"Pre-assembled" skirmish maps

By ibsh, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

I had an opportunity to play the new 4 player skirmish map. It was big and a lot of fun to play on. The printed map should be significantly larger than what we are used to. Looking forward to ibsh's excellent work.

Crazy busy and my wave only arrived two days ago, but I'll get to them.

Looks like the new map which will be cycled in at the end of this month will be the Anchorhead Bar // Cantina

I'm planning to create a few new printable templates as soon as Ibsh updates the new maps.

  • All the maps so far
  • The three tournament maps after the new Anchorhead rotation
  • Just the new stuff from Jabba's wave

hello, if i want to print those do i just send in the file to a pixartprinting and on a 26" by 26'' and they will come in the correct size or do I need to resize something to make the map squares appear correctly?

If you just want to print one map, ibsh's originals are 300DPI so you can work out the appropriate size from the JPG by dividing the pixel height and with by 300. If you want multiple maps see my combination files .

Very nice! Thank you!

Looks like theres an offer on Pixart but annoyingly it looks like it does not apply to the banners

Sorry for the delay on the new maps everyone. Things have been very busy IRL, plus I've decided, for some reason, to rescan and clean up all the IA tiles so that the maps look better; less moiré, tighter alignment and cleaner joins. It is likely that no-one will notice the difference but me, and that I am an insane person. Anyway. At some point there will be new maps.

Banners are 30% off on PixArtPrinting through Sunday, March 12th (11:59pm CST). Not the biggest discount we've seen but pretty good all the same.

If you have time to finish up the new Jabba's Realm maps @ibsh , this would be a good week to do that. Thanks for all your hard work! :)

No chance, sorry.

In your maps you use F for damage and G for block. Do you plan to update your other maps to have a block and damage symbols or perhaps use B for block and D for damage?

No problem, there will be another sale. Thanks Ibsh.

Still a good time to order the rest of the maps for anyone who's interested.

Firstly thanks to these superb maps I have successfully order 16 maps on 2 banners and extremely pleased.

i was so pleased tried to order the 4 player map

i choose the size 75.2 by 51.2 cm and uploaded just the map which I had from the fantastic list of maps. The above time I used the zip file and measurements in the file and all worked perfectly

i now have error message

the file four_player hoth battlefield.jpg you have sent measures 63.5 x 43.2 cm to be able to proceed we require the file to measure (including the bleed) 75.2 by 51.2 please upload amended file

i put into paint and checked ruler and it is these measurements so a bit lost and now cannot cancel my order so a bit stuck. Any help very welcome

You do such marvelous work with these, @ibsh . Any chance you'll have time for Jabba's Palace before worlds?

When's that? I can try and find time.

May 5th. Regardless of the time, your work is greatly appreciated and we all would love to see more of it whenever you can.

Thanks for your work @ibsh

@mellowthello I don't think FFG will allow 3rd party mats at Worlds FWIW, just the tiles or their official ones.

You should print the 4-Player Hoth map as 25 inches wide and 17 inches tall (63.5 x 43.2 cm). Looks like that's what you had but they're requesting additional bleed area, assuming I understand your question. If so you'll need to do some image editing to get that working.

Yeah, I know, but this way I can practice locally :). It's May the 5th (naturally), @ibsh . I know it's a whole bunch of work though, so don't sweat it on our behalf if you're short on time.

Thursday is May the 4th actually.

As it happens, the only tiles I'd made much progress on were (what I think of as) the Scum ones. I tackled them first since they're the hardest; they have the ribbed doors that never line up properly. Jabba's Palace is almost entirely Scum tiles, so I will endeavour to make it the first map from my new tileset.

Jabba's Palace is up. I think it looks better than the earlier maps, though the difference is probably imperceptible.
