Wave 2 announced

By jimbobiii, in Star Wars: Armada

Nah, 135 at the most for point cost, otherwise we couldn't field two of them :P

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!

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

If FFG does not would accept their apology?

I think you implied it...

But FFG will also want any new stuff from the new film out ASAP. Preferably, with the release of the movie,

Counting four cards over from Vader on the ISD picture.... is that a blue face on that card? I hope....

Also, some of us dont have twitter and cant see those pics and prices. Can someone do a run down of them? Thanks!

Those look fantastic... I also found the Mon Cal looking a little slim - but with relative scale it should still be shorter and much much less stout than the Imperial-class. No actual complaints - it's going to look awesome on the table.


This is the first time I've been looking forward to pre-order something in a long time... This looks to be a great wave, although I'll echo the concerns that it feels like it's coming a little quickly. Psyched to see the Mon Cal designs join the Rebel fleet, and it's even better to see that the Imperial-class will be striking terror into admirals in the next wave rather than later.


The prices are also lower than I anticipated. This is all very exciting news.

If Thrawn isn't a commander in Armada, then it would be a failure. Even if Thrawn probably doesn't exist in the new canon.

Is that 5 defense tokens for the ISD? Other people see that too, right?

And once again the Imp's 'Large' star fighters contain 0 Imperials.

Bounty Hunters for the empire...... Not Decimators. Not Lambdas. Not Missile Boats.

That is really the only thing disappointing.

Nor E-Wings or Z-95s for the Rebels, either. Gotta save some stuff for Wave 3.

Well it's still just wave 2 so there is plenty of time for more ships in the next few years.

Right - this I genuinely do not understand. The Imperial "large" fighters are the "dud" of the wave, if you asked me to choose one.

Superb! Leaves me needing to plan my fleet purchases carefully though...

OMG! OMG! OMG!

Im getting those Mon Cal ships!

I'm getting at least one of everything. Probably 2 or 3 raiders and a couple frigates.

Wow. I did not expect that news so quick. The ISD looks awesome and the prices for all are great. I was hoping that the models for the individual ships (Slave 1, Falcon, etc) would be larger, more detailed, and painted. I'm surprised they are packing them all in one product for $20. That probably means they will be small, low detail, but they do look painted in the pics.

But where does the game go after Wave 2? Yes, we're already talking about Wave 2+.

Heart attack!!!

Well neither E nor Z are 'Large' ships, I am sure they'll come out as new Squadrons in Wave 3, alongside TIE Defenders and Phantoms.

But I just hate that apparently Imperials can't use their own ships as 'Large' fighters, we have to rely on Scum. Same thing happened with X-Wing when the Falcon came out alongside the Firespray.

Although I must say the prices are awesome. I was expecting 60$ for Large based ships, that is saving me 20$ off my initial purchase (1 of all) right off the bat!

It's because there from the movie

Also it doesn't look like they are faction specific

Here come 600pt games and a release at GenCon!

Bring it on!! I'd love to see 600 point tournaments!

I clicked on this thread expecting a troll. Instead I found a saint. Bless you my dear boy.

Seriously? There are defnitely more capital ships then starfighters to choose from. You could hit wave 10 easily.

I think they are. You aren't going to be flying the Millennium Falcon as an Imperial.
