Someone has a Raider

By Babaganoosh, in X-Wing

*Update: BOLS posted a more detailed video about the Raider earlier. The Raider is probably fully spoiled now from that video

This is an unboxing video from Bell of Lost Souls, which is a good site for miniatures game news for several game systems.

Before you get too excited, the unboxing is a bit abbreviated due to a low battery, so there I don't think there was any new info revealed. But there should be another video up shortly with more detailed info.

Bottom line - expect full Raider spoilage imminently.

we've already got everything relevant to X-wing spoiled already

ergo, everything's already been spoiled :P

Haha, yeah i think everything pertinent to non-epic is out there. But I am pretty curious to see all the Raider details. I expect to see an uptick in epic games once this thing is out there.

The dial is revealed at 4:30 in the video.

1-4 straight, 1 & 2 banks.

3 energy for all the 1s and the 2 straight. 2 energy for the 2 banks and the 3-4 straights.

Aren't there some titles that have we haven't seen?

Also I'd like to know what some of those tokens do.

I hope they chop it open so I can see where to stick the little light board, fibre-optics, and LED's.

I wants it.

I want to hug it and squeeze it and call it Indefatigable.

Gah the anticipation!

I want to know titles

Can't watch right now

He only goes through the upgrade cards we already know about. You just see a quick glance of the titles, nothing to make out.

Wait, these guys are in Texas... how did they get their hands on this ship? I guess this means the Raiders will be for sale at Gencon.

God **** it just take my money already!

It comes with a branching campaign, with a sheet to track casualties...that could be interesting.

Ok so the campaign doesn't require a lot of specific models (huzzah!)

You only need a Tie Advanced and Lambda, the rest is all optional what you like.

And it seems beside the campaign there is 1 extra mission (13) which is a duke-it-out CR90 vs Raider mission.

Very nice!

Would love to see more details about the missions :)

Look for it right after Gencon. Figure second week of August.

Aren't the Gencon pre-sales of this and Wave 7 the worst-kept secret in FFG at this point?

Very good. Carry on, Mister Hornblower.

It'll do until there's an actual Frigate. :P.

The Brits have the best ship names.

I updated my blog post that collects spoilers for wave 7 and the raider with the dial infomation, I'm looking into checking the exact base length. Here's a still if you guys want to double check my measurements. I'm using 80 mm = side of a big base as a comparison.

Me Too's!

:lol:

Just to clear up some confusion:

If you get your hands on some spoilerrific merchandise nobody cares about the engines. Show us ze cards!

I can't figure out why he didn't show the titles :(

Speak for yourself, I longingly gaze upon that beauty. Those sleek lines, the sense of doom approaching.

It could be a nice PR thingy. Send out a review copy, tell the reviewer not to show anything new about the cards, and presto: More hype for the imminent Raider.

Not that I blame them, better than another preview article. This is actual hands on stuff.

1-4 straight, 1 & 2 banks.

3 energy for all the 1s and the 2 straight. 2 energy for the 2 banks and the 3-4 straights.

So, the same as the CR-90, except:

  • Gains the 1-straight with 3 energy
  • 4 straight has 2 energy instead of 1
