I think Waaagh is a decent guy but I'll be sponging the tears up too.

Is anyone gonna ask the obvious question here?

How the **** do you pronounce "scyk"

"skik".

This isn't rocket science.

With the varied answers I received, maybe tone down the condescension.

I think Lackwitt is talking about the Kihrax Assault Fighter (it's a Black sun ship). It is on Roark Garnet's card.

Yeah that. I can never f**king spell it right. I'm not even sure THAT's right.

Ah, it's Kihraxz. You were mostly correct.

YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT

I'm just glad I don't have 8 Z95s already...

But the only thing better than 8 Z-95s, is 16 Z-95s!

....

Come on Joe Boss, back me up here!!!

I'd back you up MJ but apparently I've reached my daily quota for positive votes :(

To me this news essentially polaises the two games (wing/armada).

Cleverly FFG release a fleet action game while at the same time boosting the 'small dogfighter' appeal to a larger audience of xwing.

I bought a transport and corvette, i barely use them, most players i know... its simply out of their price range in the UK.

A CR90 is about £74 gbp in most stores, you can get seven fighters from one store for that!

I bought mine mainly because i'd ran out of cool stuff, had some spare cash and i get a discount at my local store so it was more like £60

yea Kihraxz.... k got it there's a z in there

means i can buy z95s for what i want them to be... pirates and not 'crap rebels/swarm rebels/place fillers'

*Looks at collection, sees 12 z-95s. Looks at new faction... Sees z-95s... Eyes begin to tear up*

Agreed. Considering it is a made up word from a comic book (or whatever? Don't follow EU much) means you can't exactly cite real-world words/rules as examples.

That said, I still think 3rd faction is a mistake, but congrats on all you guys for getting what you want!!

I go with "Sick" over "Skik" cause

Sc=Morph the S and the C together.

Just seems to sound better to me.

TOLD JAH MF! :lol:

You were the first person I thought of when I heard the announcement. Enjoy!

I love you too man, like an X-Wing Brother!

They did it real smart too... not Black Sun, okay fine, but hey... it is still freaking awesome!

We finally can go crazy with the converting and painting of our wonderful Firesprays too with rules justification to make these conversions legit, and... we just got IG-88!!!

Love, love, love!!!

Dash Rendar vs. Star Vipers, straight out of Shadows.

Can't wait. It's going to be awesome-as-sauce.

i was a naysayyer but I actually really liked the concept of a third faction i naysayyed purely because i really didnt think FFG would go that route yet if at all. but hey excited for my new money pit faction

Well now I'm just imagining the Scyks barfing everywhere.

This by the way, is the Scyk. The animal.

Well looks like I have a hat to eat.

The conversion packs are a smart move...clears up one of my primary concerns. actually. Looks like the current factions may not stagnate after all. Not sure if I will get any (as piracy hold 0 appeal to me) but I have no doubt Ffg will keep things balanced.

Bunch of crap the imps still have no large.ship though

I am actually playing SWG again. I remember how much i hated scyks when i was a newbye lol.

I was thinking like "That game is so sick-nasty." instead of "Man, I'm going to barf, I'm so sick."

Haha.

3rd faction is awesome news. less mirror matches, more options, lots of new meta... people will stop asking if i want to play rebels or imperial. yay!

All of these new announcements keep pushing me further and further towards Armada being my main game. I wanna fly me some big ships!

I'm surprised about the new faction -- didn't think it would happen -- but I'm glad it did. Totally stoked.

So sorry to interrupt the party...

but how do they get off doing a scum & villainy faction without the Skipray?

#superhappybutalsoalitledissapointed

*begins chanting* Uglies! Uglies! UGLIES! UGLIES!!!

Side note, I'm so happy about all of the announcements today and very lucky that I have not bought more than one Z-95. Though that one Z has been serving me very well.

Oh my.

Keep in mind my dear Wingers... they did make a third faction ... anything can happen now.

anything can happen now.

Prequels...
