They never did bring it or Warmaster back (another game I was deep into with large armies stored).
    I got loads of BFG kit, imps, Chaos, Orks, Tau, Eldar and Dark Eldar, Space Marines etc, even got a Space Fortress from forgeworld.
    Also liked Warmaster and have all the main armies except undead. Pity you so far away

    Silent death was the space fighter game for me, got a couple of fleets knocking around the house somewhere.

    Oh, I see you already have the BSG Starters, chaps! Cool. Not for me, I am affraid.
    These days when X/W 1.0 minis are on 70% sale I am filling gaps in my collection...

    ...to play some new games with scums and villains, like we did lasr Saturday at our village social club...

    They sold it exclusive at Essen with the starter.

    But I think Starbuck will be one of the first single fighter packs, too.

    Yes, it’s an interesting coincidence that so many people is dropping X-Wing just while we are launching BG-SB.

    For the moment is a promo for Essen and other occasion. In future a similar Starbuck will be available in her Viper or Raider pack.

    As far as I know, Ares has a very friendly policy about promo cards - they are usually easy to find after some time.

    This particular game night was scum and villains exclusive (with some easy Death Star raid exception) against Empire.
    Frankly I do not have any preferrence; but since scums have some really nice niche ships (like Khiraz) I like to pilot them.

    My lad would've enjoyed that Andy - he's a big X-Wing fan, though with the little man arriving he's not had much time for gaming.

    Well worth the effort Andy and it doesn't take long.
    For info paints used were an old GW snakebite leather, put on thinly and with a little white added. The red was the original GW blood red, and the missiles were tipped with GW Blood Angel red (after these photos taken). You should be able to find out the equivalent colours from GW in their new paint range (many are the same, they just changed the names...

    Sven, what I see is a very, very good painting on those starships. Comparing to the Pfalz - at least 12 parsecs ahead.

    That is good and welcome but does it mean that they will cost more?

    25 GBP each, David.



    Here are some waves of BSG space ships.

    Looks like series II to me. Heavy Cylon Raiders and Raptors.

    On the left you can spot a series I Cylon Raider.

    Picture made by Chris, who bought the game for me at Essen.

    Rulebook says that we have to buy the plastic control panels separately, like the SoG ship mats.

    25 GBP for a Colonial Viper or a Cylon Raider sounds a bit steep to me, Sven... They are very pretty paint jobs, indeed, but that price per ship may take them out of my range - while I enjoyed the original show (and haven't seen the remake), I'm not as big a fan of it as I am of the Star Wars franchise. I look forward to seeing the BSG stuff in person when it hits the stores...

    Thanks for posting the great close-up pictures

    All the best,
    Matt

    25 GBP for a single plastic starfighter ... sounds like I was right to stay with good old X/W . Now I buy new singles for 6 GBP. And can set up different mulitplayer battles. .

    That was a joke - I have no idea what the space ship pack will cost, but I guess not much more then a WoG twoseater.

    But you have to by the control panels separately.

    I'd like to wait for the reviews, especially with the control panel, but I'm not sure what the availability will be. Ares products are often hard to find and between X-Wing and WoG I don't want to spend a lot on another miniature game.

    Ah, Sven, you joker...I missed the 'sly wink' emoji's meaning on that post... Still, I shall have to wait and see - I play WoG/WoW much more often than X-W, and my collection of historical miniatures is far greater than my SW stuff...and with X-W 2.0 coming out and the supposed need to re-equip or purchase the 'conversion' packs for what one already has, I am hoping to pick up a few X-W 1.0 ships at (perhaps) cheaper prices...

    As Andrea said above, it is an opportune time for BSG to hit the shelves. I look forward, as I said, to seeing the stuff 'in the flesh' soon...

    All the best,
    Matt

    The second Viper in the core box belongs to pilot „Hardball“. The letters are soooo tiny.

    "Diana Seelix" was an origin mechanic on board of the Galactica and joined the pilots during season 3.

    Can not wait to read your report and first impressions, Daniel.
    If you have any experience with X-Wing miniatures, please try to compare both systems as far as rules, playabilty, fun are concerned.

    You guys (Sven and Daniel) are teasing me...well, I am going to start with the BG series on Showmax and then we will see...

    I wish my "strength of character" extended to other games as well.

    Having told my friends I would not buy into X-wing, I find I now have 200+ ships................
