They will start producing pilot miniatures. One of the first ones will be a slightly obese sculpt of Solo.

Uglies!

• SCUM: M-12L Kimogila Heavy Fighter and YT-2000

Oh, I forgot, also official rules for objective-based official game, like Armada or Infinity.

This would make the game not only a "Kill everything" game, but also use different combos to achieve some objectives, even if you don´t destroy the enemy fleet

Punishing One. Scum may already have 3 large ships (incl. YV-666), but ey, Bounty Hunters are cool. Would add one (or more) new droids for the Scum, giving the Y-Wings some new options. And of course, it has been previewed for Armada already.

In that sense, Scurrg-H6/Havoc also is a good possibility. Second ship with a 4-attack primary perhaps?

The Dunelizard (perhaps with Kimogila title) would be cool. I seriously doubt that they will not include the JumpMaster 5000 (Punishing One) and Skurgg, since they exist in Armada, I believe.

Honestly, it may be too early to leak any Ep. 7 stuff, so that may get shifted to a Christmas reveal for Q1-2 2016.

Literally anything but another fat turret.

Im gonna laugh when the punishing one is announce for Scum with a 4 attack PWT and 3 agility.

They are going to add one of the BH ships, at the very least.

Since Punishing One and Havok are in Armada, they seems likely to be the next 2 scum ships. There will be a riot of the imperial ship isn't the Assault Gunboat. I have no idea what will happen with rebels, the most obvious choices are fat turrets, which may cause an even bigger riot.

Scum may already have 3 large ships (incl. YV-666), but ey,

I actually really like the idea that part of scum's faction identity is that they have mostly large ships. I don't know if it will wash out that way, but I think it would be cool.

What is BH?

No doubt for some horrible EU rubbish.

Sorry, I'll cheer up now.

Same here. There are enough options for a cartel fleet (Y-Wings, M3As, Kihraxz as main group, perhaps bolstered by a HWK or StarViper), while the other main playstyle is having two Bounty Hunters who have temporarily joined forces. IG88, Bossk (and other YV pilots), Boba (and other Firesprays), Dengar (and whoever else can fly the Jumpmaster).. all characteristic ships (and pilots) who can nicely fill 100pts with a bunch of cool upgrades. Punishing One also has quite a nice, unique look, just like the IG-2000, Firespray and Hound's Tooth.

What is BH?

In this context, Bounty Hunter. It is widely assumed that scum are going to get the personal ships of each of the Bounty Hunters that appeared in Empire.

Just deciphered what that card really said -

you mean its not Big and Hairy?

Wild theory ... what if one of the things that goes on display is a mission book?

Finally in line now that the line is somewhat reasonable. Got my tickets for a Kihraxz and TIE Punisher (gonna buy the others at FLGS when they release). The only X-Wing ship that's sold out is the Raider, according to an FFG employee handing out the tickets. The long-building thirst for that huge ship is real!

Oh maaaaan let the hype begin. Wave 7 full spoiled (and released for those lucky few at Gencon!), and Wave 8 in coming!

Imperials still have a number of good options (Gunboat is the obvious one, and REALLY needs to get in the game, but boy oh boy do I have a soft spot for the TIE Hunter), as do Scum (Punishing One seems like it will make it into the game, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they will hold onto that one and go with Zuckuss & 4LOM's ship, the Mist Hunter).

While those factions seem fine, I'm REALLY worried about the stretch they might make to get something from Rebels out. I am admittedly a prequel 'disliker', and would not like to see any ships related to those films in this game. But, it's almost getting to the point the rebels might HAVE to reach back to find something (unless, of course, they reach forward, which is likely inevitable, but it may be just a tad too early for that). I mean, as much as I love the K-wing, that was already reaching deep in the barrel. And yes, so was the Tie Punisher, but, that was more of reaching to the bottom of the barrel when there was other stuff still floating at the top.

I almost would prefer Rebs just re-release an X-wing booster with a needed fix via a ship specific upgrade, and then just have the rest of it be 100% brand new upgrade cards to cover the pain of those who already have X-wings up the wazoo who will be forced to buy a ship they already have to make it competitive.

Scum aces

My money is on The Force Awakens and Rebels ships for Wave 8.

I'd love it to be the long-awaited X-Wing fix and it be a Rogue Squadron aces pack.

I finally made it through the line into Fantasy Flight's store. If anyone doesn't know what it looks like when a store is fully stocked with X-Wing, here you go:

I.. I.... I think I'm in love.
