A dude I played against had an iPad mini running the dice app at worlds. Totally legal, easy to see, but it just felt weird/wrong to play him when I was using my own dice. It just felt like he was cheating. I blame his good rolls better random number generation. :rolldice:

I'm pretty sad I ordered from cardhaus, I saved some money but I won't see my game until wave 1.

My brother in law ordered it for me for xmas, along with some wave 1 stuff from CSI. I won't be seeing it for a while :(

The worst part about putting together the AT-ST is I have to do it "again" for this mother fucker:

So the side campaign and all the extra stuff with that plus Armada isn't actually out yet right? Looking through Amazon isn't turning stuff up yet.

CSI shipped all that stuff, minus Armada, out to me yesterday.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up buying Imperial Assault, but probably not until June. I'm trying to read up on some more information, but I'm having trouble finding spoilers for a lot of the cards. Is there anywhere to browse through stuff like the skirmish command cards or agenda cards?

Also, which of the Ally or Villain packs feel like must-haves so far?

http://iacommand.com/

I found this today, and it has been quite helpful. Check the database for full spoilers of literally everything so far.

So Armada just showed up today. Got one game in, and GODDAMMIT FFG WHYYYYYYY

It seems if FFG makes anything with the Star Wars license I'll loving buy it. :negative:

It's really fun, and watching a Neb B evaporate as it broadsides the front of a Victory and dies to getting rammed it just so :black101: I can't stand it.

Core and 1 of each Fighter expansions landed today.

1 of everything else arrives tomorrow. X-Wangs has conditioned me to want 2 of everything, but I'm wary to pull the trigger on a second core or 2 of everything else wave 1.

I should be fine, right? alg isn't going to push my poop in when I finally make it back up to the FLGS?

I'm hoping to snag all the new Armada stuff at GenCon this year. And X-wing. Whatever they got, really.

I'm buying everything FFG. In multiples.

Well you loving goons went and did it, I haven't bought a gaming miniature since I was eighteen, and I've never pre-ordered anything in my life.

So I just pre-ordered an Armada Imperial Class.

None of my friends even play this game.

I don't even have the base game.

gently caress you guys.

:getin:

After it arrives, you should buy the core set so you can PLAY with that new display piece!

Think there will be an infantry game in the ff star wars miniatures line of games?

I know imp rear end is fun and popular, but it's really reskinned descent and doesn't scratch the same itch

Also I want tiny prepainted starwars men for my star wars rpg campaign

If I remember correctly, Imp rear end is as close as we are going to get. FFG can't make a boardgame because of licensing agreements, so Imp rear end is technically a miniatures game already.

Feldherr is on Amazon with Prime shipping. Prices seem "reasonable" for the market.

Nope. Bad weekend for me. However, good to know in the future! Do you play Wangs as well?

Because they would count as miniatures, and GW sure as gently caress aren't letting anyone else make minis

I enjoyed the demo. Quick play, fast games, and the collectable part doesn't seem too gross after talking to them. The highest rarity cards (legendary) are like, 1/6?

Finster Dexter posted:

1/6? As in, if I bought 6 boosters, 1 of them will have a legendary card? hmm... that doesn't sound very good at all

For a collectable game, that feels like good odds. Chase Mythics in magic are like, 2 per booster box? Maybe?

Sushi in Yiddish posted:

Is the announcement on the site? I have a bunch of expansions.... How does the descent app track which ones you have?

No announcement on the site, just confirmation at the in flight report that they are working on it. The app tracks your collection with a simple check box menu, presumably, like their other app releases so far. You can't do much without the components, so there isn't a paywall.

Yeah, it's not out till Q3. I imagine they might have copies at GenCon. I'm more pissed it's going to throw off my storage solution. Everything is so NEAT AND PRETTY

Is he from the St. Paul meta? If so I talked to him yesterday in the FFG line. I got his card for his podcast thing. Cool guy. He was coy about what he was demoing besides "new" and "I can't talk about it"

The New Republic ship hasn't appeared on film, but was mentioned in Battlefront 2 and the Aftermath books.

The Onager Class hasn't been on film either, and was only briefly mentioned in a reference book as a Seige Breaker, with theoretical mini death star tech. Who knows what it actually has.
