So much good news for this new Faction!

Love the HWK pilots.

Love the Firespray pilot reboots!

I can't wait for this faction to be released!

Seems like imperial-hired Boba Fett is flying the Andrasta in future ....

Eh, i'm unconvinced if his effectiveness. But the bombs could be an effective countermeasure of trying to fly behind him...

In case nobody mentioned it Proximity mines are deployed after the move so they could work well, but worth 6-9 points? (since the title is only worth it if you buy at least one extra bomb)

Torkil is a great counter to both Han Shoot First builds (and their Fat Han cousins) and TIE Phantom builds (greatly diminishing the use of Advanced Cloaking Device).

I was eating this all up, and then Torkhil just blew my mind! Great stuff, all of it! Cool pilots, and the Azzameen title for the Firespray-31 -- I was very resistant to buying these guys, but my resolve has been summarily broken by this announcement.

Also, Palob Godahli = Pablo Hidalgo, right? I don't think I'm going to be able to call him anything but Pablo.

Fat Bottom Kath is lonely

Kath+seismic+lone wolf+ k4+ EU

She's faster than she looks and she's got it where she counts. This many points means she's part of a 3 ship build and that maximizes lone wolf. She gets to do whatever she wants with her action: boost, evade, focus, TL if she didn't green. On the approach she's fast and when you get close she can still modify dice offensively and defensively if you fly right... And when you choose a green you always get to modify offense at least. She shines when she flys by and gets all the boys to chase her. A firespray with 4 dice main + TL+ focus or evade?! And she might drop a bomb on ya? Fun stuff. I havnt seen the sniper role in S&V yet but there should be room for 2.

This just hurt my wallet, initially I was planning on only buying:

1- Most Wanted

4- IG-2000

3- M3-A Interceptor

2- StarViper

Now I am going to buy:

2- Most Wanted

4- IG-2000

3- M3-A Interceptor

2- StarViper

2- Slave-I

1- HWK-290

---

Currently only have one Slave-I and two HWK-290s and would like to have the additional ships & dials for Scum vs Rebel epic lists.

You can't fit more than two Scum Firesprays in a 100pt list, so you're safe Also, if you buy 2 Most Wanted you will be able to equip only two HWKs, so why buy the 3rd? I am at 2 Firesprays and 2 HWKs and I won't buy more.

It truly breaks my heart how people want to truly believe in the Defender... to the point of self-delusion and witnessing 'miracles'...

But inevitably, even the most fanatic whorshippers will question their faith when they realize what the new ships and upgrades are capable to do... for the same price as the Defender... or less...

You're just jealous that it's got an extra wing over your avatar. It's as a clear cut a case of Imperial pe*cough*pilot envy as I've ever seen.

Meh. The Defender is good. Not meta bending, but once you get the hang of its peculiarities, they can perform nicely. It isn't for everyone though.

Well, clearly it's not for everyone. You can't just put on a black flight suit and hop in the cockpit, you need to be qualified to fly it. You need to be one of the chosen, elite few. If everyone could fly it, there wouldn't be any grunts left to fly in the regulars, would there?

Now TIE Fighters, they're for everyone. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course, solid, dependable chaps, TIE Fighter pilots. Backbone of the Empire.

Here is one my gripes with S&V.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

To play two S&V Firesprays in tournaments you need two buy two Most Wanted?

4 x Most Wanted:

8 PS1 Z95 with 2 Dead Man’s Switchs

Yeah, but we've known that since day one of the announcement.

That is something I've never been afraid of admitting. I love the chassis with passion. The internals on the other hand...

why is this not showing up on the main X-wing page? The last news update i still get is assembling your squadron???

Mandalorian Mercenary with predator 38 points

Mandalorian Mercenary with predator 38 points

Torkil Mux with Ion Turret 24 points

Take an opponent down to 0 PS, fire twice both with predator to get two re-rolls, Ion so you know where they'll be next turn, repeat.

Well the title is 0 pts so you don't really need to make it worth it.

Unless you're playing two Firespray pilots that aren't on the same ship tile... I definitely plan on modding all my cross-faction dials to some kind of gradient between whichever the two factions they are so I can use them for both.

I'm looking forward to taking Andrasta with three seismic charges...And dropping all three at once.

FAQ says you can only drop one per turn.

If you did a seismic and a proximity tho, that would work yes?

I don't think so, but I'm not certain either.

So I am new to the game so i don't know anything about meta and whatnot but don't these ships seem kind of overpowered compared to Rebel and Imperial ships? All these abilities seem so powerful and they have everything the original ships had except they get a free item in the Illicit upgrade. Isn't that unbalanced?

Dirty, dirty, filthy tricks. I love it.

Mainly due to my buying all the ships for my game group and partly because I just got back into painting miniatures after a long absence. Repainting two of those firesprays and those Hawks is going to be a blast.

I don't know who these people are that say the Defender isn't good. After playing a Jonus' Brothers list, the only thing I can say is that what makes them beautiful is that they don't know they're beautiful.

Yeah that's disappointing to me as well. I have a dual firespray list I love and is pretty effective, and I think will be even more effective with the scum pilot abilities. Unfortunately I'm not sure I'm willing to buy 2 sets of Most Wanted, at least not initially. It might have to be a squad I stick to playing on vassal or casual play.

Man, having to buy two boxes of Most Wanted must be terrible. Expanding your collection to include Scum Z-95s and Y-Wings with cool alternate paint jobs is something I would never consider doing, not to mention the awesome cards included in the set.

But, to be fair, I only have Imperial Ships and have no interest in playing Rebels. I'll probably buy into Scum & Villainy. However, I can totally understand not want the Z-95s and Y Wings if you're a Rebel player who already has a ton of them.
