The rebel snow speeder set the precedent of including high speed air vehicles in our beloved skirmish game. While I never much cared for the idea of a 3x3 unit that can fly 1,100 km/h effortlessly making 90º turns in a 2x2 hallway, the door is now open to such units...
Which brings us to this weeks challenge; X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. It's your task to create an X-Wing or Tie Fighter unit. Feel free to select any such model... be it the classic T-65 flown by Wedge, or the newer T-70 captained by Poe. Alternatively, you could select any of the many Tie variants, or even a specific pilot's modified vehicle.
1. The character must be canonical to either of the Canon or Legends continuities and from the chosen faction when required. They can have affinity, but the character must start in the chosen faction.
2. You may update any existing versions you already have and/or create a new one. You may update/create several versions of the character but you must ultimately select 1 you wish to run with. (this must be done by the schedule below)
3. Place a hyperlink in this forum to make it easier to find your character. You can just post the stats or image here but if changes are needed it would be easier (and save space) if you just used a Hyperlink (If you don't know how to post Hyperlinks in a forum setting please ask and we will help you. It's not hard )
4. Voting works as follows, pick your three favorite customs based on accuracy to the character, design, balance or whatever you decide makes the best incarnation of the challenge character. First place receives 3 points, 2nd place receives 2 points, and 3rd place receives 1 point.
5. You do not have to enter the contest in order to vote. But unless you enter you must have at lest 10 forum posts.
6. To make things fair you must vote in order to win the contest. You must choose three characters entered in the contest and you may not rate or vote for your own character.
7. The winner will be decided by how many points they receive. Ties will be broken by most 1st place votes, then if still tied, 2nd place votes and then 3rd place votes. If still tied, then the outcome is a tie.
8. You may not change or update the entered character AFTER the deadline.
You will have until Sun, April 28th, 2019 @8pm EST to get your submissions in. Anything submitted after this point will not be included in the voting.
Voting will start at 8pm on Sunday evening and end at 11pm EST on Monday, April 29th, 2019.
At the conclusion of the voting the scores will be tallied and the winner will start a new topic with their choice of theme.

This is a very cool idea! I'm intrigued and will try it out! Also the Snowspeeder is one of my favourite pieces in the game!

1st - Adamb0nd - really like your idea of S-foils, it reminds me dual upgrade cards from X-Wing miniature game.
2nd - General_Grievous - good TIE/LN representation, but nothing special.

2nd Adam, I like the versatility of your X-Wing but currently it can have foils open and closed at the same time due to no mandatory choice or replaces attack, etc...
1st Aragorn, solid and very well thought out X-Wing with some fun abilities

I'm really pleased with the results - thank you for the voting! This was a great fun inventing the X-Wing and it's abilities. It's pretty strange that a noob who is playing the game for less than a week was able to make something voted so high by people playing for ages. Haha! Looking forward for the next week CCC. :)

Hey you had some fresh ideas haha. And yeah post up this next week's one, you basically copy and paste the first post and just swap out the first paragraph idea part with whatever you want and update the dates in the last paragraph. Looking forward to see what you choose.
