From Rhunt - Crashed X-Wing for Star Wars Legion (40 pts)

 This week I painted a crashed X-Wing for Star Wars Legion. I painted the pilot last week, she's blue.

These pieces are 12 inches by 12 inches and 3 inches tall.

The B1 is for scale. There are four sections. This is the biggest.

This set has four pieces and came with cards for playing a scenario. We haven't played that yet but I really liked painting this model.


The area around the ship can be difficult terrain and the ship is hard cover and blocks line of sight. Those are very important in Legion.


This piece is the tallest part, along with the other wing on the big piece.


It can't hide a whole unit but a hero can get really hidden behind this.


This piece is pretty boring but does give hard cover.


I painted these like there was fire or lava around where the crash happened. It just destroyed everything.


This piece has a dead astromech droid on it. That made me sort of sad.


All together these break up the battlefield a lot for movement and some for cover and line of sight. 


For scoring if we stacked these they would be six inches by six inches by 12 inches, so two Terrain Cubes (t) for 40 points.

Great work here Rhys! And perfect terrain pieces for Legion. I can already see Obi Wan and Anakin fighting near it, with Obi Wan having the high ground shouting something about being friends or something. 

The lava aspect is really well done here. If I were to give any advice to improve it, would be to perhaps give the brown rocky areas a bit of a drybrush in a slightly lighter color nearer the lava. To show the glow more, and to add a bit more to the transition there. 

Overall great effort here, and a cool 40 pts for you!
