More unique squadron cards coming for existing minis?

By z22, in Star Wars: Armada

I'm currently painting 1 squadron in each type (TIE bomber, X-wing, etc.) in a different paining scheme, for every unique squadron card. So, I have 10 B-Wing squadrons and have painted one of them in a different way to identify the only unique B-Wing, Keyan Farlander. I painted 2 of my TIE squadrons in a different way, one for Howlrunner and another for Mauler Mithel.

Do you think FFG will release more unique squadrons cards for existing types, in upcoming expansions? While I'm in a painting frenzy, I'm considering painting an extra squadron of every type with a different scheme now, but I think I should just wait to paint more uniques as/if they are released. I have't collected the X-Wing mini game so I don't know what they did with that. Thanks!!

Possibly, but not until Wave 3 at the earliest, and I would expect it to be later than that. I would also expect them to include one instance of the squadron in whatever package it gets put in (bundled with a ship? Some sort of aces squadron box?), so you should be fine to paint everything

Gotta keep those old squadrons fresh somehow!

Maybe. Remember that squadrons aren't Armada's focus, and there likely won't be the same variety of 'elites' that there are in X-Wing. I doubt that FFG will do an 'Aces' pack, although they may do additional 'elites' of existing types in future squadron packs if they need to fill them out.

I think we are far more likely to get new fighter types first.

I personally believe 'elite' (different paint scheme) Ships with different cards are much more likely to come out before ace squadrons.

I hope so, I also hope they throw in new misions too.

Thanks folks, I'll paint the uniques as we have them now, ... and jot down my scheme so I can reproduce it later. :>

TEN(!?) b-wings?!?!?!?

Am I the only one to notice that?

Any chance of some pictures? Of the paint job not a galaxy worth of BW

A similar question to one I posed here

Sorry can't embed link properly using my 'phone!

Oh, it appears I can after all!

I really hope so, though I want FFG to focus on getting waves out before they go back and make extra cards for ships.

I'd like to see more ship titles

OP, why on earth have you purchased 5 fighter packs?!?!?!?

I would love to see some booster packs filled with stuff like titles for ships from past waves, new aces, old upgrades. They could even be blind. But then we'd have to wait a few waves before they had a sufficient card base, and the aces would need the little base dial.

Could also throw new aces in wtih ships, and just use extra cardboard space for the dial instead of more tokens I'll never use.
