My theory is that the Ghost comes with two torpedo slots, and that the Sabine crew card lets you convert one or more to bomb slots. Which means, we could get bomb dropping b-wings.

Oh, that's an interesting idea. I wasn't entirely convinced the 2 slots were bombs, but it seemed a better bet given they're both the same and the expansion has more bomb cards than torps.

I've taken a look at a few spreads that I /know/ have bombs on the bar and the bomb upgrade is definitely a bit longer. Fixing that.

Also, TIE and Mist Hunter done from what I can see.

I'm reading Hera's pilot ability as:

"When you reveal a green or red maneuver, you may(?) rotate your dial to another maneuver of the same difficulty"

Does it make any sense?

I see the Jumpmaster has the Gonk! gonk!

I also think that the "rein... Defl..." Is reinforced deflectors. What it does, no idea, probably something to do with the two extra shields.

I assumed the two extra shields were for the Phantom.

That would make more sense.. Though reinforced deflectors still fits.

12 points for an extra red die on the 5000? I can get 2 of them on a Z95 for the same cost.

And since when z95 have turret and can shoot back when shot at?

Look at the whole picture man.

I was close. Mine from July 2014 - IG-88, Bossk, Dengar, Zuckuss (custom ships)

FFG:

That is...uncanny to say the least.

Uncanny is Zuckuss schtick, not Dengar's~

Everything I could see has been updated.

(and yes, I know the Gozanti is sort of not actually Wave 8)

First of all, AMAZING reveal. At least as far as X-wing is concerned, this tops off what was revealed last year. New mechanics, killer cards, new Epic ship, new pilots for Ties! Asymetrical dials, ships that shoot twice, ships that shoot extra dice, a ships that always gets range 1! And to top it off, you can actually dock the TIE Fighters on the Gozanti. It's so cute! And cloak for Headhunters, LOL. This might breathe some life into Starvipers, being the only ship that can cloak with 3 defense dice.

If this feels like Christmas, it's because it will be out by Christmas, LOL! Don't forget there's stuff coming with Episode VII as well, I don't think they'd miss X-wing for that one. Alternate Core set or just an Aces box, we'll see soon enough (I believe September is the reveal moment for all TFA merchandise?)

I agree, this is the most exciting Wave reveal in a long time. Before I would have said Wave 3 was the most exciting (when announced).

Two points: Pretty sure Gonk will be crew, not astromech, and I'm fairly sure that the PS4 Advance Prototype pilot will be "Baron Officer", as it's not unique.

Anyway, I also agree that this is a very cool wave, with all the Rebels stuff, but to be honest, unlike previous waves... I'm just not seeing anything I want more than one of... Anyone see anything where multiples would be worth getting yet?

tbh I should have put the Gonk in unknown, but who knows.

Can't see enough of the PS4's name to be sure, but that's probably it. And yeah, I noticed it wasn't unique.

This is a very nice collection of pictures and info thank you.

I posted my guesses in the other thread, but they probably fit better here.

Gonk droid: probably crew, not astro; probably does something to add shields (hence the extra tokens in the pack). My guess is something temporary, like "Add 3 shields; at end of turn, take 3 damage".

Sabine crew -> Adds a bomb slot. That would let the Ghost take Thermal Detonators, which is kind of her "thing" in the TV show.

The turret in the Ghost pack looks more like "Double..." than "Dorsal..." to me, and also makes more sense IMHO. On the other hand, "Dorsal Turret" looks like the right size to fit the space.

EPT in the Dengar pack has Bossk art and has a short title starting with "R". I'm predicting it's Rage, which does some kind of offensive boost for some negative effect, which could put it as (one of?) the zero-cost EPT mentioned in the article text.

The "ADAPT..." card has to be a one-word name given the centering, so it must be "Adaptive" or "Adapting", which would make the most sense as an EPT. No idea what that italicized word on the first line could be, but it must be short since it starts almost dead-center of the card.

- H8

Hera's ability I believe reads that when you perform a green or red maneuver you can rotate your dial to a different maneuver of the same difficulty. Something similar to that but I'm not totally sure.

Sounds about right thematically.

Added Mist Hunter reference card partials, including "Dual Upgrades" (!?)

The cards that I'm guessing are something like "Attani Mindlink" and "Guidance Control" have me kind of excited just based on the text that we can see. If Attani Mindlink allows all pilots with the EPT that don't already have a focus token to recieve on when one takes a focus action (which is kind of what it looks like) and it is an inexpensive EPT it's going to be nice option for generics that get EPTs.

2 Ns in Attanni, but I think you're dead-on about the name and effect.

I hope it isn't that lol.

Talonbane or Graz could get 5 dice also with their abilities. Talon could be a sinister cloaker.

I'll probably need a few of the Mist Hunter for cloaking devices for my stealthy z95 swarm.

Cloaking Device is unique.

I still might consider multiples if Tractor Beam is worth spamming on 5 Scyk.

Don't know if it's been stated, but that turret with the Ghost has the Action heading. We gonna see a secondary attack in the activation phase?

... oh c'mon, is Dengar really a better pilot than Boba Fett? Seriously? Because clearly a PWT can't survive unless he's equal to Soontir, right? Because Dash and Chirpy struggle so much, obviously. Gnnngh.

For a faction that's meant to be dirty tricks at lower PS, they seem to throw it awfully casually out in these follow-up waves.
