X-Wing Miniatures game templates

What is this?

These are after market movement and range templates for the table top miniatures game X-Wing made by Fantasy Flight. They are decorated and designed to show off your membership and participation in the subreddit: XWingTMG. They feature full color images of the official /r/XWingTMG Snoo icons as well as the name of the sub printed in white in one of three languages: Aurebesh, Mandelorian, or High Galactic (English).

Because the cardboard templates often differ from box to box I didn't model these off of any specific set. Instead I made these from the dimensions outlined by Team Covenant from when they were designing the X-Wing Vassal mod. How I got these dimensions comes from /r/XWingTMG actually. The thread with the dimensions is here. If you poke through that you will find this article where @mu0n explains what he did to get those numbers.

Why am I doing this?

Even though I have been playing X-Wing since summer 2014, I have never found a set of acrylic templates I really liked. The subreddit community of /r/XWingTMG has been a great source of entertainment, ideas, strategy, and camaraderie for a while now and thanks to user /u/AgustB we have some amazing Star Wars Snoos.

In September 2015 another user ran a successful kickstarter to make patches and vinyl stickers from the snoos. The result was outstanding and I still have them today. Last summer I came up with the idea of making templates for those of us who haven't gotten any yet or want to show our support for a great reddit community.

How are they made?

It turns out that what I wanted was apparently very hard to do. I spent months searching for a manufacturer who was willing to print onto acrylics AND laser cut them. To be honest I gave up several times. Right at the end of the year, however, I was finally contacted by a printer who understood the project and thought it could be done.



These are printed FULL COLOR plus WHITE directly onto the acrylic and then laser cut for a precise finished piece. Everyone who has seen the prototype set has told me they look fantastic.

When will they be ready?

My plan is for them to be shipped out by the end of May 2017 so that everyone who wants a set will have them by mid June.

Why are they so much more than other ones I've seen?

It's the full color plus white printing that raises the cost. I could have had them etched instead but the Snoos wouldn't have been anywhere near as impressive in B&W.

Why are there limited quantities in each pledge level?

The printer will only make them in groups of 30 so I am planning on only getting 1 group of each type. If there is enough interest for me to get additional sets then I will adjust the pledge levels at that time. If you want to get a 2-pack or the 3-pack and it's not available any more send me a message and I will move numbers around so you can get them.
