Has there been any concept sketches done on the bases, at all?

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

No, these models were made for an X Wing Alliance TC and there are no bases planned afaik.

I've had some thoughts about the bases, but not anything substantial.

It's been suggested that I try modeling the Omicron Hive bases.....
Well here's some work that I've done for the garrison with regards to style.
I was trying for scales/carapaces.

How 'bout scales and "skin" like the "skin" on the ships, tying them together?

I like it, but how about something a little less 'turtle shell' and a little more 'insect carapace'?

Instead of a "building" on the bottom, how about it being cylindrical (like a beer can) and wrapped in a skin that looks like alot of mechanical tentacles?

Ramaglor, do you intend to texture these bases yourself? Maybe drop General Trageton a line and see what he thinks, he'll probably have awesome textures available for you in no time. He may also ask to use your model for his XWA project.
