That looks interesting, I think the huge ships are about to wipe most of their escorts out!

First look at what some teams are going to be: Gunnery Team, Sensor Team and Engineering Team.

Anybody else notice that the CR-90 is said to be in stores later this month?

I want to know who won that battle!

I want to know more about these Team cards listed...

Also, looks like a third title for the corvette: Jaina's Light. Interesting~

And that Jaina title, most likely a title anyways.

I find it interesting that he has three Firesprays with Stealth devices. But given the double your agility value weapons, and the added dice from range 4 and 5 the addition looks viable. It's an interesting metagame shift to facilitate an approach on the bigger ships...

First thing I noticed was how much BIGGER the Corvette is than the Transport...

Notice the tie defenders on each side of the Firespray. Those are not on the lists. There are also two red royal guards. Looks more like a staged picture, than an actual game.

It's a stark example that model scale isn't very important in this game -- it's the rectangular ship bases that actually count, and vehicle dimensions are abstracted all to hell.

Also, notice the swarm of TIE Phantoms in that clear spot in the upper right hand part of the page… you didn't think the range ruler was sitting there for no reason, did you?

While this picture might be staged with the defenders and the cloaked phantoms, in all of the pictures on the page, including this one, there are Z-95s on the table.

Yet no E-Wings -- unless they were equipped with a cloaking mod too.

I think the pics with Defenders are from the standard Epic game. Looks like a similar build as the first picture.

I'm very happy to see the pictures...

Seeing the size of the Transport and CR-90 compared to the A-Wing, Y-Wing, Z-95 and the Millennium Falcon convinces me that I'm happy with how "small" they are.

But I still just want the Tantive IV. Might save up for two. Those things are wicked!

How are they getting the range ruler to stay together? Does is fold out or something because it looked like separate pieces in the Tantive contents pic.

edit -Oh, nevermind I just noticed the little buttons that look similar to the ones on dials.

I sincerely hope it's a staged picture - that many models in such close proximity looks like a nightmare to manage and move...

It's probably staged because of what you said, but also because in some of the other pics the asteroids are way to close to the sides, and the huge ships base templates are backwards.

The Tantive has stats on both ends, it's not backwards.

Epic team battles will be king ^^
