flightless greeb posted:I don't think it's supposed to bend from the factory is it? Oh yes it does. It has hinges baked into it straight from FF's Chinese factory. Makes storing them SO much better. But like I said, take care when bending it. *E* What is a good glue that works with X-wing miniatures? *E2* Upon further examination, they do not seem to bend very well. I think I have been had. *E3* Yep, they broke. I am an idiot for falling for this and deserve the damage to my poor Starvipers. I need to find some superglue.

I can't help but laugh at it, especially Starvipers, plural. For future reference, the only small based ship with articulation is the TIE striker. The U-Wing, Lambda Shuttle, and Upsilon also have wings that move. The Dank X-Wing memes page on facebook is a good source of funny and stupid xwing stuff. One of the admins posted a meme with a punchline of "autistic screeching" and all the initial comments were "that's pretty hurtful and I'm disappointed in this page" Cue a flood of edgelords tripping over themselves to run in and "WELL ACTUALLY TRIGGERED MUCH YOU SNOWFLAKE?" The internet is terrible

RAC with Whisper or Quickdraw? What's more fun to run?

Whisper is really fun to fly. QuickDraw is probably more competitive.

IronSaber posted:Were you guys aware that the StarViper has hinges for bending back the fins? It doesn't, technically - you can force it. but you're better off popping the two halves of the body apart and reshaping the wings so they actually pivot.

Dunno about rebels, but Lt Dormitz and a bunch of TIE/sf all with hyperwave comm scanner is hilarious for imperials.

I had a dream the next wave was announced and it was three variants of a Sentinel class landing craft and a scum TIE Bomber. I don't know what this says about me.

All the goofy redundant imperial shuttles are so neat to me, I wish there was some kind of campaign or land based interactive mode that would create a reason to include them!

I dream of FF releasing a Captured Lambda Shuttle. Pilots are Han, Chewie, Rebel Pathfinder, and Rebel... intern or whatever. Title is Tydirium. Can have like 3 crew slots, maybe throw in Yoda as the highest point cost Rebel crew.

Got a store champs running today, that I couldn't go to. In the 5th round, the top table has the only two undefeated players. A Miranda/Nym list and a list with 4 TIE bombers with unguided rockets/seismic charges/lightweight frame, and Wampa.  There's a 3-1 list that's almost the same, except he's dropped 1 bomber and all the seismics for a seinar specialist with TLT. His only loss was to the 4x bomber +wampa list.

It's pretty smart; using Unguided Rockets on the Bombers effectively replaces their primary weapon. Hm. Wonder if I can get away with that on a Punisher...

It's 4BZ all over again, right? K-turns that can't get blocked by big based ships, and you can't run efficiency generics without upgrades anymore competitively, but it checks the boxes. Quantity has a quality all its own. Edit: Some recent store champs have had good showings by 4x Karthakk Pirates with intel agent. B-wings have probably fallen behind the power curve, but I am really considering QuadViper Z once Guns for Hire comes out. Most recent Kraytkast had a mea culpa about four aggressors with TLT and how it was surprisingly good late game. The same theory should apply.
