Star Wars Armada - Tie Fighters Painted

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!

    1. Propaganda 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.

    2. Agreed, I can't stand plastic flight bases myself. Have you considered thin metal wire painted black?

    3. I 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 :)

    1. Thanks! 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!
