Ideas from Star Wars Rebels

By gabe69velasquez, in X-Wing

So funny story actually. I had been wanting to do a repaint on my '90 just so that our play group didn't all have the same blessed one. Didn't want to do anything too fancy and hide the already high quality factory paintjob. So I searched around alternate color schemes online and found pics of CR-70's that had blue paint schemes. Thought okay yeah I'll do that. Then looking over it thought y'know, there's too many free hand lines, it's a little busy, a lot of extra work, I'll just do the recolor on the red to blue, color the engines, add some laser blaster damage. Had a little backstory in my head that it was an old ship used from before the beginning of the rebel alliance to harass the Empire. Can't tell you how far my jaw dropped when I saw my CR-90 fly across the screen in the S1 Finale. :o I recolored the red, and nuln oiled the areas that needed more definition, and colored in engine glow(not seen, dur :P ). I'll post a thread later with more pics. Want to get a bit of a setup for decent photos. (PIC)

Love the look of this. What color blue did you use?

Altdorf Guard Blue, By Citadel. To get a good under coat for it took two layers, one Ceramite White, one White Scar. Then two Coats of the blue both kinda thin. Probably was a better way of doing it but oh well. And honestly it looks darker then the pics iv'e posted in reality . Don't know why. I could have used a shade lighter but by the time I realized it was to late to bother correcting. I'm still VERY amateur at this stuff. :I Damage scoring was done using a couple stripes of Nuln Oil then adding a couple stripes of Abbadon Black in a starburst. Any other questions I'll try and answer. Heres a glamour shot. And heres the Album I took of it: http://imgur.com/a/yNPLZ#0 (The third image is a transparent plastic plate I use for palletes that when I want to see what something would look like on a model I can just hold it up and get a rough idea. This was a rough mock up of what a Rebel Pheonix might look like on the forward dorsal section.)

Ok...it's done. If you know what it's supposed to represent, it's certainly passable.

I tried Flickr but since I'm doing it from a tablet, I couldn't see how to resize a pic anywhere. I even tried the Flickr app. When I tried copying a link, it just opened my album with all the info about the pic and me rather than just the pic.

You're killing me man.

It's the second icon from the bottom right.

This forum used a slightly different method, that's why you extract just the image link.

This does not show up anywhere that I can find on the Flickr app I have. Their help page is somewhat jumbled. Seems I can't edit a pic at all unless I post 1 at a time and even then, it's basic photo editing such as cropping, rotating and various color filters. The cropping only lets me zoom in or I can change the aspect ratio.

I gave it a shot. I did what you did (BTW so odd, talking a photo with my phone, and it immediately showing up on my computer monitor), but I copied/link you get directly into the browser address line and refused to let the phone redirect me to the app. Then I selected the view photo option and the address bar had the correct link type. From there it's just a matter of swapping in the correct size letter.

Scratch that, I just noticed if the original is bigger than Large size (1024•Y) it get's a unique link.

Your simplest solution then, since the logins are the same, is to login to Flickr on your computer, and your photos will be there (spooky magic voodoo). And you can select the size you want as I described above.

Just a real quick version to see how hard it would be.

It probably occured to you but I was thinking if I was going to go ahead and paint one of mine,

then I would use a sewing needle to dot the checkered pattern on.

You forgot the flavor text of That's not regulation.. I kinda like it

:o :huh: That's one hell of a tie fighter. Illicit slot, Sensor slot, and an EPT!? Dayum. :blink: 16pts to boot. Do you have more of these guys and actually play them out of curiosity?

No, I used an online program. And under-costed it a bit deliberately. The EPT is on the inside to make the rest easier to edit out.

You asked politely so I'll tell you politely, if you have different opinion about how the card should be, I've already done all of the work, it would be very easy to edit it to what you believe it should be and repost it.

My hat is off to you. I can't figure out how to do it without ripping the panels off.

No no nothing like that. I've heard of groups that play some house rul stuff so was wondering if that's what this was. Haven't heard any first hand reports of leagues or other event series that use this alternate stuff beyond reports of "Its Fun!" so was asking. Thought the Pilot ability was pretty cool actually :) ...Must resist urge to design....new ...cards!...AUUUGGHHTAFSDGEPVK~~ :wacko: :o -_-

So you missed the part where this is a stolen TIE from the TV series STAR WARS REBELS?

I don't expect anyone will use the card, but if they are going to go as far as to match the paint job on the stolen TIE fighter I figured they'd appreciate a card to go with it.

Oh i took off the panels and green stuff the arms. The checkerboard i layed out with a fine point sharpy then painted.

I knew where the TIE was from. My only question was if you were using home brew cards. I worked in game design briefly and am always curious what people do with their creativity and their favorite games was all. The ability is very interesting as it stands now. As I thought about it drifting off last night it's interesting that it applies stress in the activation phase, a potential killer to ships that activate after her trying to do red moves. Which I guess would be a bit broken. Conversely, You could have her steal focus when she focuses, representing her knack to harass mooks when she's on her game. That would only work on things moving before her and the random moldy crow.

Only half the pilot skills fall under the "ships that activate after her" but you may be right to say it's broken even with the restrictions as nothing currently could force a ship off the board with such certainty. I could probably change it to activate at the end of the action phase, but in terms of stress itself, if you look at the other stress causing upgrades like combining Tactician with Flechette Torpedoes, it's not over the top. Another idea is to maybe let her barrel roll into an overlap and then stress only the ship she overlapped. I would guess stealing focus is more of a distraction than a stress, but in the TV series she is more of a stress causing character, but I could see the argument for the other. Maybe replace a focus token for a stress token even.

"At the end of the activation phase, if you have performed a barrel roll, you may replace a focus token of one ship at range one with a stress token ."

"At the end of the activation phase, if you have performed a barrel roll, you may replace a focus token of one ship at range one with a stress token ."

That seems like an ability that is much more balanced and unbroken, as well as being totally "Im going to mess with your stuff so bad" at the same time.

Here is what I am working on currently. As you can see, I have just started the yellow layer. This is my first serious attempt at free-handing more than a tiny part of a miniature, and I have been learning a lot.

It takes mighty impressive painting skills to make a grown man wish he was a little girl. :P

Seriously though, I've not seen a better B-wing repaint.

Wait, WHAT?!

I snuck a WrenFighter in to my Armada fleets... But I don't think I could do it in the larger X-Wing scale.

Hey, if you don't mind my asking what program did you use to create that custom card?

Hi

Nice card, I am doing my own Sabine'Tie too. Did you designed scenario to use it?

I know that a lot of people have already said how much they like this, but how could I not commend this fantastic paint job!?

I think I have found the inspiration I needed for my B Wing.

Thank you.
