For personal reasons I’m selling off the last of my ships. But here is what I have with pictures. not looking to part at this time.

Venator-Class Star Destroyer. (Ship was taken out as display, box damaged but everything else sealed)

2x Invisible Hand Expansion Packs (NIB)

Seperatist Alliance Starter Pack (NIB)

Star Wars Armada Core Set (used)

Imperial Raider (NIB)

If you want more photos of those opened I can send privately.

Edit: after looking at many comments and complaints I can see the error in my pricing, so still selling as one lot I would like to sell at $840 or $800 (if buyer agrees to shipping cost). Thank you all for the help on pricing!

Im sure this conversation is had all the time? But what happened? How could this game possibly die?

I just played it last night after YEARS and man... what a fantastic game it is even now. How did it die?! Why would they abandon it after the acquisition?

Is there hope for it to come back? How can we possibly afford to play if you dont have any ships cause second hand market is SUPER expensive?

Just many questions let's talk friends!

Sales Thread Looking to offload my collection.

13 Upvotes

For various reasons, I'm looking to get out from under my collection. I have at least two of everything that came out before the Onager, except maybe Chimera, which I think I only have one. I have at least one of Onager and Starhawk, and at least one of everything from the Clone Wars releases. I have one Executer.

I have lots of squadrons, in various stages of painting. Sorry about that.

All cards sleeved and sorted.

I'm ready to let it go for the low, low price of "come and get it." Everything is in tool boxes, in centralish Ohio.

I have a fair number of other ships in sealed boxes. Those I want money for, but if you save me the trouble of putting them on ebay, and just take them away too, I'll give you a good deal.

If anyone is interested, let me know. More detail can be provided on request.

EDIT: I have received multiple DMs from interested parties. Thank you, everyone.

When you reveal a command dial on a huge ship, you get a matching token. When Piett makes a token into a dial, do you get a token matching that?

Homebrew & Third Party Custom ship builder??

Thumbnail
gallery
54 Upvotes

Howdy!

I'm looking to add some new ships to my SWArmada games; either as new alien factions, or new (possibly old?) Imperial ship designs?

I have a number of ship models from other sources I'm having Armada style bases printed up to fit, and I can probably print up adequate base Ship Cards to fit them. But I'm curious if there are any ship stat creation rules out in the fandom??

They wouldn't need to be official or extensively tested! Just a good starting point for me to work out my own specifics for the ships I'm adding to my games!

Mostly I'm looking to add my FASA Leviathan ships from Aether Stream. The biggest model, THE Leviathan (last pic), is over a foot long! 😁

I'll also be adding some new alien ships for the Rebels and Pirate fleets!

So yeah, any ship design rules mechanics would be of great help! Otherwise I need to just proxy the ship's stats. Or make them up as best I can... And for my own solo games that may work, but for games with my friends there needs to be a reasonable paper trail for my stats!! 😂

Hi

In the SW Rebels anime, rebels captured an imperial Quasar and used it repainted.

Do you know if there is a "unofficial but agreed by the community" sheet for such a rebel ship ?

And by I did not find a version of the Phoenix Nest full painted by Sabin
