The HWKs looks awesome - can't find a dial though - so it depends at the moment...

For my homebrews, I aiming on using the summary cards with wipe clean surface..betya that would do.

Here are some pictures from a game we played on the weekend. It was the first time we had used the Firespray-31 and we also threw in the b-wing and tie-bomber for the first time for good measure.

150 points so we could field a few ships and play with upgrade cards too (which we've not really done much of).

The b-wing and tie bomber mashed each other with reciprocating missile salvos and then the Firespray dropped a proton bomb in just the right place take off the last point of damage on the b-wing and a lucky "worth 2 points of damage" card drawn on the a-wing in the same explosion took it out completely.

Over all it was an imperial victory (the first in the long time) but Wedge was the last to die and took out more than his points in ties.

Setting up

Bomb dropped and the Firespray has sped off

Only x-wings left but it's all getting crowded in one place on the mat

The imperials were left with 2 ties at the end having wiped the rebels out.

Meh, like I'm in a position to complain.. I have knawed off both my kneecaps in joy at the concept that out there someone else still actually plays games.

it took about 15 minutes of attention (the borders) and then 15 minutes of carefree happy spraying and pissing about..then a lot of watching paint dry and cleaning things I shouldn't have had to clean if I'd put 2 minutes thought in (e.g. the table.. brushing down the sheet because it went against the cat basket covered in cat hair etc etc).

Next step controversially the entire web says with everyday frequnet use the dials wear thin.. I'm not a card protector guy, you don't see my comics in individual baggies, but if playing the game 10-20 times is going to make it unplayable I do get a bit itchy and tend to be over precious and smingey about my junk.. so this shizzle needs to be fixed right now.. As previous I found a simple youtube link on how to fix by a great guy.

So I figured I'd give it a bash.

The only thing you might not have is the awesomeness of the 80s which I mentioned in the eldar thread.. fablon.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clear-Sticky- ... 0548593220 (2.99 a roll you'll use about 1/100 for 6 templates)
So ingredients set up..(took me an age to find my craft knife)
Image
If your anything like me all your stuff is already bolted together really firmly, I used the flat edge of my old craft knife blade as a very gentle jimmy to lever the bolt off..doing this carefully took most of my time..
Image
Use the original card spru to draw out a stencil of the outer ring
Image
Use the roof of the dial to draw the inner circle
Image
now cut.. but if the video taught me one great thing its make the inner thing much bigger there are no details you need near the middle..its kept down by the thing being bolter together and it interfering with the dial movement or squidging around the column is a bugger (I started doing that 1 (it caught on the column) and threw it away rather than killing the dial)
Image
Gently lie it on top to check it meets the criteria (covering the details you want to preserve not messing with the central column or overflowing too much)
Image
Peel back layer and stick down.. this was my first attempt, and with my crap skill level and stuff you can see it was nearly exactly what is required..the other 5 were perfect.
Image
No skill required (its me)- about 40 minutes to do 6 dials..about 10 pence in resources presuming your going to use the fablon elsewhere (I am its going to be wipeable marker boards for my homebrew ships.. pick a manuevre tick a box and then wipe clean... but thats not going to happen till next week I swear.. honest)..

Feel free to chunder amongst yourselves.. I personally would love to see lists your fielding..a pic or two of a battle here and there etc etc.. (I mean start your own threads if you want but...) Star wars!!
If you want a topic for banter-- is it universally agreed han shot first, anyone willing to devils advocate?


Thanks for that.. I just did my whole flotilla as they were starting to wear thin. :D
