MY faith is restored. My wallet is doomed. Long live the corporate empire.

To be fair...I really would have preferred the Assault Gunboat before the inevitable endless waves of TIEs (looks like TIE Fighters in the Gozanti, new TIE for the Inquisitor, seems likely a pair of new TIEs with the Episode VII stuff...)

Specifically, I'd happily have traded the Inquisitor's fighter for the Assault Gunboat.

That said...I can see why they did what they did. More well known to the public, named pilots that people actually have seen ON SCREEN, etc. And then the whole theme of the wave, outside of the Scum faction, being 'Star Wars: Rebels'...

From a business perspective, it was a no-brainer. STILL....****, I want that gunboat...

- in my opinion -

Pros:

Ghost is PWAA not PWT

Cloak Illicit. My Zs want that. just for blocking LAUGHs.

Tractor beam?

Gozanti looks amazing. And more Tie support. Happy about that.

Tracer missile will empower a nameless missile shooters. Death to all pancake.

Cons:

We now have 2 ships called Phantom

Punishing One makes PWT 3 dice. NOT AGAIN.

More tie (although cool)

I wanted to see a sleek white Gunboat thingie.

Can my faith be torn in half?

Where the kriff is the Gunboat. and why are we getting an A-wing clone.

The upside, of course, is that HAHAHAHAHA why did people think we'd ever get the TIE Avenger?

Punishing One title upgrade for extra 1 damage is 12 points.... pretty pricey for the 3 PWT. Good but pricey.

Keep in mind the ship has a white-S-loop, and if Dengar can get a target in his sites, he can attack twice in a single turn.

So...yeah, 12 points seems legit. Puts it up in the range of all the other 3-ATK PWTs.

UHHH. Yeah. Twice? 3 dice? Turret? erm. I think we have yet another fat pancake.

Hmm..... Boomerang really....

UHHH. Yeah. Twice? 3 dice? Turret? erm. I think we have yet another fat pancake.

Scum don't necessarily have the defensive crew for proper fatness.

Dengar being PS9 is a little wierd.

If I got pancakes shaped like that at IHOP, I'd send them back.

That was bugging me too. Dengar is a better pilot than Fett? Really?

Dengar being PS9 is a little wierd.

Yeah, weird that hes 9.

Also, that's what we said about decimators, remember?? guess how that turned out.

Anyone else wanna contribute some pros and cons of the 7.5 and 8?

Also, sometimes my eggs and pancakes come out that way. Still delicious

Pro: Hopefully more Epic play. Possibly official Epic tourneys?

Tricks of the trade? Trade secret?

Disintegration devices!

Looking forward to several things here... Ghost with the coordination of it's little friend and tractor beams!

I'm not entirely averse to it - he actually is a pretty good pilot per Bounty Hunter Wars. I guess maybe I'll glue VI to Fett's card.

pros/cons:

+Punishing One

+Mist Hunter

+Gozanti

±Ghost

-Adv. Prototype

Punishing One:

+++properly-researched BHW pilots (other two named are Manaroo and Tel Trevura)

+++Boba crew (thematic af given BHW)

++GONK CREW

±PS9 Dengar

±Punishing One title (could have left it at ATK2 tbh)

Mist Hunter:

++Tractor Beam (bloody finally)

+Not that I expected less, but the ship was always a bit ugly and FFG has made it perfect

+Illicit cloak (I think this was said best in another thread: NEEDA IS ALWAYS WRONG)

+Scum B-wing with built-in E2?

Gozanti:

++Kallus ROCKING the mutton chops (has also become Hugh Jackman?)

++actually at 1/270 for functional TIE docking

Ghost:

+non-awful Rebels character art

+no Fulcrum crew

+canonically-represented thermal detonators

-4ATK fattie

-Phantom (it's still ugly, even FFG couldn't save it)

Adv. Prototype:

-did we really need this

-seriously why is it a better A-wing clone

UHHH. Yeah. Twice? 3 dice? Turret? erm. I think we have yet another fat pancake.

Scum don't necessarily have the defensive crew for proper fatness.

Dengar being PS9 is a little wierd.

That was bugging me too. Dengar is a better pilot than Fett? Really?

Wasn't Dengar a hotshot swoop racer before he became a hunter. I think he crashed really badly in a race against Han, and then got all cyborg up and started bounty hunting. So I can see ps 9, plus he's corellian, they're all crazy about flying.

IIRC in Tales of the Bounty Huntess he was also cybernetically enhanced by the empire.

Such a beautiful...beautiful day. I've been waiting a long while for Star Wars Rebels to get into FFG.

*wipes tears of joy away*

I'm gonna be so broke...

What's making me go absolutely crazy is the inevitable next-steps, here.

I'd say "Rebels" and/or Lothal, generally, is a sure-fire guaranteed future module of 'Imperial Assault'.

Eeeyup! My thoughts exactly!

Sabine Wren in Imperial Assault must happen!

I'll wait for the next wave. ;P

Nothing against this one, I just have almost no connection to it. Maybe I'll pick up the Bounty Hunters though.

What gets me is that Hera Syndula is only PS 7. She is made out to be a crazy good pilot in both Rebel Dawn and the television series...I was expecting at least an 8. And then Dengar comes out of seemingly nowhere with a PS 9. I'm glad you guys who have read BHW are sharing your knowledge, because that PS choice left me scratching my head.
