Bringing along a pair of generic X7 Defenders (30 points each ) and a pumped up Vader (with 40 to spend) sounds like it'll be fun.

And I had that squadron in a mission in TIE FIGHTER, making me want to do that as my only purchases.

So, when it comes around, I'm gonna get the Imperial Veterans pack. I'll have no need for the bomber, and I'd prefer to trade the red defender for a regular one. Will this be the right place to ask?

Edit: I dont play the game, so I don't know point costs or whatnot, but Stele in a TIE/D with Ion Cannons, some laser cannons, launchers, and tractor beams, overkill?

So, bought my first of three Defenders, and as soon as I start to put it together, the goddamn stand snaps off inside the TIE. I suppose it kinda helps, since I'll be repainting it in white, but how do I fix it, besides drilling and replacing with a brass rod?

Yeah send them a email, preferably with a picture attached and/or proof of purchase and they are usually super good about sending you a replacement or compensation. FFG has legit solid CS, they are the anti star citizen imo.

Even if I underestimated how loving brittle the stands are?

TheHoosier posted:

GW will never die. They probably make decent money off licensing their IPs to competent companies like FFG and Creative Assembly. Not to mention the hardcore 40k players who double-down on everything and gobble up every piece of poo poo decision GW makes. I'd love for someone else to take over the 40k property and turn it into something more enjoyable/less wallet-shattering.

FFG makes a better 40k product than GW will ever make. That said, I still will occasionally buy old rear end Tyranids. I have something like 19,000 points already, I want to play a massive game with them someday.

A few hopefully final questions before I can begin actually playing.

I have no need for the starter sets, besides the rules, dice, and templates. Any goon recommend sources for the necessary bits?

Shamelessly stolen, and still learning all the interactions, this looks fun. Don't have point costs, but it looks like a decent triple trips list, for whatever that's worth.

Vessery (TIE/D, Ruthless, Tractor Beam)
Delta (TIE/D, Ion Cannon)
Delta (TIEx7)

Finally, what's the best way to paint these things? Will a standard gesso primer work as well as it does on my 40k minis?

Sure, there are a lot of things you can do with the list. I was just showing that you can easily fit Countess and two Deltas into the same list.

I was just going for too much extra. There's a fine line between making it fit and making it effective, I'm still learning that line.

Quoting from way the gently caress back, I'm getting some of these for a bunch of my old battletech minis eventually, was thinking of doing your scheme but starting a wee bitdarker with some added black, putting the mask down, going about as light as yours are, putting a mask down, the going a smidge lighter and peeling everything off. I figure it would be subtle enough to add some added patterns without going TNG Aztec or Rebel capital ship. Thoughts?

Well, first time I had my Defender and a pair of lovely TIEs, he had Poe and Luke. the TIEs did nothing, the Defender did everything. I lost.

Second game, Poe and Luke vs my Mauler, Night Beast, Dark Curse and Zeta Ace. Like, 10 turns in, nobody is dead, Poe and Luke are shieldless, and half my ties are damaged. I'm K Turning every chance I get, line up some loving rad shots, and nothing. We gave up, gonna try again.
