One of my local game stores just said hes getting his new expansion shipment Wednesday. I just preordered and im pretty excited. One shuttle, one HWK, two B-wings, and two Bombers.

Been messing around with wave 3 and other than the Bomber, these maneuver dials are miserable.

No wonder they made Adrenaline Rush.

A wolf was no less a wolf because a whim of chance caused him to run with the watch-dogs.

Picked up 2 of each small ship and 1 Lambda. Cost me about the same as a Corellian Corvette :)

Now to plan new storage for all this poo poo.

My old plano cases weren't cutting it anymore so I just ordered the bigger plano 3952

Was thinking of getting the custom Battlefoam tray and case but its more than I wanted to spend to carry around my plastic spaceship game.

The bomber is my favorite out of the wave. I'm trying to figure out a good way to equip them without going overboard.

Scimitar Squadron Pilot with two decent upgrades is about 26 points.

Maybe one with an assault missile and proton bomb. Then the other with a homing missile and an advanced torpedo.

I got this and ordered two huge two inch thick sheets of pluck foam from a random foam website. Im going to fill the bottom with pluck foam and it only cost $35ish.

Haha, I guess we read the same BGG thread because I bought one too. It's huge but perfect for me since I have 2 of all the large ships.

Is there a secret to getting the Lambda wings to go down like this:



Mine won't go down that far and I am afraid to break it.

I'm glad someone asked because I've been wondering the same thing.
I really wish the shuttle had any kind of turn that didn't cause stress. It's tough, but maneuvers so bad.

My FLGS "got shorted" on their wave 3 order, and didn't bother to tell me I wasn't getting my preorder until I saw it had been released at other stores and called them up. They also changed their name suddenly and without telling anyone, so when I did call it was really confusing. :thumbsup:

Our FLGS owner upon noticing popularity of the game cranked medium ships up ten bucks, small ships by five and starter boxes by ten.

Well, guess I don't need to buy more than two regular interceptors now! To be honest, I'm not at all surprised at this new scheme, and as long as it's not more expensive than two individual ships I don't mind. More options without more silly EU ships is good by me.

That said, the Royal Guard Interceptors look silly and I doubt I'll put that thing on the table. Soontir Fel is gonna be rockin' the bloodstripe one from now on though :getin:

This probably means we can expect similar things for Rebels, like A-, B-, Y- and X-wing packs, doesn't it? Yikes! My Christmas wishlist may get pretty full pretty quick.

$29 retail puts them on par with two regular ships, so that's not bad. They'll probably be $20 from most online places.

I would love that if it had the pilots from the (in hindsight) terrible books that I loved in the 90's.

Hope you're having an amazing day

Not sure I'm keen on the red interceptors, but naturally I'd want the cards.. there has to be someone out there with two plain interceptors who'd swap models, right? :)

Any word on release dates? Couldn't see a date at a glance.

Also, in related news, I picked up an 8' x 4' board over the weekend, with the intention of making a spazzy nice Malifaux board and using the leftovers to make boards for some other games, including X-wing! Anyone got any decent guides to painting starfields on big boards? I don't want anything ludicrously over the top, just something subtle enough that we're not playing on a flat black surface.

Actually now I think about it, flat black is probably the best way forward :/

Gonna run a total gimmick squad at 100 points.

Should come out to 99 points. I will get owned so bad. But I'll do it in style :dukedog:

If you get it online the starter should be less than $30, and then buy whatever 3-4 single-ship expansions you fancy to round it out. Try to get a decent mix of Imp vs Rebel, although you'll probably want more Imperial hulls overall.

A Core set, 1 X-Wing Expansion and 1 Tie Advance/Interceptor will give you enough variety to mess around with at first until you decide to really take the plunge and get everything.
