Show off your Fleet!

By Bowen Creel, in X-Wing

Very nice fleets. I really like all the custom paint jobs!

My smallish fleets.

The Alliance:

The Empire ( the ISD just came in yesterday so still has some work to be done on it.)

That ISD is that something from FFG or elsewhere? I haven't seen it before.

It's a Kenner toy off from E-bay. It's far too small for FFG but will function as a frigate or the like.

Ah, I see. If you're having trouble linking the pictures from another site, make sure you copy and paste the URL that has the IMG tags in it. Otherwise, the FFG forum is going to default to a hypertext link.

I've been collecting these slowly over the course of a year, and here's where my fleet stands so far:

I think this is pretty optimal, but I'll be buying more anyway so I can do repaints and such. I really want to get seven more X-wings and a bunch more Y-wings and do a proper Battle of Yavin attack fleet.

Here's the storage system I have currently:

I'm thinking the Rebel box will fit the B-wing in the empties next to the A-wings, but I'll probably need more boxes later anyway for the increases in fleet strength I mentioned. I really want to repaint these eventually, but for now my studies in engineering (not to mention an electronic 1:35 X-wing model) come first.

One little suggestion that I've found really helps. I use a very similar tray for my stuff, and I got some small rubber bands to hold my target lock tokens together in pairs, and the numbered tokens in groups of three. Makes it much easier to find the ones you're looking for, rather than pawing through the little compartment for the match. The bands that are used on braces are perfect, but you can find other ones that work as well. I found a box of 500 in the cosmetics section at Walmart for a buck or two.

Not my fleet picture but just a simple thing I added to my deck boxes by FFG.

yes...it was :-) I played the Rebels, but had to concede after running 40 mins late! I was on the ropes...but may have been able to pull it off.

want us to tell you we're jealous of your wave 3 shippies??????

I thought the 2 hour lunch would be more impressive ;-)

Take or leave them, I want his play mat. I can wait a couple of weeks for the ships.

@Millennium Falsehood: I'm really digging the cargo craft from the X-wing & TIE fighter video games. Too big, but still too cool!

Very jealous!

Yeah, they're way too big for a standard 3'x3' play area. I use them for mission play, like protecting a fleet or raiding Imperial shipping lines. I've worked up some basic stats for them, and some of the guys actually like them. ;)

nice to see another new thread about fleet showing, i don't even wanna go digging for my old one. Once wave 3 arrives i'll get some new pics of my fleet entirety and get some more pics up
