X-wing miniatures Tombstones: Conversions

Playing the game, I quickly became annoyed with how boring the numbers were when using the default tombstones. Especially since Star Trek does have the fancy faces! Because of this I went online and found others that had the same idea... This got me working...
I'm gonna getcha...

Getting started

Firstly I started getting the correct measurements for the original tombstones. This would be 15mm wide, 16mm high and 2mm thick. With the curvature to take into account, any one with some Photoshop skills can get underway.
That's a lot of tombstones!

Next...

up is finding the pictures. Luckily our good friend Google helped me with this part of the task, and I quickly found some decent pictures for me to use. Placing them in the file was done quickly using selection and layer switching. Being a (almost solo) Rebel Player, this was my primary target and I made a few to get me started
Some of the pictures were taken to resemble their respective cards

Finally...

I just printed it out on normal paper (with high DPI) and cut it out. Using simple white glue, I then pasted them on top of the existing tombstones and left them to dry overnight
Just letthing them dry overnight. One for the model, one on the card
This left me with some cooler models to display in my next tournament! For the nitpicky players you might meet during some plays, there's still one side that has numbers on it, so you can easily switch them out!
Victory was achieved on the battlefield!

For the fans of this work, and those who want to make them themselves, can find my template here! Do not forget to at least thank me in the comments :)

Final Fantasy XV

After a good three years without a new entry in the main series, Square-Enix has finally released the game some of us have been waiting on for the better part of a decade. Most fans agree that the series has been in decline for smoe time and had their last hopes pinned on this title. With the promise of a returned focus on a limited cast of characters, a more fluid and open game style and the gorgeous graphics that were one of the few redeeming factors of the newer entries, it certainly proved that the series is not yet running on it’s final legs. 15 and still going baby!

DreadBall: Teraton Tactics

Image
Being a Mantic Pathfinder and a Mantic DreadBall Fanatic, I often get asked about how to play with several DreadBall teams. What tactics they should play, which are their strongest points or just their flaws. What MVP's should we really go with, and how will the team grow in a league? Trying to educate people in a group, I thought I'd write my opinion down for all the teams. Here come the Teraton marching on the pitch. The Ukomo Avalancers appear!

Star Wars is making a new debut this fall and many other corporations and brands are feeling the downpour of pressure in order to produce something linking them to this upcoming success.

Disney Infinity 3.0 was introduced bringing us an upgrade for the 2014 hit Disney Infinity 2.0, but is it better than the previous, or simply another copy of the previous.. Play whatever you want!
