Love the fighters. The bases look really great. And that station!

Cool stuff! What do you use the dice to keep track of? Hits?

Awesome minis and set-up. I hope you played that out (who won?) Very Happy

I'm really hoping the new paint I got for my Kzintis looks right. I had a total "start-over" last summer. The color you used is much more the direction I want to go (I'll be trying a Humbrol hull-red, as soon as the weather allows airbrushing).

Those fighters look great. I recognize the stands, but can't place where you sourced them from. Brigade?

I'm not Matt, but I think I can answer those questions:

The stands are from Brigade...

The dice are used to track the number of fighters in the hex, at least that's the way we use tehm.

Thanks guys.

No one won, I just decided it was time for a couple of pictures for fun.

Scoutdad is two for two on the answers. Since there are stacking rules and launching rules I use 2 for the number of fighters on the stand and for my plasma/drone stands it just depends.

The Kizinti are painted GW red gore.

Wolverin61 the station is scratch built out of the top of a plastic coke bottle, poker chip, sink nozel, hoze part(?), and wood for the docking ports/command pods.

Wedge, Hod'Kel and I are all working on our fighters. I am not sure what Hod'Kel is going to do without optional weapon mounts for his plasma Ds and drones though Laughing

That's a nice idea with the dice representing the number of fighters.

Another question for you: are the fighters scratch-built?

Very nice work. I particularly like the fighters and the base. Seems more "in scale" with the ships.
