SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE
Oh, the ships are in the case at the booth now!
Just models, or cardboard too?
Case models are usually not cardboarded.
Edited by TIE PilotI will post any news *here*
I love those, although you should have mentioned the Empire will be responding by quadrupling its own emergency aid.
Some people just foolishly want ships with actual lore rather than tech tree filler designed by kindergarteners for a mediocre video game.The Scimitar's lore is Thrawn doing some Mary Sueing. The Interdictor FFG fleshed out as actually filling a missing role in the Imperial military doctrine: a long range bomber.
I guess all these comics, novels and sourcebooks must be talking about some other Scimitar...
Even if long range bombers were an emphasis in Imperial doctrine, they already had that role filled by the Assault Gunboat, Missile Boat and, oh ya, hyperdrive upgraded Scimitars.

No cardboard, sadly.
FYI, the Hound's Tooth is also Scum, if that wasn't already apparent/mentioned. That makes two more Scum ships to catch up the the GCW fighters, one of which is (obviously) large based.
Edited by WonderWAAAGHThat brings everyone into alignment I think.
Galactic Empire
TIE fighter
TIE advanced
TIE interceptor
TIE bomber
TIE defender
TIE phantom
TIE punisher
Firespray-31
Lambda-class Shuttle
VT-49 Decimator
10 ships, 3 large, 7 small.
Rebel Alliance
X-wing
Y-wing
A-wing
B-wing
E-wing
K-wing
Z-95 Headhunter
HWK-290
YT-1300
YT-2400
10 ships, 8 small, 2 large, but one of those is the HWK which is pretty much a large ship in all but base. Even has a 1 generic 3 unique pilot setup.
Scum
Z-95 Headhunter
Y-wing
M-3A Scyk
Kihraxz Assault Fighter
HWK-290
StarViper Attack Platform
Firespray-31
Aggressor
Hound's Tooth
9 ships, 3 large, 6 small. If you buy into the M-3A being two ships, the normal one and the Heavy Scyk, then same as the other two factions.
Can anybody repost some pics here on this board, please? The twitter feed is kind of a pain to sort through every time I want to look and the only pics here I saw linked were to a couple of Facebook pages that weren't displaying.

Good idea!

Still Thrawn Mary Sueing.
The Scimitar is one of those unlucky ships that was written before it was drawn, and then done no justice at all when it was drawn. It throughly deserves the prestigious title of TIE exogorth pleasurer.
So anyone else want to have a TIE interdictor lead a flight of TIE bombers?

All depends on what the bloody thing does
Blows stuff up.
Why Punisher and not Interdictor? Perhaps FFG did not want to use the same name for an X-Wing ship (that is not a commonly known one) that they already have tied to an Armada wave expansion (Interdictor Cruiser).
New Action on the K-Wing? Perhaps the SubLight Acceleration Motor (SLAM). A boost, except is uses a 2 strait/bank template. To make up for it the dial can be toned down to less that a Y-Wing (but more than a HWK). Or a special Bomb based action...something like what the 'Genius' Mech does for Scum. Potential for an upgrade card from either of these items.
Ordnance fix? An upgrade card in the Punisher that allows a second Missile/Torp/Bomb for free (which could make A-Wings with Prockets pure murder). Essentially cutting the cost of Ordnance in half.
Still no S&V turret ship ala YT1300/2400 or Decimator. Perhaps a future expansion with Scum YT1300s (which can open up a pre-rebellion Scum Han Solo (back when he was a smuggler, pirate, and killer of poor Greedo)?

Bump this. I'd appreciate pics too.
any news on the Raider?

Edited by ArmandhammerNo Raider news, though the reference card for the Raider does say "Not Final Product - Pending Licensor Approval." Pics later guys, I'm not going to upload from my nearly dead phone right now. Besides, others have already given you the gist of it.
Incidentally, the gentleman working the booth was nice enough to temporarily rearrange some of the models for me, so I've got a side-by-side of the Bomber and Punisher, and both TIE Advanceds.
Edited by WonderWAAAGHThanks!
They look awesome! Looking forward to the hounds tooth.
Why Punisher and not Interdictor?
Probably Lucasfilm pointed it it's got no gravity well generators on it.

Let it never be said the orc is not a gentleman.
Edited by TIE PilotI'm still here at the booth, if anyone wants to chat me up. I promise I won't bite.
No hints on how they plan to improve ordinance?
Nope. I've posted all I know, and I was fairly attentive.

New "overcosted ship everyone buys because of upgrade cards" like the Starviper.
Guy from our local X-Wing group was actually in the 2nd row, and got some much better pictures.
Stats are:
TIE: Bowelmovement
Attack: 2
Agility: 1
Hull: 6
Shields: 3
(Target lock, focus, boost)
Kihraxz
Attack: 3
Agility: 2
Hull: 4
Shields: 1
(Target lock, focus)
Krap-Wing
Attack: 2
Agility: 1
Hull: 5
Shields: 4
(Target lock, focus, and a new action)
Hounds Tooth:
Attack: 3
Agility: 1
Hull: 6
Shields: 6
(Target lock, focus)
hounds tooth stats similar to the shuttle. hope its dial is better. the new mober looks interesting. good shielding but low agility but gets boost. in theory a ship with boost should have a good dial with lots of green... maybe its just fast in when going straight or gets some added benefit when it boosts?
Any news for the rpg?
