X-Wing Repaints for my Star Wars Campaign


  Repainted one of my YT-1300 transports. I will use it in an upcoming X-Wing campaign as my Heroes' ride. I haven't come up with a name for it yet but tossing around these: The Red Ghost, The Solo Cup, The Stellar Frisbee, The Wayward Lady. I still haven't decided but i really like the paint-job. I just used Tamiya red and painted over the darker grey areas leaving only white behind and added some more red to other areas.




This Firespray is painted in subdued greys and black and will be the ride of a pair of up and coming bounty hunters. A pair of twin brothers, Castor and Pollux, who will cross paths with our intrepid band of heroes on occasion.They wear armored flightsuits and carry matched ion/blaster pistols. I used the Jango Fett model from the WOTC Star Wars minis game.


The main antagonists will be a ruthless an amoral Corporation from the Corporate Sector who uses various TIE fighter models (since they manufacture them on multiple worlds) to enforce their will across the sector. They all have red accents on their solar panels to represent their "militia" status.


One of the Interceptors is an ace pilot with over 15 kills to his name and has a red slash across his solar panels rather than just the panels themselves painted red. His name is Baran Thorne and he is a former Imperial pilot who left Imperial service and accepted a contract with the TriSec Corporation to train its pilots in Imperial tactics. He even occasionally leads patrols himself just to keep his flight hours up and skills sharp.



The Long Range Patrol Squadron 55 uses a licensed copy of the Tie/Advanced since the Imperials have switched production over to more modern models like the Tie Defender and Interceptor. The Hyperdrive equipped Ties allow TriSec to extend its influence into other systems and to escort shuttles carrying corporate commandos on espionage missions against their rivals.



The campaign will be a combination of X-Wing and R.I.S.K. roleplaying system i developed for my kids to play. X-Wing for the space battles and R.I.S.K. for the ground stuff and in-between scene stuff the players will most likely try to do like upgrading their ships or negotiating missions. If you want to use the R.I.S.K. rules they can be found here on RPGnow.com. Tomorrow I will post the cast of characters...
