Rebel Battle Cruiser - 3Dprint

By dinobaldi, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

I've found a great free model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2904604

...and I try to print it out and paint it at my best:

It's huge and full of details:

17 engine of the same size of the 11 of the CR-90 (I use it for rescale),

...and 6 laser turrets

Now I need your help for set-up custom rules !

Holy smokes, that's big!

Good work Dinobaldi.

Thats awesome. How much did you wind up scaling the file? I wish to do something similar.

Thats actually really cool looking!

It seems you want to be using this as a main barage unit. Where can we help you with exactly?

Do you have some thoughts on the rules already?

I think that could be possible to combine the back part of the Raider and the CR-90 as middle-front arc of fire instead create a new one.

But sadly, in this way I have no cards left for other epic ships... so I decide to make a simple color copy for the new ship.

I need help to set-up the main characteristics, special abilities, and costs.

....I'm an enthusiast, but with few experience in epic battles.

I think you should make an entirely new template for this ship, but you can peek at both the raider and the corvette. Just make sure it matches the ship.
I would also give it a slightly hight pilot skill, because it feels it out-ranks all the other huge ships.

So fore section:
I'm not sure if this ship is designed to go head to head, rather than go side to side (like in the old naval days)
- Pilot skil: 5
- Cost: 50
- Epic points: 1,5
- Ship size: Huge
- Stats: Firepower 2 (2-4 360dgr), Evade 0, Hull 8, Shield 5
- Actions: Jam, Coordinate
- Upgrade slots: Cargo, Team 2x, Crew, Hardpoint
- Firing arc: Use the fore section from the corvette
- Special: When another friendly ship at Range 1-2 receives damage, you may accuire a target lock on the attacker

Mid section:
This will be you main point of fire power. So give it the sweet spot opportunity of the raider.
- Pilot skil: 5
- Cost: 50
- Epic points: 1
- Ship size: Huge
- Actions: Target Lock
- Stats: Firepower 4 (3-5), Evade 0, Hull 6, Shield 6
- Upgrade slots: Crew 2x, Hardpoint 2x
- Firing arc: Use the aft section from the raider
- Special: If your attack hits, deal a stress token to the defender

Aft section:
This ship needs energy... a LOT!!! So the aft much produce a lot of it.
- Pilot skil: 5
- Cost: 50
- Epic points: 1,5
- Ship size: Huge
- Stats: Energy 8, Evade 0, Hull 8, Shield 4
- Actions: Recover, Reinforce
- Upgrade slots: Cargo 2x, Team, Hardpoint
- Firing arc: Use the aft section from the corvette
- Special: If your movement is 1 or lower and you do not have stress, receive two extra energy

It's just my first attempt, but how do you feel about this?

You are great !

This looks great. Yet another reason I need to purchase a 3D printer.

@dinobaldi, you have printed this. If you know, what make and model of printer was it printed on? Would that be considered a "home" printer, where the cost could conceivably be paid for personal hobby use, or a "professional" printer which is likely outside of hobbiest means?

On the technical side, as I look at printers, one key difference is the "build volume". The printer I am considering purchasing is the Originial Prusa i3 MK3. It has a build volume of 250mmx210mmx210mm, so I would definitely have to print this model in sections. It looks like it is set up in the Thingiverse files to be pre-split. Was the one you completed printed in sections? How easy or difficult was it to build the model?

This looks fun!
