If you are Gen Con POST PICTURES

Thanks MoffZen, it looks like a mid-range Neb-B. might be between 55-65 points hopefully with some wicked E-war upgrades.

I wonder if we will get Vindicator in the same wave. It's a very similair model so it would be easy to make it when you have the other one.

I bet the interdictor will have some very interesting titles.

Oh I just had an exciting thought. Maybe the Immobilizer comes with Grand Admiral Thrawn!

Fingers crossed for Thrawn!

I'll try to look for the upgrade icons and the points cost tomorrow. I don't seem to recognize some of the upgrade card types (and if they want to add abilities to ships, they would probably go through this way :) ).

I'd bet it's a Wave 3 ship over Wave 2, considering they've announced and posted the entire Wave 2. This card really looks like a prototype too with the illustration not really matching the visual style of the rest of the cards.

If it is just a prototype that is still great. It means they may have some cool stuff in the chute for us. Thank you sir for getting us this Info. I hope I didn't cost us rebels too many Bothans. We seem to be running short of them.

For that picture, no, but for more details tomorrow, who knows how many Bothans will die to get us that information.

As promised, pics of the Immobilizer card :)

I didn't take it myself because I could make it to the store, so I don't have more details about the upgrade cards or the cost, but from what we can see, this seems to be a utility ship with lots of blue dice to mirror the CR90B's role aiming for blue crits.

I'll see if the article has any more details in when I go tomorrow myself. :)

As well as in his thread: https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/175690-das-custom-cards/page-1

So if this image isn't legit, are there no spoilers regarding an Interdictor at all? Or has MoffZen been given a fake image, but the article is still real?

Or is there some explanation for why the card in the article looks almost exactly like the custom card?

Obviously, I really want to see the Interdictor be a real thing in this game, partly because it seems like our best bet to get Thrawn.

Just start killing Bothans...

... I'll tell you when to Stop...

Except one note... DAs has a black and a blue anti squadron die, but that photo has two blue.

Could he just have nailed it hard core with a guess?

The article is 100% real, but maybe it is giving out false information, I'll check it out tomorrow and report here ;)

Like Ashram said, the custom image showed 1 black 1 blue for anti squadron while the picture shows 2 blue. I'm not sure if this is a photoshop of the original picture or coincidentally super close, but I'll have my hands on the article tomorrow and will show the truth :)

Edit: At least it was doing that when I posted this. Posting via my phone is a real pain. I do remember there being a revision on the custom design though.

nice.

The expected disappointing answer is that this article is reporting on the custom and not real FFG info. The hopeful hilarious answer is that the custom card was either created with inside info, or simply a coincidence.

So it's what, 40 points?

Also, please no Thrawn because commanders are usually good on the ship they come with and I don't think anything good with this will be good with something else...

Just because a commander works well with a particular ship doesn't meant they can't work equally well with other ships. The core set commanders are a good example, as are some of those spoiled for wave 2. I would expect a Thrawn card to have a fairly universal strategic effect that has more to do with how your fleet plays than about synergizing with one particular ship.

In all fairness, it should be easy to guess what new ships will look like in terms of: hull, shields, guns, and speed values. Even upgrade slots are pretty simple to guess close. There very few permutations left to fit in certsin ship types. I would say not putting ion cannons but putting an offensive retrofit is a stretch though, and the upgrade bar is something we can't see on teh "official leaked card".

These are totally not the pics we're looking for...

Someone who was at the store took the picture for me. He isn't an Armada player, so he didn't think to take the upgrade card and point cost. I'm going there in a couple of hours, I'll take a better picture ;)

I honestly have been coming back like every few minutes in anticipation of this.

Same here, PewPewPew. I'm really interested in how the Interdictor and Vindicator are going to be portrayed in Armada. Vindicators are one of my favorite Star Destroyers personally (Victory being my absolute favorite).

Being that they are both based on the same hull, I'd expect them to both be medium ships, 6 hull, 3 speed with AFMKII notches, with fairly minimal shields (essentially the exact specs the "dubious" card reveals).

I would guess that the Vindicator will be the Imperial AFMKII analogue, but specialize in its frontal arc as opposed to side arcs. Perhaps seeing it with 3 front shields 2 sides and 1 aft, exactly 1 less shield per facing than AFMKIIs with less raw power and sluggishness: IE 2 command and 3 engineering (as revealed in said card). I wouldn't be surprised to see the side arc of the AFMKII on the Vindy's front, and AFMKIIs front on the Vindys sides. Perhaps a little more power in 3red 2blue front? this would give the imps a long-range warship that can pump out some damage, but isn't anywhere near as tough as a VicII, but for less points.

That said, I'd like to see some imperials ships with more balanced dice: so if vindicators were 2reds and a blue on front and sides with 2 reds on back, that might be very interesting. Perhaps the II-Class could be a closer range/balanced version iwth 1red 1blue 1black arcs with ions and missiles upgrades. Be intersting.

Can't wait to see how Wave 3 looks. Probably our last chance to see older ships in Armada as Wave4 almost assuredly (and beyond) will be Sequel movie oriented for the product tie-ins.

Hello guys !

So, as promised here's the full picture. Unfortunately, the article doesn't detail it but talks more about the game and the general principles. I really can't comment on its authenticity :

There are a few differences with the posted fan picture : namely the blue anti-squadrons andd the 45 points value instead of 50. It might be another photoshop however.
