You CAN Repaint Your X-Wing Miniatures!
It's a fact that Star Wars X-Wing miniatures come pre-painted but that doesn't mean they have to stay that way. You CAN repaint your mini's!
There are a lot of images of repainted miniatures out there but we've collated a few to help inspire you to customise your own.
Where to Start? Look for Painting Ideas
First off, the official Fantasy Flight Community Forum is a great place to start when looking for painting ideas.
You can join fellow wargamers in discussions and share images of your repainted models with the community.
There's already a lot of painters of varied skill showing off their work, so if you repaint your X-Wing mini's and are proud of the result, why not share them?
For those of you who feel more comfortable following painting tutorials to create custom x-wing miniatures, see what YouTube has to offer! After searching “repainting x-wing spaceships” in the search bar, thousands of video tutorials for repainting Star Wars spaceships appeared. There are loads of awesome techniques out there which produce some pretty cool results.
