Wow... The American dollar really isn't worth much these days is it. I got four of them with international shipping for 322 crowns... That really is dirt cheap.

Time to build the Z95 swarm.

I got really excited for a moment.....

then didn't buy any.

because honestly, who gives a ****?

Oh I don't know, a friend of mine flys Z-95's and he does well with them, its really the equivalent to Tie Fighters for the rebels except Z-95's have the luxury of shields and the ability to carry missiles, while also having target lock which effectively acts like every ship has his personal howlrunner onboard. I'm not sure if its competition worthy, but if you can build a mini swarm at 50 points. He makes it even tougher for me by flying Wedge with them.

Just picked up four more Z-95 Headhunter Expansion Packs

Miniature Market has them listed as the daily deal for $7.25 USD

Thanks for the tip by the way... I really wanted a bunch of z-95's in my collection!

Not gonna lie.

I was just being a jerk.

I linked it to a few friends in case they might want some Z's.

A squad of 8-Z95s took 1st place in X-wings tourny. It won against the famed Howlrunner tie swarm.

Yeah that doesn't really surprise me, in particular if you match up the potential of both squads. Having 2 shields on each ships is like having a limited supply of 2 evade tokens on each ship. Having target lock on every ship is like every ship acting as a Howlrunner (kind of). In a straight up shooting match, statistically the odds would definitely be in the Z-95's favor. In particular if you consider that in the first couple of rounds critical s mean absolutely nothing to Z-95's who absorb it with shields while the Tie's have to take all critical s as criticals.

The main advantage for the Tie's is maneuverability and I think that could make a considerable difference. The ability to barrel roll and the better maneuverability of the dial after the initial clash should give the Tie Swarm a field advantage but I would venture to guess that Howlrunner got taken out early in the match which alleviates a big chunk of the advantage that the Tie Swarm has in terms of shooting, while the Z-95's retain it for the entire match.

I already have six. After I did the math to get three more with the cheap shipping I would of only saved six bucks, so I will pass this time. These are awesome little ships, and if you do not already have three to six of them, now is the time to grab them I should think.

:)

Thanks for the tip. Now, I will have enough ships for my new Falcon + Zs build. Cool!

Thanks for the heads up LordCole!

Yeah i figured, why the hell not. Get those now and pay 6 bucks less too....

Let me get the rest of wave 4 with rebel aces when the falcon restocks too

Seriously tempted to get 2 or 3 or them but am quite afraid of getting stung by customs... (UK based)

Thanks for the heads up! My wife's gonna kill me, but its a small price to pay to finally unleash the 8-ship Z-95 swarm!

Woo Hoo! That's the only ship from Wave 4 that I don't have yet. I just got a bunch of 'em!

I just bought 5!

****, already have three. I love them, but don't need more right now before I get the YTs.

2 evade vs 3 is a huge difference.

Hlc and missles eat these things up.

I've seen game where is lose one before it fires.

When I use ties they do not very one shooted as easily as a Z. Even though a tie has one less hp, that barrel roll, focus, evade is awesome.

Having a target lock is nothing like having howl's ability.

With Howlrunner with my ties I can re roll one dice and then focus.

With a Z you can target lock but no focus.

The damage output on them is low.

Yes they can equip missles but when focus fired they drop fast.

I don't see how these could win a tournament.

Hlc, Phantoms, Fel, Firespray eat these things up.

Anything that can maneuver, or equip a hlc shreds em
