Star Wars inspired posters

With the release of The The Force Awakens fast approaching I thought I'd make some Star Wars themed posters.  Here are the ones's I've done.

Good way to curve gun control in your local cantina

Not as happy with this one.

Stay on Target - Tournament list






It's just over a month until I compete in my second competitive X-Wing tournament and this time around I've decided to play as Rebels and field my squad of A-Wings.  (In the first tournament I entered I played as Imperials and fielded a squad of 4 TIE Interceptors.  As it was my very first tournament i wasn't really sure what I was doing but I did manage to win at least 1 of my games.)

I've come up with a squad list (more on that in a minute) and unlike last time I have given it a few play tests and have been doing a few subtle modifications to it after each game to really try and maximize my force.  Here's the current list I'm playing with:

Tycho Celchu (26)
Stealth Device (3)
Push the Limit (3)
ION Pulse Missle (3)

Jake Farrell (24)
Determination (1)
Chardaan Refit (-2)
Stealth Device (3)

Gemmer Sojan (22)
Stealth Device (3)
Chardaan Refit (-2)

Prototype Pilot (17)
Chardaan Refit (-2)

Total 99 points

My aim with this list is to give my A-Wing as much protection as I can, hence that's why they've got Stealth Devices, especially with Gemmer Jojan who rolls 5 Defense Dice at range one and three and 4 at range two thanks to her special rules. 

I'm hoping the pulse missile can knock out an enemy chips and give Tycho and Jake space to out maneuver them with their speed. 

I've yet to test this list but I'm hoping to give it a go soon to see how it goes. 


What do people think?  Feel free to comment below.

Stay on Target - Custom paint jobs for my A-Wings




Recently I've been working on my A-Wing fleet which I plan to use in an up coming X-wing tournament (being held in Exeter). As my current list contains two Green Squadron Pilots I decided to do a custom paint job on two of my A-Wing miniatures to help make them stand out and to make them fit with my list.  Here are the end results.

You Rebel scum!

Now to do some more play testing with my list!
