DECIMATOR IS A BEAST!!!!

By Ribann, in X-Wing

First game with the Decimator. OMG! This thing is sick!!!

My list was:

Kenkirk+Predator+Isard+Jerjerrod+Counter-Measures
Academy Pilot
Academy Pilot
Howlrunner+Det


99pts

Went up against:

Delta Squadron
Delta Squadron
Whisper+VI+FCS+ACD

99pts


Basic strategy was to flank with Kenkirk and block and deny actions with Academy pilots.

Ended up forcing Whisper onto a rock and one-shotted Whisper with my Academy pilot....NO MODIFIERS!

Must say, the Decimator is a FANTASTIC addition to the game. Well done, FFG!

I'm glad it served you well, I want mine now!

Just saying but he doesn't have one either going off of the picture...

A tear slowly ran down my cheek watching that happen to Whisper... Good game. :)

Niice....

The model looks way better than I thought it did--I've been a little lukewarm about the ship up until this thread.

Showoff :P

just curious, how well does that sit level.. is there much play and wobble. I magnatized a falcon and ened up using a flat magnet after a while cause the bearing allowed too much play in it..

Don't mind me, I'll be over here drooling...

A beast it may be, but a thousand tiny cuts kill it. Or a Proton Rocket. Beware the swArm!

Hmm, now I want to mount one standing upright and call it the TIE Obelisk.

Thanks guys. I had to find the center of balance on the monster. The center of balance sits back a little from where FFG mounted the peg. You'll notice my pegs and magnets are painted. I also put a clear hard lacquer coat on the pegs as well. This gives the ship a little more bite than metal on magnet. It stops the loose play and allows the model to sit where you position it.

I really can't wait to get mine, this thing looks great

I think this thread classifies as model porn, you watch it you guys, think of the children.

I'm just thrilled we can have a Decimator appreciation thread without WonderWAAAGH jumping in and derailing the thread just because I started it.

You know he's like Beetlejuice, if you say his name 3 times he will show up.

I faced one tonight, but was running Rexlar and a mini-swarm.

Rexlar LOVES the Decimator.

I'll get mine soon, just gotta meet up with my buddy that got it at GENCON.. just might have to magnetize it,

Nerd porn... I'll be in my bunk!

I like it overall, but I think when I get mine I'm going do something about that dome on top. Kinda kills it for me. Also, it's getting TIE winglets so it goes with the rest of my Imps.
