Spare Scrap Stations

By Muelmuel, in Star Wars: Armada Painting and Modification

I'm somewhat of a hoarder, so I've hoarded almost all my Armada stuff in the boxes. That means alot of spare dials and cardboard. I've been thinking of getting a 3D station, so I was fooling around with the spare stuff and came up with these:

Rabble supply station

Imperil squadron station

The main disc is simply a speed dial with three squadron tokens and topped off with a victory token. The lower sections are some more victory tokens and and tapering off to the smaller round cardboard that is leftover when punching out shield dials plus rectangular cardboard leftover from the ship token to make auxiliary platforms. Can mix and match to one's preference

They can also easily hold objective tokens if they happen to be scenario objectives. If you want a neutral station you can just swap the top for an engineering token or something else 🥰

Here is a Imp variant of a supply station

And a rabble squadron station

If you feel that you have no need for your initiative token, you could use it to make a landing platform

I used the squadron tokens again for the platform but you could use your spare numbered tokens to give the platforms different numbers. I think there are many other ways that spare stuff can be reused. What will you make? :)

Wow!

My suspension of disbelief is definitely fine with that...

That's really innovative! Well done.

If you can come up with anything to do with a giant pile of maneuver dials then I'd love to see that too.

Maneuver dials? Do you mean the command dials?

Took me some thinking, they are made of plastic and don't quite blend with the cardboard stuff, but here are some thoughts:

Space colony

Tried to replicate an abstract version of an O' Neill type 3 space colony. Don't have anything else to represent those solar fins so I tacked the corner markers on.

Else, perhaps you can expand the squadron parking lot:
