Deathraven,

By Mykilus, in X-Wing

For an "ugly" that's actually not a bad-looking ship.

That is funky as hell. I want one.

i know, for god sake down come up with any stats because I am the one who will be facing it.... lol

That is a ship worth attempting! Only thing better than a B-wing is two!

My thoughts are that it would be unique and would go on a large base...

Slightly unrelated, but Lego is releasing a new B-wing next month... Lego Deathraven WUUUTTTTT!!! Now I may have to buy two. ><

6 Attack

2 Evade

10 Shield

6 Hull

I see what you did there.

Maybe put two small bases together. Side by Side.

Realistic stats:

4 Attack

1 Evade

4 Hull

5 Shields

Dial could be the B-wings without the 2 k-turn. Maybe a 3 k-turn as its a bigger ship.

Fun and reasonable.

I think FFG should do "wide" and "long" bases to differentiate ships so the double version just makes sense here.

*grabby hands*

4 red dice feels right. 2 evade. Either 4 and 4 or 5 and 5 hull and shields.

Canon slot. 2 or 3 ordnance? Crew, systems and a title.

Base unnamed pilot should clock in around 28, highest PS maybe 36? It's gonna be good and expensive to run

I thought about doing one with my broken B-wing, I just couldn't justify buying a second one to destroy. So I tried to make the wings fold in. Sadly I never could figure out how to cut them to reposition and still look good.

i agree with the 4 attack, considering all of the upgrades, it should be unique as the fluff says only one built, and its big, too big to be a starfighter, should use a large base and maybe the falcons dial.

Make it a "wide base" ship.

As far as the dial goes:

1 K-turn and 3 K-turn (I can just see this thing flipping front-to-back really quickly).

No turns, only banks (except maybe a red 2 Turn)

All straights, green up to 4, white 5.

Hmmm... when Rebel Aces comes out, I'll end up with way more B-wings than I'll ever use...

I may have to sacrifice a couple to the X-acto gods!

Hi there, I am the one that Mykilus was talking about and after hearing what you guys have said I mocked up the stats sard and manouver dial for the Deathraven.

You can take a look at them here - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hy9xamtam2wsq2k/AABfhggr87JDCiedRSMtf2dfa

Reminds me of the Vaktoth from Wing Commander.

I was never a fan of the untouched B Wing but liked some of the component elements. I made a couple of things like that in 3d but never released them One with a cockpit an two engines and another with two cockpits. The second stripped out and converted into a bomb bay

A ship like that would be worthy of the death blossom.

It kind reminds me of those old twin Mustang fighters.

I would imagine it has some issues turning, just because it's not one, but two B-wings, and they already don't turn well. Having two stuck together likely increases that problem.
Really though, I could see a 4/2/5/5 for this thing. Love the design. I don't like many uglies, if any, but this?
Well, that may be the first design I actually like.

I'm thinking 2 red dice and 2 cannon slots, with a title (2 or 3 points) that let's you fire all secondary weapons at once. Yes, that would be 8 dice if you load up an HLC, but you're paying an extra ~16 points for it.

Possibly you'd double the defender's agility against such attacks. Would need play testing. :)

An alternate load out might be an HLC + Ion cannon. Because nothing says love like 5 damage + ionization.

Maybe all its green maneuvers are K-turns, and the turns are red?

The Defender dial would be a great fit.
