When will it be available?

A beautiful ship. How big is it?

KeithRK28 Dec 2014 11:44 a.m. PST

It looks like it will be similar in size to the Tantive IV Blockade Runner, around 12-14 inches in length.

The exact release date hasn't been stated. Sometime in the first quarter of 2015, probably in March.

I may have to look at getting that one.

Nice looking ship!

The tournament players who need official cards aren't going to be happy that the much needed upgrade card for the TIE Advanced is included in this giant ship model.

I definitely want one.

Yup posted on it earlier last week. Great looking ship!

Ya that looks awesome. I'm just getting into Xwing with my son and I will have to possibly avoid showing him that otherwise he'll want to get it ;-)

I wonder if they will have that ship in the new Armada game (in a future wave)?

I have seen the prototype model at Fantasy Flight Games.

The good: It looks real cool. The underside is very interesting too.

The slightly disappointing: The Tantive IV looks larger due to its bulkiness and the Imperial Ship's streamlined nature.

If it was me, I would have made the Imperial model even larger, but the price tag would have gone up considerably.

Bear in mind I saw the prototype in a display case and the models were not side by side.

It does look cool enough that it might entice me to buy the game, I have been waiting for Armada to come out.

Well, the Tantive IV is a converted merchant ship, I believe, so it might be a bit large compared to a ship of similar capabilities that was specifically designed to be a warship.
