Bespin cloud car / Rebel TIE replacement

By Giledhil, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

I always hated that FFG brought the stupid Sabine's TIE to the game.
On the other hand, a small and nimble support ship is a good addition to the rebel roster, so that's my replacement solution :
we needed a ship that had little weapon power, a possible crew slot and illicit. The Storm IV seems to meet all those requirements !
It is supposed to be an air speeder, but has pressurized cockpits, and ions engines, so I think the modfication to a space ship would be possible (waaay more than sticking 3 people without space suits in a friggin' TIE !!!)
So I just repainted some old Micromachines toy, and here's the result.


(NB : no, I don't intendto use the "Stolen TIE" thing, as it doesn't fit the ship and is, imo, a stupid mechanic)

Cool! I like it a lot.

Now just wait for when they bring the Clown Cloud Car into the game.

I always felt the ship design looked like a pair of space shoes.

Just me...?

Yours look good btw.

Auto-correct may have replaced 'croc' with 'crocodile' :

Crocodile skin shoes are a thing, for some "high-end" shoes creators (mostly italian, I think).

And they are ugly as s***, imo.

So some crocodile-shoe-ship would be quite in line with Lando's "respectability" ;)
