Using Non-X-Wing Avatars

By Corellian Corvette, in X-Wing

I know a couple people who do this already, but today I spend a half hour going through the avatar library and found this one (look to the left). Never heard of the game its from, but I like it and I think it will stand out nicely. Suits my personality.

What do you guys think? Personally I think pilot faces would be better than ships as avatars but until then I'll take pictures that give emotion (like a face) than just ships.

I always liked apothecaries and I wanted to stand out on this board...so I chose this one...should it become too popular I'll switch to a civ avatar as that game is awesome!!

I picked a non-X-wing avatar simply because there are so few X-wing portraits available that it's hard to stand out.

I wanted mine to be more recognizable (especially to myself) and I like elves. As much as I wanted to be a Firespray I'd just be one of a dozen with the Stealth Device avatar.

Not being able to have a custom avatar is really annoying and you can sometimes think you're reading one persons views when its someon else if you're not paying attention or tired.

The pitifully small amount of choices doesnt help.

Good idea to use one from another game

I might do the same

I think X-wing's avatar pool needs an update. It's still in Wave 2.

) Never heard of the game its from

Looks like one of the "glares" from Aye, Dark Overlord. If so, it's a fun social game if you have the right people to play with that can ad lib a bit and have a good sense of humor.

I too changed my avatar from a x-wing related this one.

Ofcourse a certain (bail) someone(berg) liked it too

I want my B-wings **** it, they really need to add lots more.

I much rather vehicles over people any day :-P

I just couldn't stand it any more to not find my posts (and so the point of the discussion(s) where I left of) by searching for my avatar, because just too many people choose the same ... if FFG would kindly upgrade the avatar selection with art from newer cards I might be tempted to switch back...

I choose this Heretek one because I also play Black Crusade every now and then and my go-to archetype is a Tzeentchian Heretek (a secretive, mesantropic, psykic cyborg in service of the a God dedicated to plots, manipulation, lies and paradox)

Hurrah, viva la change!

I play Netrunner a bit with Noise as my runner so I decided why not?

I used to have a UFS Avatar before it got cancelled and opened back up by Jasco so I had to choose one and ships just didn't cut it.

This.

FFG totally NEEDS to get more X-Wing art available as avatars.

It's silly we don't have anything after wave 2 - no B-Wings, no Imperial Shuttles...nevermind the cool new stuff like the TIE Defenders or E-Wings...

Really annoying...what's out there at the moment is just not a large enough pool for it to really uniquely identify anyone.

Wonder if FFG would respond to a custom support request about that... :huh:

I like blood bowl too, thats why im gutted i've had to stick a load of my 80s 2nd edition stuff on ebay this week to pay and unexpected bill... :(

You bunch of non conformists you.

I love me the stunties in fantasy ( I'm 6'5 so god knows where this comes from ) hence the pic

Better than loving elves like some deviants do.

I picked the Archetect from Citidels because that was the first Fantasy Flight Game i ever bought.

Hurrah, viva la change!

You should be ashamed, being an English person and using French :D

Also I'm trying to find Star Wars LCG avatars, but I can't find them, anyone help? Or are there any?

For most forums I browse I use a picture of Snoopy and Woodstock, with Woodstock dressed up as a knight, as my avatar because it suits my username and my 2-year old daughter loves Snoopy.

For this forum I went through all of the available avatars and settled on this one because it was the closest thing to a Ninja-avatar, and because Citadels was the first FFG game I ever played. Also because of all the issues of choosing an X-wing avatar that have already been mentioned.

Less of the 'English' thanks... i'm Welsh.

Besides French is the language of diplomacy and on here i try to be as diplomatic as possible with some people :)

My apologies. :) I'm more Irish than British myself.
