"Still no X-Wing Wave 6 Topic...?" Topic

Oh well, I guess I'd better start the ball rolling….

Gotta say I'm pretty impressed – the Most Wanted pack is an extremely smart move, meaning the 4 set wave actually brings 7 different ship types into play for the new faction, which should make them competitive from the start. The prospect of a really cheap Z-95 horde looks interesting too, while some of those upgrade cards look very tasty. My bank manager says I'm not looking forward to this….

Nice! About time they made a Bounty Hunter Faction instead of forcing them to be Imperials.

I will get at least one of each of these, if nothing else, so I can do the solo rules for them! link – is where they will appear!

It would be nice if in the pack that contains the Y wing and the Z95 if they would have come out with some new ships for them instead of repainting those ships.

The Z-95 is pretty much the staple of non-government forces in the Star Wars universe though – frankly *not* doing it would've been nuts. The Y-Wing's not so clear cut, but still very common in pirate forces, and with three new sculpts in that wave they're not exactly copping out.

I really like the re-use of ship models with new paint jobs, especially when they mix it with new stuff as they are in this release.

Breathing new life into the Y-Wing?

Yep – the bomb cards (presumably replacing a torpedo slot with a bomb one) should give the Rebel one a decent buff, especially against swarms.

…so I can do the solo rules for them!

Thanks, Richard! List so far is impressive!

Speaking of impressive, went to the main 'Download' page of the group… ;->=

VERY cool stuff. Definitely blows the doors wide open for material for the game.

Awesome stuff! Did anyone see a pic of a Nebulon B Frigate for Star Wars x-wing? I thought I came across an image from GenCon of one with a Millennium Falcon, X-wings and Y-Wings…

Maybe a scratch build or a 3D print – there was no announcement of Imperial Huge ships unfortunately.

I thought it would be odd to include that ship, it'd be huge, that's for sure! Whoever made it, did a bang-up job on it though, it looked like a legitimate gaming piece!

Anyways, Thanks for the info, looking forward to wave 6!

I'm still half hoping for it to be honest – it's twice the length of the corvette, so at fudged scale just about feasible, and it would make one hell of a centrepiece….

Snap on Wave 6 – as the first full wave of EU ships it was a risky proposition, but I really like the looks of what they're doing here…. :-)

I'd be more interested in it as table terrain…

…that shoots back. ;->=

Oh, I agree totally, would make an awesome centerpiece or as a static piece of terrain that shoots! I believe it was used in an anti-fighter roll so it should be nasty and well suited as a target for bombing runs.

Yeah – 12 turbolasers for ship to ship work, 12 laser cannons for anti-fighter, and 24 TIE fighters….

Was it a large one or was it from the Star Wars Armada (fleet scale) game FFG is about to release?

What I saw as Dom Skelton noted was a scratchbuild, it was just incredibly well done and looked like a professional product, base and all…it was definitely large because it had some other X-wing scale ships with it, it was very cool and I'd buy it if FFG made it!

hey, yeah, that's the one that i saw!
