Nice!
How does armada compare to X-wing?
I can't justify getting them both, as x wing alone cost me a fair penny already :o
Cool. I'd maybe go for a final light dry brush of very light grey to just make them pop a bit more. Probably best to over highlight, to help make it clear what is what, as these are game pieces.
I assume they are plastic?
Very nice,
I too would like to know how the two games compare?
Excellent
May the force (dark side) be with you
;D ;D
Thanks chaps, they are a lot of fun to paint! 8)
It's a completely different game that actually works really really well. It's a more expensive buy in to the game, but looks like it will have less 'game creep' compared to Xwing.
Yes, the figures are plastic, and I might have gone lighter, but after looking at original film stills, I like my ties dark! ;)
Nice to see the good guys :d in their painted glory.
All hail the Galatic Empire!
Must admit I am sorely tempted by SWA but the price tag puts me off. As most of my gaming is solo I can't really justify it as I am told (and all the reviews seem to indicate) that you need at least two starter sets to play a decent game.
Painting wouldn't be an issue as its a limited palette.
Maybe I should remortgage..... ;)

I only use the riginal trilogy stuff from x-wing, so apart from some cards you can't get when only buying X/A/B/Y-wings orTIE fighters/interceptors/bombers and shuttle/slave 1/falcon, the game creep is limited, as i found it to be a very balanced game in the first few waves.
I'll probably load some ink in the printer and print the cards i can't get to and need, as we only play in our game group, so don't need to worry about using original cards.
After a long pause...

Nice work Mr Lemmy and you use a Jackson Pollock painting for your desk top! Wonderfully post-modern!
Those look very good.
Like Nosher, I am put of the game system by the cost. Especially since I have a collection of Andy Bergstrom's sci-fi fleet size fighters. Time to write my own rules I guess.
I need to stop devoting every waking hour to Elder Scrolls Online and get back to painting!!
I also have a huge collection of those too! :-[
And I share a birthday with, and play Drew at Words With Friends every day! :-B
Lemmey,
Dude!!! Somehow I missed these previously, but those are absolutely awesome! I didn't know there was a game like that, I need to take a look.
Where's da Rebels?
V/R,
Jack
It's been a cold, wet and miserable day...
After I wrote my list for tomorrow's Armada game, I realised that needed another stand of TIE fighters. Oh well, that wasted 1/2 an hour! ;)

Bit grainy, sorry

Going to have to change Will's tag to Lord Sleepless me thinks. Good stuff Will.
Like 'em !!
Cheers - Phil. :)
They look really great Will.
While I was up at Battlefield Hobbies, on Saturday, I treated myself to another set of Imperial Fighters I, the fighter we all recognise from Star Wars, Empire and Jedi.
(I know I should be painting other people's stuff, but more tinny-tiny starfighters, what's not to love!)

Those are super cool, Will! They look great, and I'm scaring myself about the prospect of hopping into yet another project.
