jivjov posted:Do they have a bad reputation or something? Or too expensive? The owner and therefore the company have a terrible reputation. The bags are fine, but the maker is an absolute douche. A short list of things: Withholding promised prize support from a con because other bag manufacturers product was allowed to be sold at the con. Threatening his dissenters with physical violence. Making some ones mother cry at a con after he berated her and her son for some trifling poo poo. Legal threats to his competitors for infringing on his intellectual property, because apparently he invented laser cut foam for bags.  Romeo Filip is a oval office (and I use that word advisedly). http://www.popehat.com/2013/05/02/battlefoam-learns-why-legal-threats-can-be-dangerous/ E: Just search "romeo filip battlefoam" 3 of the first 4 results are articles about him being a jackass.

Jonas Albrecht posted:If anyone's interested, here are the squad lists for the Top 4: Help a newbie out, as for actual models the lists are thus: Rick Sidebotham- TIE Phantom, TIE Interceptor, Lambda Shuttle Jeff Beerling- YT-1300, YT-1300 Paul Heaver- YT-1300, X-Wing, Z95 Headhunter Nick Jones- TIE Fighter (multiplied by 7) Plus a butt-load of upgrade cards depending on the list. Correct?

Taran_Wanderer posted:Played my Garven, Dutch, Hobbie Target Lock build in a tournament over the weekend. Ended up with 14 people; pretty good turnout considering it was our first X-Wing event! If making this post wasn't too much effort I'd love to see this format become the standard. The acronyms and cute list names people use can be mighty confusing for newbies. Edit: Chill la Chill posted:As much as I miss the squint swarm, I think it's effectively been replaced by the phantom swarm. That extra die is really good and they more or less fly like x-wings after decloaking so it's not too bad. Case in point. Indolent Bastard fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Sep 8, 2014 |

alg posted:So my Decimator's female peg end is loose as heck. Any time I pick it up it comes off the peg. It's annoying to have to pick it up by the base when it may be surrounded by enemy ships. Anyone tried to tighten their peg hole up? ( Blue tack should work and it is reversible and non-destructive.

Any rumors on when restocks are expected in the US? I don't like the idea of paying $50 for a Falcon on eBay rather than $20 from CSI.

he1ixx posted:A guy I work with has fallen down this rabbit hole DEEP. I've been feeding him a steady diet of goon knowledge which has helped him out a lot but today he stopped by and asked "What kind of case should I buy to store epic level ships like the Tantive and Rebel ship?". I said I'd ask the experts.. Experts, please advise? Look up non-Plano storage on bgg. It's a Stanley case that the one guy uses. There may be better options but it looked pretty good.

susan posted:I gotta be honest; I don't really get why people are going crazy over the leaked SW set pictures. Internet: "Click here to see what the Millenium Falcon looks like on the set of the new movies!" Me: "Wow, it looks... like the Millenium Falcon. It looks like it's always looked. Is it supposed to look different? No? Well then... good." People are hyped that it is a set, not a cgi creation. It speaks of someone who gives a poo poo and might make something worth watching. Plus nerds are nerds and they love behind the scenes poo poo, no matter how benal.

You can learn with the core set, but grabbing an extra Tie Fighter and X-Wing wouldn't be a bad idea.

I probably have a core set, a Lambda Shuttle, and a Tie Advanced for sale (possibly more) I got a lot of X-wing second hand and I'm still figuring out what to keep and what to shift. Any chance you'd want to buy in? E: And a Phantom. Dammit I need to sit down and figure this junk out.

Devlan Mud posted:I was totally hyped for Armada until I saw the price point, and then decided, eh, I'm already invested into X-Wing, I don't need a different game that does mostly the same thing. Price might be a consideration, but for me dog fighting using fast space ships is more interesting than slow naval battles using Capital Ships. Though it seems I'm growing more and more interested in skirmish level games over full army scaled giant sized combat in general so there is that to consider I suppose...

Chill la Chill posted:Munitions aren't that great. Weapon upgrades are better but are on the fence about cost efficiency. Usually you want either high PS or low PS - 3-6PS are effectively low PS. Don't worry too much about bidding for the initiative. I keep forgetting to ask; can you post pics of all your custom paint X-Wing minis? TIA

Gammatron 64 posted:Anybody know where I can get a space play mat without breaking the bank? Most places I look, it's like $40 for a 3'x3' piece of vinyl. Cheapest option going is Glitter Felt and don't forget your coupon for 30%-40% off on any given week. Admittedly mine isn't great but for $5 you'd be hard pressed to find better. As for more expensive ones, I have no clue.

CelestialScribe posted:I'm new and kind of nervous about buying new ships. Is the game fairly balanced right now or are there ships you *have* to have? Whichever ones you want. Unless you are going to entering sanctioned events, just buy what you like to start and then get sucked into the vortex of 2-4 of every ship later

Greyish Orange posted:So I'm looking to get into this whole thing, is it still reccomended that two starter boxes is the way to go? It is helpful but not essential. If you have he budget, go for it. If you are a little tight get one core and a couple of ships. Odds are once the fever sets in you will buy two of everything you can lay your hands on, but that is weeks away.

It there a go to painting guide for x-wing? I've looked around but most are not that good. I primed my Lambda Shuttle as I hate the Yacht look of the stock white ship and want to make a more military looking ship in dark grey.

Tekopo posted:I have acrylic washes (I think, they are just the standard hobby stores shades, right?). So the idea would be to: Yup. If you don't have a spray green, you can brush on the paint you do have, but it will be many many coats and brushed paint has a better chance of creeping under your tape. If you can use a friends airbrush set up, it will take you a few minutes to finish the painting. Or just buy a can of the green you do like. The only additions you may add: 4. Touch up your paint job (if the wash makes the panels too muddy). 5. Seal with matte sealer.

Lemon Curdistan posted:I've just gotten dettol and successfully used it to strip other minis so I might give repainting my Firespray a shot. I wouldn't bother. The factory paint jobs are so thin you can just go over them. Many painters have started stripping ships, but quickly gave up and just primed over the original paint.
