Load blown.

Here is my wallet FFG.

prices are on there, not so bad and not so far off! summer of 2015

$49.95 retail for the ISD is quite a bit cheaper than I thought it would be. I was thinking at least $60.

Unidentified ship (in the middle, 4th from left?) is probably the http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Havoc_(starfighter from Jedi Starfighter

Kind of surprised a PT ship is in there...

Its got to be the Havoc. Its the right shape.

same here, 40 for med. 60 for large. glad to see they brought it down!

Interesting how both Mon Cal designs have 4 defensive tokens instead of the 3 carried by everyone else.

Whoaaaaa ISD has 5 though. Holy Cow.

It's possible that the diffrent varients have diffrent numbers of tokens

I think that there Will only be up to 4 but maybe the isd 1 uses 2 redirects and the isd 2 only has 1 (for example)

Yeah it took me a second, and then i was like, wait. I know that from somewhere...

Far left card in the Rogues and Villians is definitely Nym.

He kind of sticks out.

Want to point out there are over 70 of us reading this topic...

Nice eyes! I i didnt spot that at all. Only thing i looked for on the cards was to try and make out defensive tokens on the bottom. Wanted to know if everyone gets the godmode Scatter token. Cant quite tell.

This has been such a great week for armada news! Now we just need to find the stats for all these awesome ships...

The mon calimari ship has a card with what appears to ackbar. Honestly that is no suprise.

And the ISD has what appears to be.... Wait for it.... "Vader's on that ship."

Looking closely at the cards, even though quality is bad.

ISD has Vader, most likely as a commander since he's in the slot that the other Rebel commanders are. This really does make me wish they'd gone with Maarek Stele for the Advanced squadron pilot.

Mon Cal has Ackbar, no surprise there. It is Home One.

Mon Cal Frigate has Carlist Rieekan as a commander. Makes sense, he's one of the few Rebel commanders we see on screen.

Can't make anything out on the Raider.

If Vader is the commander for the isd could you also take the Vader tie pilot in the same fleet?

No. X-wing has crew and pilots that are the same, but you can only use one at a time.

Umm no, no cloneing Vader allowed

So much win... can't contain the excitement! :D

This seems crazy for FFG. What's the rush!?

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to have these and more in my hands, but with this scheduled for Summer '15 we could end up seeing the core and 3 waves all before the end of the year. That's one hell of a production schedule.

I hope they include Captain Needa. He's the most likable ISD commander. It wasn't his fault that Han got away.

Hey I'm not complaning

Honestly though I think that wave 2 is coming fast because they want the moncal and the isd in the game as soon as possible, wave 3 should slow down a little bit

With the new Star Wars film set to be released this December it would be bad business for FFG to not push the Star Wars games just a little bit. Remember they are probably counting on the hype to drive sales. So far, so good. I am making plans to get that Mon Cal cruiser!

If FFG does not would accept their apology?

True enough. I'm planning to get ALL of them!

What's the rush!?

My guess is because the core and wave 1 got pushed back at least a month from their planned time table by delays and the port issues. So a July/August release sounds about right.

Also this. How many people said they wouldn't play Armada without ISDs? I'm glad this got announced before even the core dropped, will make people want to play more. Also glad that the large ships are on Wave 2. Some people were speculating that they wouldn't be.

Hope the new faction isn't OP like what happens with some other mini games. Also a bit disappointed in the Rader being the 2nd Imperial ship and not something bigger like the dreadnought or the Carrack LC. I suppose it's a counter to the CR90 and possibly a hint that the ISD will just wreck shop with rebel fleets.

Now to speculate on point values. I'll start the bidding @ 175 for the ISD.

There is no new faction, only the Large-based ships from X-Wing added to their respective sides.
