The canonical Face pilot ability would be to let other pilots spend his Target Lock. Which wouldn't be a bad ability, honestly.

Them MWG boys are at it again! This time with an Epic ship and EVEN MORE rules failures!

Goddamnit every video with that Quirk guy makes me cringe, regardless of game system.

In other news, I finally bit the bullet and got the X-Wing starter box. Where do people get those cool ship stands that let you pivot the ships so it looks like they're banking? I think that poo poo looks classy as gently caress.

Chop off the base ends and attach a ball bearing and magnet to them.

I did this (admittedly with BBs instead of ball bearings) and the stupid ships just spin around wildly. I would say I need bigger magnets but they're already glued in.

EDIT:
100 points

Chewbacca [Push the Limit, Jan Ors, Recon Specialist, Millennium Falcon] (51)
“Leebo” [Push the Limit, “Mangler” Cannon, Outrider, Stealth Device] (49)

I have both these ships and I've never even used the Falcon. The idea is that Chewie never gets crits, and can PTL to get an evade, then another evade and a focus from Jan and Recon Spec. Leebo throws out crits and does his best to not get shot.

OR

100 points

Chewbacca [Push the Limit, Jan Ors, Recon Specialist, Millennium Falcon, Hull Upgrade] (54)
Wild Space Fringer [“Mangler” Cannon, Lando Calrissian, Outrider, Engine Upgrade] (46)

A slightly better Chewie and a cheaper YT-2400 that uses Lando when possible.

Anyone who's that bad at a game despite having played it enough to make a YouTube series out of it is so stupid it's probably infectious, so I wouldn't chance it.

Thanks to whoever it was a few pages back who suggested steaming the wings off of the YV-666.

I held it over the kettle for about thirty seconds and they just popped off with no damage, so it's way easier to store now.

AND I got a cup of tea out of it, so it's a win-win.

How well do they go back together after you do this? I juuuuust managed to get mine to fit in the Plano case but I've been thinking about making it collapsible for simplicity's sake.

Yep, I held it over for roughly 30 seconds and then firmly wiggled it off. If it won't give, just hold it over for a little longer and try again rather than force it.

So The Shadow Caster was introduced in the last episode of Rebels. It's basically a remodeled version of Asajj Ventress's Banshee pursuit ship from The Clone Wars.

If FFG mines this thing it'll probably be the a large base scum ship with 360.

I think people have been using tea kettles to get that jet of steam coming out the spout directly on the joint. I hear another method is using a hair dryer.

The two side fins should be one piece, that's the one that pops off.

The horizontal wings towards the back are one piece. With some heat the whole part should pop off. https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/188383-hounds-tooth-wing-removal-pics/
