My starter set came in for this awesome game and I felt the tie fighters needed to be painted. Coming from a Warhammer hobby, painting these was exceptionally fast! They're about the size of a fingernail (if not smaller) so a black base coat, followed by some lines and a wash is really all they need. It's important though not to go too dark (did that on my test ship) since from a distance it's really hard to see detail if the grey doesn't pop. Pew Pew Pew!
That is an AWESOME photo :)
ReplyDeletePropaganda photo almost to join the Empire! I'm going to paint the pegs though so that they're black. I don't like how they look in this photo.
DeleteAgreed, I can't stand plastic flight bases myself. Have you considered thin metal wire painted black?
DeleteI play both at my house and a friend's and my case might put some strain on thin wire. Do you find it bends really easy? I wouldn't want my fighter pilots looking drunk and needing to straighten them out all of the time :)
DeleteVery nifty!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Had a game yesterday went right down to the wire, last shot last turn won the game for my opponent. So much depth to this game and the fighters are a very important part!
