Crappy pics, but I finally got in my custom acrylic tokens!

Designed in EPS, and manufactured by Carlos over at http://mechanicalwarhorse.com/

They are much smaller than I thought, but that is my bad I realized I had a scaling error in my files lol! Overall though, still incredibly sharp even at the small size.

I made 6 types of tokens all on colored clear acrylic, Shield on Blue, ion on cyan (cause ion ain't red I'm sorry), stress on red, focus and evade on green, and a misc token on yellow.

Carlos provided the tokens properly painted with fill, instead of just the etching discoloration.

Then we have some custom movement templates for the Corvette, and a Litko critical token in the mix too.

As of now, I have gone completely acrylic for everything but the bomb tokens and the little satellites. X-wing is now safe for the ages









This is also the place I had the base for the Corvette manufactured as well -



If you like the stuff by all means contact them with your own ideas, very good quality results, hope that comes through despite the crappy pics lol! Will try to take better, proper pictures down the line, of everything.

I love them! How can I get some? Are you willing to share the files? Is it easy enlarge to match the size of the original FFG tokens?

Is there a list builder that works well on mobile devices, or an app available? x-wing-builder.co.uk works well on my iPad, but my phone is too small for it. When I play 40k I use Quartermaster and I was thinking of building an X-wing database for that, but the categories are locked and I'm hoping the designers will open it up a little before I put all the time in for that.

Battlescribe? The x-wing datafile is up to date and there is a free version of the mobile app if you don't mind the odd advert. If you have a dropbox account you can sync it to that and keep data files and lists shared between devices as well.

Admittedly the mobile interface is clearly designed by a programmer and not anyone who actually has a grasp of ergonomics but it's handy being able to create list on any synched device.

Hi Folks,

The title of this thread is scenarios so here goes I recently, like last week, picked up both X-wing and Star Trek Attack Wing only to find out almost no one in my club plays either which made me very sad of course. A couple are interested but won't get a starter set until next month and one plays X-Wing already and another has played a few STAW games but other than that it's a GW world where I game. So after my first game of STAW (I have my first X-Wing game slated for this Thursday) I realized how bad a pilot I am trying to guess which maneuver to use I set up a piece of felt on my 40k board in the basement and tried practicing moving around objective markers, etc. That got boring after two minutes and I thought I knew everything.

Then I saw Panic's cool board of the Death Star (probably everyone has one - I don't know) and thought gee that would be more fun. Then someone mentioned that there were turbolaser towers out there I could download and build and I thought well that would be more fun to maneuver around then the asteroid chits. Then I started thinking about rules for the towers (which I have since found other people had the same idea and very similar stat lines). Then I thought hey what if the towers were autonomous? Tada! Instant solitaire scenario! If this whole idea has already been developed to death then please ignore the following. I literally came up with this last night and have not tested squat. But I think it would be a good way to learn the basics without having to pretend you don't know what your opponent (who is also you) is about to do with those tie fighters. Like I said I just drew this up so it is completely untested and I am a complete newbie but I like to share (and steal others ideas - but always give credit of course)...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

DESTROY THE DEATH STAR SOLITAIRE SCENARIO

This is a reenactment of the Battle of Yavin. By using a special board setup your mission will be to destroy the Death Star by landing a proton torpedo in the thermal exhaust port.

BOARD SETUP & DEPLOYMENT

This scenario is run on the standard 3’ x 3’ board. For a truly authentic feel you should pick up a copy of Warscapes Star Base Trench Run, a pdf file containing tiles that can be setup to represent the surface of the Death Star along with a trench, and a couple copies of turbolaser towers .

Ships must be deployed in a 3” x 6” box located in either corner on the same board edge as the thermal exhaust port.

TURBOLASER TOWER

Stats: A:1/2 E: 0 S:0 H:2/3 R:1/2

There are two types of turbolasers installed along the trench. The taller turbolaser has the higher numbered stat while the shorter turbolaser use the lower number stat line.
• Turbolaser towers fire at the closest ship to it within its front facing 90 degree arc.
• Critical hits from the turbolasers are downgraded to hits.
• Turbolasers always fire last.

MERIDIAN TRENCH
The meridian trench runs along the center length of the board and is 4” wide with three turbolaser towers spaced evenly on either side. The three taller towers face away from the trench (unless they are on the positions closest to the board edge in which case their backs are to the board edge) and the short towers face in to the trench.

The thermal exhaust port is considered to be located at one end of the trench. In order for a ship to start its run it must be wholly within the trench for at least one turn prior to shooting.

Any ships that leave the board are considered destroyed and cannot reenter the board.

The trench is too narrow for any ship with a hull greater than 3.

THERMAL EXHAUST PORT
The shields on the thermal exhaust port utilize heavy shielding and can only be damaged by critical hits. The hull hit can only be removed by damage from a proton torpedo. Due to the size of the thermal exhaust port a ship must be within range 2 to fire on it.

Stats: A:0 E:0 S:2* H:1**
* Requires critical hits to remove
** Requires proton torpedo hits to remove

END GAME

The game ends when any of the following conditions are met.
1. A proton torpedo successfully removes the hull point from the thermal exhaust port.
2. The rebels no longer have any proton torpedoes to fire.
3. All rebel ships are destroyed.

When the game ends points are awarded in the following manner:
1. +5 points for torpedoing the thermal exhaust port.
2. +1 for each ship on the board at the end of the game.
3. -1 for each turbolaser tower destroyed.

Here's a way to randomly generate squad-building handicaps and ship placement limitations. It's a way to shake things up and test your squad-building abilities.

Yes, some of the X-Wing squad builders indicate that sort of info (I like Yet Another X-Wing Squad Builder). Also check out the X-Wing wiki (just Google for "X-Wing wiki").

Here is a cool resource, a lot of people already know about it but I it is a good one to have on this thread none the less:

http://xwing-builder.co.uk/build

It's a free and efficient squadron builder, featuring nearly everything including point costs and upgrade/ship/pilot abilities. Really well put together and regularly updated, I highly recommend it.

You say Fiery Crash! I say Dynamic Entry!
