By Deltmi, in X-Wing

So it's RecSpec after all.

About time. Let's play!

Is that a cast member from Black Sails?

I dunno...to me, it looks like he's got some gumballs or chewing tobacco in his mouth. I like the detail on this one better, but overall I think the card art they chose is best.

A smaller x-wing dice bag to go with the tie fighter dice bag that was smaller than the previous x-wing dice bag. Interesting choice.

Pretty soon it'll just be a die bag...

I approve of the imperial alternate art for crew cards. I hope they do gunner next.

So bad ... so, so bad

Yeah, that Dash is ugly. The Recon Specialist is awesome though!

how do we get these kits again? there is a link to the ffg store but there is no kit there.

His face is goofy as hell. It's like a Saturday morning cartoon version of Dash.

You have to be a retailer. If you want the promos contact your flgs and ask if they get them and when their x-wing tournaments are.

That's the normal way i know, but the link in the post is curious.

Wow, that alt art a Dash Rendar is comically bad. With all of the art resources FFG has I can't believe they felt this was acceptable

I agree the new rec spec is pretty sweet.

Kinda seems like they are out of movie art and the rest are just not as cool. Soontir and Tycho looked ok I suppose, but the Sucm Fett, new Luke and now Dash seem to be a little too cartoony for me. And I'm kind of inclined to think that's a good thing. The upgrade cards should be more desirable as they are more plentiful. Making the rarest cards the best looking/of the most popular pilots only serves to make scarcity an issue and inflate the secondary market. Maybe in the early days they got people to the tourny, but X-Wing is so popular now, they lose nothing from making the participation card the more desirable of the two. That also gets more cards that people want into their hands. Good PR if it's the case.

It is odd that they provide a link to the online store. I personally would love to get one of those and run a private tornament. There is no games store in my city but there are enough players to use the kit.

Is it me, or does dash look like something out of the movie shrek

No, that sounds about right.

Odd choice of art, considering the other art of Dash that they have.

Either one looks good to me, why couldn't they have been used for X-Wing? I have no clue.

I don't know. The more I look at it the more I like it. It's clear from the novel that Dash thought highly of himself, but that was the only person. If he really were as handsome as some of those other pictures he might have actually been liked. Maybe. I will concede that it's a bit more cartoony than I am used to in this game. I still think it's way better than the original Gold Squadron Pilots [shudder].

Happy that medals are back.
