Acrylic Hotness

By Shaadea, in X-Wing

Yeah, can't see the images.

I really want to see these HOTAC acrylics!

the internet wants a pass word to see your images ....... but i am very interested in getting stuff for the hotac as we are playing it a lot at the moment

whoops, sorry, uploaded to wrong folder (and it showed fine on the preview for me as I'm logged in to the server of course... noob mistake)

when will they be in the shop?

Do you have an English option on your website yet Shaadea?

How much are those? It usually costs someone $80 to print off a set from Kinko's. Maybe better to go acrylic?

No, sorry, still not finished. Most of the technical stuff is done (navigation etc), but still lacking a good deal of product descriptions...

Posting the pictures here seems like a cruel act, as the price is bad news: a complete set will run at around 180 Euro. And that's only because I really like the campaign and will severely cut down on our margin (to be more specific, it's 25 Euro left over for me for the work). It takes a lot of material, and about 3 hours for 1 complete set. With the same amount of time and material, producing our regular tokens and templates, we can make more profit.... (but this set isn't about profit, so it's ok).

With such a high price tag I'm not sure if I will add it to the shop at all (I would also need to check back with the creators of the campaign for that anyways). Probably do production on demand only.

another helpful little tool, acrylic overlays for the bases to decide the AI vectors... you can do without, but it eases our lives :-)

Nice!

I'm building a box set that is just for HotAC separate from all my other X-Wing stuff

Good to hear the English option will be coming, hopefully sooner rather than later.

I do hope you.will list that campaign set though, I would be keen to pick up a set at some point.

How much for these things? Or do you sell them in packs? I'm trying to think about how many would be needed when playing. Maybe 8?

Depends on how many people you play with.... my group is 6 at the moment so we have maxed out squads flying against us

Right...I'm thinking of 4. I guess I should just go look up the missions. :P

Those turbo lasers look nice. For general use and Death Star runs, those have to be cheaper than the 3d turrets that go $10+/each, and yours have a better firing arc displayed.

I prefer paper turrets for that. I like the 3D nature.

being busy with creating data for new stuff;[...]

Glad to hear you're still going it strong, keep it up!

I was wondering, will you offer upgraded versions of the existing movement templates to incorporate the "new" S-Loops and T-Rolls on their respective templates ?

Not really a necessity, rather for completeness' reasons...

Easily done, will have to calculate but I'm sure they will be somewhat like 1.5 € each

Actually I already have a bunch of those upgrades sets right here, for odera (universe to follow), just need to find the time to get them online (taking pictures etc);

Sounds great! You can disregard the messages I sent you; I went ahead and ordered the items via the miracle website. I'm very excited for them to arrive after a few weeks!

Those turret and station pieces are beautiful. Would you be willing to sell just the turbolasers and station modules? No clouds or other tokens, but just the station sets. How much would that run?

Are "Odera" and "Aftermath" the only movement templates you offer these days?

Because I have the basic black maneuver template set from your site and would like an upgrade covering S-Loops and T-Rolls for that.

Also I hope you update your bomb marker set to Wave 8 soon :D

The bomb set will not see an upgrade anytime soon. Instead we will offer the Wave 8 stuff as separate set, including tractor beam and thermal detonator. That way people that have the bomb set already can get the new stuff only.

I also have colored acryl (black, white, red) and translucent (orange, red and blue). Just got the pictures, will add them shortly. You probably have the black engraved ones (with the ivory colored numbers?), these are not offered anymore. While looking really great the price tag was too high (producing them is more complicated) so the request for them was too low. As I had to produce at least 10 sets everytime I either had some waiting time (to collect a few orders) or several sets sitting on the shelves for a long time.

There will be an upgrade set with s-loop and t-roll for those sets offered to customers that bought them, along with the range rulers produced the same way, so customers can get their sets complete.

About the HotAC stuff: there had been a few requests, for whole sets and parts only (station, turrets, etc). I will put a few sets together with those requests in mind and get them up on the site this weekend.
