I'll be checking my LGS when I'm there painting tables tomorrow to see if they're getting it in....though to be honest their prices are so fucked I pretty much only buy small ships from them and even then only because I game there semi-regularly and want to support. The store I love had to close their gaming tables down due to theft.

Yes, theft. Fucking useless twats. Anyway...

Just noticed that the T-roll is also a 2-speed maneuver. Curious to see the ships that get that! I'm also very curious to see this maneuver in game as it looks like a ton of fun.

I think my XXBB list just grew some bigger bollocks.....

I'll cut ye! :laugh:

I'm hoping there's some love for the T-65 in the incoming blister pack of the T-70.

I'm not going to hold my breath

Not unless you're under water or getting rid of the hiccups I'd wager. I'll be hard pressed to stop playing Bossk at this point no matter the releases though :grin:

 

[Tawa]

I slipped up and bought a Kihraxz yesterday......


But I'm still counting down to this core set hitting the shelves :good:

 

[Tawa]

Just a couple of close-ups

 

[Tawa]

Strength in numbers.

 

[Khorne's Fist]

Updated wave VIII.

 

[ntaw]

:laugh: I thought there would be an X-Wing only mod/title. Hilarious what they came up with...at least it's 0 points! I feel like it would be a good pairing with one of the generic asteomechs and not a named one.

 

[Khorne's Fist]

Yeah, I tend to use an R2 if there's a spare point hanging around. It's nice to have, but not a huge loss if you have to discard it.

 

[Tawa]

"Red Ace". That's a bit naughty! :good:

Personally I typically play R5s with my X's, this new card pairs quite nicely with that droid.

"Red Ace". That's a bit naughty!

Curious to see what the highest PS guy is for the individual fighter. Only one we haven't seen yet!

Poe is PS8, so unless we get somebody better?

 

[ntaw]

I mean the highest PS guy from the individual fighter pack. Sure we know Poe, but what's the PS7 guy all about?

 

[Tawa]

Just noticed that and I can't find anything on him/her anywhere. :scratchhead:

 

[R_Squared]

I picked up the starter set after seeing the movie and my son and I are enthused. Played a couple of games, and really like the mechanic.
I quite like the Empire/ first order or scum and villainy. My lad is keen on the Rebels/ republic. Having a look at what's available it's hard to know where to start.
After the starter pack, are there any essential purchases? I obviously like the look of Slave1 and the millenium falcon for my boy, we're intending on playing mainly for fun.
Also, can empire and scum and villainy join forces?

 

[Khorne's Fist]

Slave 1 is a good choice for both S&V and Imperials. They cannot ally together though, at least not in competitive play. Nothing stopping it if just playing for fun though.

 

[ntaw]

Which core set did you get, the Force Awakens one or the classic one?

 

[R_Squared]

The Force Awakens. Waterstones had a 20% off sale, so I picked up a copy for £24.
My local gaming club plays, so I'm going to trot down there and see if I can't pick up a game. At the moment, we've just got to grips with it and I'm just deciding which units I'd like to pick up.

 

[ntaw]

Not a bad price, though it seems things are a bit more expensive across the pond than they are here. As for ships...

You just can't go wrong getting the ships you love. Most ships are at least somewhat viable depending on the squad they have with them, and all of the upgrade cards are available through a number of phone apps and squad builders online if you want to just copy things out/print them off and play whatever builds you like. Can't say I know anyone outside of maybe a tournament setting that this isn't fine with.

The Falcon is a beast in the game provided you play whichever pilot (Han and Chewie are my go-to's) you like with a bunch of upgrades, and a T-70 or two would go great with it.

I've...never really liked the Firespray as an Empire ship. It came out likely before they figured they'd be adding Scum and Villainy, but really I haven't seen it used as an Imperial ship more effectively than as a Scum ship. This does however mean you need Most Wanted. As for Scum and the Empire joining forces...I could break the game pretty damn easy by taking pilots from across Factions like that. Do whatever you like in a friendly game of course, but it isn't something I would really consider. I have a ton of ships and each group plays so very differently to me now that crossovers are almost jarring to my feeble mind :laugh:

As for essential purchases....well, that really depends on whether you're able to print off/play with homemade cards so you don't have to buy ships just for upgrades to make the ships you actually like better (like getting Autothrusters for your Interceptors out of the Starviper pack then never using the Starviper because it's not a ship you're truly interested in). If you're cool with using whatever for upgrades then I would honestly say buy whatever makes your inner fanboy happy. I can come up with decently competitive builds out of just about anything, heck I won a game last night with three T-65 X-Wings; a ship most people say is basically useless despite being the namesake of the game.
