2015 Store Championships starring Soontir Fel

By PhantomFO, in X-Wing

Top 32 means the cards will be widely available, whether you win one or not.

While I understand that a lot of people missed out on the previous acryclic focus tokens, I personally would rather see something new, like acryclic crit tokens...

I still want acrylic cloaks, but this is nice too. Plus, Soontir Fel! Heck yeah! Dice bags are nice too, I suppose. Do kinda need one.

Edit: Found the article for winter 2014...Why was that shown before this one?

I'd like that card too.

Still want that card! I was expecting Howlrunner using her new Armada art, but Soontir is still awesome.

I must have that card. that is amazing. time to start planning my victory :P

The next regular game night kit will have the acrylic Cloak tokens.

I really like the look of the Fel card. Would rather have the in-flight shots, but there's only so much you can do with the uniformity of TIE Pilot uniforms.

Honestly, I'm not a fan of the alt art cards... they are odd looking with all the stats squished... and a slight difference in size..

I saw something about making your own cards, and this Fel art would be cool for that where the card covers all this picture, with the stats imposed over the art.. I think that wouod be a better alt art card.

I'm glad they are beginning to expand beyond movie stills for the art. Hope that art they have for Howlrunner in Armada gets reused in this game.

The dice bags are a nice addition, imo.

does anyone know what is required for a store to host a championship? does it cost money?

Pretty much just the money. Store Championships are pretty prolific.

I like the movie stills because they're far more distinctive than just being other art. The new movie stills for generic ships (as opposed to just alternate art) are very nice. But there's only so many characters we can put movie images to, and they're mostly rebels, so...

I would also like that new Howlrunner someday, but this is nice. I also like that it's not another movie still. Some look good, some are kind of blah. Too bad my other favorite, Carnor, is so ridiculous in his comic incarnation.

The alternate art cards also tend to be distinctive since they show the character rather than the ship. I like them.

Ace pilot for rebels, Wedge 2 per kit

Ace pilot for imps, Fel 32 per kit

?

I'm glad if 30 players show up I will still come 32nd but does it seem a bit uneven

No, there is only one pilot card in the kits (33 Fel's). So, top 32 will get the card.

Omg guys! FFG favoritism! Imperials are so imbalanced and now they get 32 Soontir Fels and we only got 2 Wedges. I am quitting this game now and never playing anything again. THANKS FFG!! I can't believe how much they hate the Rebels. This is so unfair!

So much badass on that picture that i had to turn off my PC's homoerotism detector with a fire extinguisher.

But fair enough. What about:

2014 Store Championships: Ten Numb

2014 Regionals: Luke Skywalker

Imdaar Alpha: Bandit Squadron

2014 Nationals: Chewbacca

Yes, the Rebels have certainly been getting the short end of that exchange! I think it's indeed uneven, but probably not the way you think...

Really? You had to go all the way back to the first alt art card?

Just thought it was a bit strange both ps 9 1 a lot 1 not so much maybe there will won't be as many Vader cards if they come out

I just want to point out something that has been ignored as of yet: This is the first alt art card for this game to NOT be a movie still. That opens up a TON (as in, the rest of them) of other characters that could get alt art cards! There's still hope for alt art Rogue Squadron, Kyle/Jan, bounty hunters, defenders, etc.

Must have acrylic Focus Tokens! And that Fel card is just awesome! Must have them all!

The foci look a tad different than the ones in my box...kinda like they didn't paint them. Similar to how the #1-5 TL's look. It will be interesting to see if they are identical or not.

Fel is a fantastic choice for the pilot card, and the precedent to use non film art is an interesting point as well. Seems like they are trying to get more popular pilots into people's hands. I was wondering which goon squad would be included and it appears that they might not do that format anymore. Perhaps they are looking to make the remaining available generic pilots the prize in an upcoming kit, or maybe they just aren't making alt-art goons anymore. Either way I'm a bit disappointed that I'm not getting more of them in the kit (I'll live). Was hoping for movie still Reds...

Edit: Nevermind -- it's a Store Champ not a Game Night Kit so no goons. derp.

Sweet deal for Soontir, now I'm just hoping that my wager with Rainblaze about Vader for Worlds 2014 comes to fruition... :)
