Not just another A-wing--this one has a front/back arc!

And it looks pretty cool too (looks like they got the proportions right this time!)

Remember, they didn't get the proportions right, "This time" so much as they got the proportions right on this A-Wing itself.

So, the problem I have is that I thought of a squad that was 4 A-Wings and Chewie in the Falcon (it fits, 200pts all naked).

And then I decided to call it 'Porg Squadron'

And now I need to buy 4 A-Wings and paint them up as Porgs.

**** it.

@SOTL do what must be done.

Do what must be done, Lord SOTL, do not hesitate. Show no mercy.

Oh I see a challenger for my Zerg infested rebel A-Wing swarm

(FYI I am totally stealing that Chewie + As list idea, sounds fun).

Proof of concept. Not sure about the engines all being orange, that could change.

Edit... it changed.

The fact that Chewy and 4 As fits exactly in a 200pt list means this was meant to happen. This makes me want to buy more A-wings! Of course, The Black Series porgs are only a little bigger than an A-wing. I could just drill holes in their bellies...

SOTL, that might be the greatest thing I have seen since I started playing this game.

Any tips on painting the new A-wings? Did you strip the paint first, if so, how?

You generally don't need to strip X-Wing minis first, the factory paint is pretty thin and you can paint right over it.

Oh dear lord they each have different expressions, that is glorious. As a certain director once said:

"Oh, its beautiful"

You know I have thought of a build with Chewie and 3 A's but now you really got me thinking of using 4...and I still only have 2 right now...my wallet hates this. But I love this. I feel so confused.
