Greetings, everyone!

We worked our way through all of Wave 1. It appears that the TIE Advanced received the least love. That's okay. We can't all be the cool kid...especially in this crowd. Moving on to Wave 2, our showcase for this week will be the Kuat Systems Engineering RZ-1 A-wing Interceptor! I've seen plenty of repaints for this ship, so this should be a good thread.

She's a quick little booger so keep a firm hand on the stick and try to steer clear of Star Destroyer Command Towers!

Back To Index

This was the first ship I painted when I started playing X-wing so there are things I'd do better now, but sentimentality prevents me from doing more than a touch up.

I've been lucky with this one: every game he's in, his rolls are better than they should be (statistically). My opponents often comment on how their A's never live that long or roll as many hits.

Here is Lucky Streak

Indigo Squadron, standing by!

I love my A-Wings. I normally play 150 points and it's a rare Rebel list that can't benefit from a couple of cheap, super fast blockers to get up in everyone's grill. And they're so pretty.

Sweet A-Wing repaints! Almost too nice to put on the table!

Great Re-paints guys

here's one of mine

Nice and simple.......for a change !

Im really liking the Showcase Files Piscopas

All the best,

Barry

A-wings for a recent Hunger Games tournament that my wife and I entered.

Green Squadron A-Wings of mine. Little guys got their share of kills, even shot down a Raider once.

And here is closer look on the leader.

Somewhat WIP. To a certain extent, stuck for inspiration. Mostly feeling like I don't yet have the skill to translate what's in my head onto the model.

What color is that? My poor brain can't decide if it is grey, green, or blue... (they look amazing in all three colors)

A few pics of Phoenix Squadron I painted recently, been really enjoying my snap, crackle, pop swarm! (Apologies for the terrible lighting)

Who care's if Awings are in the 40th on the meta jumble list, THEY LOOK SO GOOD! great paint jobs everyone!

Note to self: Don't send ships to recon the Koprulu Sector again

I forgot to post my A-wings! Doh!

Viridian Starfighter Group -- Callsign: "Splat"

Commission -- Callsign: "Iron Man"

Commission: Green Squadron Pilot

As Always Piscopas....Nice re-paints !

Loving the Iron Man paint scheme.

Red and Gold always work well together......Then again.

So does green and yellow !

All the best,

Barry.

No, it's mine, you can't have one!

(Kidding, it's awesome, if you do commission one, enjoy it!!)

They're green. "Green Squadron" just didn't sound right with no such color on their fighters

Unfortunately no, but thank you . However, I can provide some pointers:

- I used Citadel colors, with Caliban Green as base color and mix of it and Warpstone Glow for highlights. I used Citadel colors as I had some left from painting WFB. I also used dark green wash.

- In case you have one of those red A-wings, just paint it with the dark green color over the original red one. Then, I applied wash over the green and where needed repaired the green where wash concentrated too much. Following this, I mixed the dark green with light green to highlight the tip, two raised panels, fuselage behing the cockpit and raised lines on engines of the fighter. With the A-wing nose nose, it's better to make several "levels" by steadily adding more light green to the mixture for achieving smooth transition between colors.

- Repair any green smears on grey parts of the fighter. Also, you may higlight those parts as well in the same way as green ones. Plus you may apply some grey on few panels, to add more contrast or assymetry. If needed, you may use some sort of black wash to pronounce lines between panels (the one on the left has wash applied, two other do not for example).

I hope this helps. And if you try some A-wing repaints yourself, that you will post them here

They should get a Raider kill mark next to their cockpits XD

Rainbow Squadron! I tried to keep these reasonably in line with the two current models, and just heavied-up the weathering and added some personal markings. These were a full squadron commission.

Here are my Green Squadron A-wings that were originally posted long, long ago
