I just wanted people to see what I've been working on for the past few weeks. Its a hex-based system for use in Starship Combat in my new campaign and first Star Wars RPG Campaign under the FFG system. I hope to be able to use this at some point to revive my Dragon Squadron Campaign under Age of Rebellion:
This is a general overview. I have just over 40 of the hexes completed, and will be adding asteroid hexes, an a large 9 hex planet.
This is a closer view.
Each piece has been laser cut so they are all the same, and fit together perfectly.
I received the pieces in raw timber, and so undercoated them grey, and then painted them black. I then used white paint to "flick" onto the black surface to give the illusion of stars.
Each hex will be a range band which does work with the current system very well.
I'm yet to decide on the scale of the minis though. I may just revert to counters as the X-Wing (and even WOTC) minis are just that little bit too unwieldy.
