Posted October 22, 2012 I've only been putting all the ships at 1/2 as tall as 'normal'. I planned on keeping up with that.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theterrainstudio 0 Posted October 22, 2012 Thats a good idea. I have been running them with 2 pegs, but thats certainly an option. Thanks. Cheers, Shawn Morris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
