  • Star Wars X-Wing – Fang Fighter

    Continuing my X-Wing collection, with another edition into the Scum faction. This one is the Fang Fighter, serving a role similar to the X-wing or basic TIE fighters, as a general combat addition. Not sure where this ship appears in the movies, books or other material, but that in itself doesn’t matter to me much.…

  • Star Wars X-Wing – TIE Reaper

    Continuing my X-Wing collection, with the last of the First Edition/Second Edition combo packs – ships that come with materials for both editions of the game. This one is the TIE Reaper, appearing in Star Wars Rebels, and featuring Director Krennic as a pilot option. Since I mainly fly Rebel, this won’t serve me much,…

  • X-Wing – Rebel victory

    Managed to play a game of X-Wing this past Sunday, and for the first time, managed to actually finish the game without running out of time.  The battle was pretty good, though due to lucky dice rolls it ended up going bad quickly for the Empire.  For our fleets, we are stretching the rules a…

  • Your all clear, kid!

    Continuing my collection of the initial releases of the X-Wing Second edition starships, and added the Millenium Falcon (Lando version).  Initially, I was not excited about the model – the addition of the escape pod in the front just doesn’t seem right and makes the ship look weird.  But after digging a bit, I discovered…

  • Star Wars: X-Wing Organization (revised)

    Continued to tweak and adjust the organization trays I have been working for X-Wing, and I think I have a solution design at this point.  Ended up not being as thin as I had hoped, but everything fits, and more importantly, the upgrade pieces connect well.  Going to test it out a bit in an…

  • Star Wars: X-Wing organization

    My recent game of X-Wing with my son got me inspired to start designing and testing an organization tray, similar to my design for Armada.  Basically, just a way to keep the cards organized with the tokens, since the game has a lot of little pieces.  My goal is to have something simple for each…

  • Send in the fighters

    Been slowly bulking up my X-Wing forces as well, with the addition of two new figures.  First is the TIE Advanced, so that we can properly use Darth Vader (or one of those other pilots no one thinks about).  This model of course will be intimidating, only because it is Vader, and we can now…

  • X-Wing: Saw’s Renegades

    Now that we had a chance to try the basic scenario of Star Wars: X-Wing, I have been eager to expand the collection.  However, I am making a point of only acquiring 2nd edition kits, mainly so I don’t have to deal with the conversion sets.  There are very few currently available, which helps the…
