So, I picked up the Rogues and Villains and Imperial Squadrons II packs.
Interesting stuff - I've been having fun looking up the different bounty hunters and ships.
But, with the ImpSquadsII Pack, I didn't see any new squadrons for the ImpSquads1. But, I've seen reviews of a Black Squadron TIE Fighter unit, as well as Biggs Darklighter X-Wing squadron for the Rebels. How does one get ahold of those cards? Were they tournament prizes or con-exclusives?
Secondly, I like checking out the scale of the different ships to see how close or far apart they are to one another, and I made an interesting discovery: according to Legends lore on Wookiepedia, the HWK-290 is 29 meters long, and is effectively a cargo hauler. The Moldy Crow X-Wing model is more of a roomy fighter, and nowhere near 29 meters in length at 1/270. Now, I've already noted some minor scale discrepancies among other models, like Slave 1 looking a little too large for being 21.5 meters long. The die-cast metal toys they sold a while back are a little more in line, in my opinion, but it's only a matter of a cm or so. Something I can forgive.
But, the HWK-290 is almost in line with the undersized CR-90 Corvette. While I don't mind imagining the Moldy Crow as actually being nothing more than an oversized fighter/bomber like the Havoc, I am tempted to mod the one I have for deployment with my growing 1/500 scale fleet, and putting it on a big-ship base to be deployed with the 1/500 CR-90 I have. Although, I could leave it on the fighter base, as an indication of the ship's agility.
Don't know what I'll do about deploying it with the regular scale figures. Kitbashing feels like a lot of work, but, scale is one of my little manias.
Any suggestions?
