New Tantive IV preview article is up — last before it officially releases

By Danthrax, in X-Wing

It's here: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=4821

Looks like those leaks were true, because here's Raymus Antilles:

And Gunnery Team, Sensor Team and Engineering Team:

No official spoilers for Han or Leia, though, unfortunately.

I need to prepare my wallet for this one.

I looked for this when i got off work this morning but it wasn't up yet.

Raymus looks awesome, on either the Tantive or a Transport! He looks super useful if you have a feeling you know what the enemy movement might be like~

Also, kinda cool that all the crew cards are headed by women. Kinda neat for equal opportunity~ :D

what is "Limited" about?

what is "Limited" about?

Only one copy per ship. That was explained in one of the preview articles.

Sensor Team is going to be lovely with a Weapon Engineer.

EDIT: And that will be fun with Han Solo's crew card.

There must be one at least one more team. The Tantive IV title adds a fourth crew slot, but the three listed are all either Limited or don't benefit from multiples.

Not to piss anyone off, but 100% female =/= "equal" ... it's a bias... Just sayin'...

I think this new article just furthers the likelihood that those Han and Leia cards we've seen are fakes. Well done fakes (outside of the glaring misspelling issue and non-FFG format of a power that changes a rule), but fakes non-the-less.

How so? The preview was already using Solo in the Falcon, so Highlander rules would have prevented his usage as Crew.

Why do you say that? If the same person accurately spoiled the crew cards that were just now released to the public, then chances are that he has inside info. Which would mean the Han/Leia cards are MORE likely to be real.

Time will tell, but I just don't believe that FFG would allow the mistakes that are present on those cards to be published as is. I hope I'm right too, as both of those cards are disappointing at best.

to be fair, Sensor team MAY have a male alien in it... And Gunnery team appears to have two :P "Team" usually means more than one person involved. But hey, Who doesn't want an all-female crewed blockade runner? :lol:

Would explain the accuracy penalties wouldn't it? *ducks*

lslk.jpg"Manuever" is misspelled.

What's funny is it's spelled correctly once, and wrong twice...

So they say it can possibly take up to four attack per round, but 3 of those cost at least one energy. How often are you going to be able to do that. I don't know. I am liking the Tantive more than the Transport simply because I would rather kill my enemies than screw with them. Sure the Tantive is going to cost three times as much the transport.

But I am super psyched. I have been saving b-day money since January to buy this thing.

Han is going to be deadly on a Corvette with Weapon Specialist and Sensor Team.

Han, Weapon Engineer, and Sensor Team is gunna pose a real long range threat.

The pictures never match the article huh? I wonder if the guys are is purposely blocking the transport to give the corvette the whole spotlight.

On a side note, can you just run one half the corvette?

I bet the nail salon takes up a full quarter of the Aloha deck...*ducks* :D

And I only count six Tie fighters against a 300 point list...how the Rebel ships are oriented those Ties won't last a round.
