Brunas posted:Honestly? I wouldn't, epic takes... a very long time. The epic ships are pretty much just bad, outside of like 250 rebel corvette builds that are janky. If you want to win as imperials, I'd just take as many tie fighters as you can fit into a list (12x12 for 144, 10 fos for 150?). Just for fun, take whatever! I played 7 advanced and a raider, it was pretty fun, but mostly bad. The question wasn't if I should play it competitively. I just want to give it a shot and I have a willing partner.

Chemmy posted:How's your game go? Mine? Talas finally put an end to the reign of terror of AAAY, with some pretty comically unlikely things happening all game. Stresshog shoots primary range 3 on omega leader and gets one damage through (one stopped by palps), then lands two more damage through with the tlt Jake shoots focus/TL prockets at a bumped inquisitor and does 0 damage. Pretty fun/ny game, I forgot to take screenshots because I'm a bad person™

Oh cool, then I'd say bring a raider with a bunch of cool stuff, but don't get carried away with too many tie fighters or the game will take hours. Around 7-8 ships per person seems like the sweet spot to have things not be tedious?

Yeah epic works best with a gentleman's agreement to ~forge the narrative~ and bring at least one epic ship and no super jank. Try playing the campaigns included with them.

Yeah I'm pretty sure my buddy is gonna run all 4 IG88s (because why the gently caress wouldn't you?) and an assortment of other things. I want to run my Raider and...stuff.

I own 4 Aggressors, and have only played with all of them once. Totally worth it.

You know, I have 4 basic squints that will almost certainly never see the table anyway since I generally run Bloodstripe Soontir or Royal Guard Carnor, or both... The white is pretty much pure white, but what's a good match for the black?

I just bought another HWK because hell yes HWKs are the best.

Two more and I can run a list of nothing but HWKs

Talas posted:Not to mention that moment were seven ships were stressed or those full blanks with four green dice... It's like my game against Chemmy this week. Rolled 4 evades with Soontir against a 1 hit shot from OL or somesuch. Procket shot? Rolled nothing on 4 dice. Okay whatever dice.

Strobe, just wanted to let you know that ZenMastaT and I might not get our game in this week until Sunday. He works nights, I work days, and there's a timezone difference. We might be able to squeeze it in Saturday, but I have a previous commitment that may run long.

Has anyone been to Empire Comics and Games in New Albany, IN? I'm in the area and they are the brick and mortar store for cardhaus.com; you can order for in store pickup but it wouldn't be available until tomorrow when I'm gone. I'm wondering how much, if any, X-wing stock they have in store.

CoolStuffInc is having an X-Wangz Sale and the prices are Pretty Good. Finally picked up a Gozanti (not Raider ) (for $35).

Tekopo posted:I really like the look of this list: Use the extra point to give Vess Crack Shot, not VI or Mk2. There's not much stress around right now, you haven't got any massive need to get him up to PS 8 to shoot before the rest of the list. Crack that Tractor Beam through.

With the sale, I'm going to be a huge piece of poo poo and buy the last few ships I need to have one of everything. I now have all the epic ships.

Yeah, I thought about that as well. I wish I could have enough points of ordnance as well, alas that is too many points. I just love the synergy in that list and the fact that you can both have offensive strength while still making the barons pretty durable, unfortunately it does paint a big fat target on Vessery, although I guess you can just take a focus token on him and use it defensively.

I got all excited when people said the raider was $35. It's $75 on CSI

Did they make a mistake on pricing for a little while or something? edit: speaking of the CSI sale, are there any essential upgrade cards worth buying the Imperial Assault Carrier or the Rebel Transport for? dropkickpikachu fucked around with this message at 19:40 on May 26, 2016 |

Gozanti has Wampa, Agent Kallus. Rebel Transport has Wes Janson, R3-A2 (needed for stresshog), R5-P9.

Yeah the Transport is the Epic ship to get for the Rebels if you're interested in upgrade cards. The Tantive IV has C3PO and R2D2's crew version, which are pretty key to "Fat Han" builds. Not much else, really. I guess it has Han (crew). I hear he's not terrible on a Ghost. (He's terrible on anything else.)

Thanks guys. I think I'll grab the Transport as my first Epic ship with this CSI sale! A buddy of mine likes to play scenarios too, so I'm sure I'll get plenty of bang for my buck.

The rebel transport is a good ship to practice airbrushing on. Tantive 4 would look nice with a Sabine pattern.

I got the Tantive 4 (for Christmas from my son) for the model mostly. In hindsight I REALLY wish I'd asked for the Rebel Transport instead.

Last week I had to work, so I missed the game but apparently my friends played a 400pt game, where each side fielded an epic ship (Raider and Corvette IIRC), they said it took all night but they had a blast. I'm so angry at my co-worker for calling out while I was the one On Call. I was all packed up and ready for x wangs.

Nah bro, either a hard 2 or a 3 bank could clear the Raider's footprint next turn, and a boost would make it certain.

Really tempted to get Most Wanted and a Firespray from the sale. (Largely to try and run dumb builds with Kath.) Although the Gozanti on sale is tempting...this where Xwing gets you, I'm not super into Imperials but the price and what it gives you... Of course if I buy anything I'd want to pick up another Ywing and a TIE advanced to have some extra minis for painting. It's weird how certain stuff just isn't on sale, like the K Wing or Kihrax. Is that because they are out of stock?

On Monday I tried out of the list I was thinking of running for reigonals, Whisper, OL and Inky. Whisper got destroyed in a single hit. It was a combination of really bad luck and very poor piloting. I 'm going to try to get at least one practice game with this list, but I'm not expecting to do very good this weekend, but might as well play, the entry's free with the ticket. I also picked up the interceptor pack, so now I have 3 intreceptors. And I finally got my SD I got from Ebay. Any goons going to Tacoma Reigonals (at ETX) this weekend? I might seen you there. Do the secret goon sign. There isn't a secret Goon sign
