Pretty standard wednesday night epic game.. cant see why the wife was worried...

By Gadge, in X-Wing

My co clubnight Dj simon brought his tantive and ships over to take on my new 'imperial paint job' tantive.

Standard game..

I won for once too.

I just hope you dropped in quotes frequently for completeness because that is a great image of guys enjoying a game and not caring what anyone else thinks they look like.

Awesome!

It's like a buddy cop film.

That is a very nice TIE Pilot costume.

The great thing about Imperial Tantive is you'd think Vader was broken on it and he really, really isn't.

Go Super-nerds... GOooo!!!

:D

Is that a full repaint in a lighter colour or is it just the lightning?

Nice work Gadge! :D

Its just the red and yellow panels repainted. And a few 'tie fighter blue' ones added.

The engines have been done blue, weapon points and bridge screen green.. Its in the repaints thread

Was the prize the "Wookie in a box" that I see behind you?

Cosplay is leaking into everything.

Did The Mrs threaten to pull a Lando on you for wearing that outfit?

How long did you both last in full kit? Reckon it would have got a tad cosy in all that after a while?

I hope at least one person quoted Luke : "I can't see a thing in this helmet!"

STAY ON TARGET, STAY ON TARGET!

We played in everything but the helmets and gauntlets for the whole game :)

I want that bad. I have daydreamed about making a TIE Pilot outfit since I was a kid in the early 80's. I really need to look up my local 501 chapter and get started on that!

What's 'pulling a Lando'? :huh:

<3

I actually had Vader on my tantive.

The narrative was that Vader had sensed a blockade runner and moved to intercept with his own ship, he had a decimator as escort and two Tie bombers from the nearby ISD 'Harbinger' had been sent in to take out the tantive.

They absolutely shredded it to be honest and they were 'tooled up' with proton torps, adv protons, cluster missles and MF.

They had pretty much ripped the tantive to bits and then i broadsided it with my own CR90

The only ship i lost was one bomber who couldnt get out of the way and was rammed but that ended up doing critical damage to the rebel tantive (enough to cripple the fore section).

Vader used his power to crush Dutch twice a i felt i could afford to take the hits then use 'recover' to bring them back up.

quotes, laser noises the lot.

Simon and i dont care what we look like, we're in industrial punk bands and deiliberately wear daft stuff just for the fun of it.

We're havinga sci fi themed clubnight this saturday with a fancy dress prize for customers to give us an excuse to DJ in these outfits!
