I usually collect for both sides and I enjoy Epic. But! I don't collect for 100 points of every kind of ship. Mostly I have 2-4 of the Imperial and Rebel ships with the exception of the TIE L/n of which I have 8, go figure. I was thinking because of the cards they offer and in a typical Epic build you'd want 2 of each. I don't think I need more than that.

Thoughts? Or do I only really need 1.

Thanks,

I got 2 of each, for numerous reasons

for the double k-wing or punisher builds

upgrade cards

conner net and cluster mine tokens

2 K-wings for conners, though normally you'll only run one K (2 are hilarious fun for epic, really get the most out of seismics against clumps of enemies )

1 Punisher if you want to run any (clusters are bleck)

2 K-wings and 4 Punishers because I always paint one or two as 181st and same number as Royal Guard.

I'm not sure how many Punishers I'll get, but 2 K-wings seems useful. Need those 4 TLTs for endless 8-attack fun!

2 K-Wings also lets you run 4 TLT Y-Wings, which seems like it should be hilarious.

Punisher seems like it depends on how badly you really want that ordinance swarm. At the very least, you'll probably want Deathrain.

2 K-wings, because bomber's need to fly in formation.

1 Punisher, because it is the formation.

I'm on a budget so I usually only get 1 ship unless it is a real low point cost swarm type ship like the Scyk then I get two. I do double up on ships but usually I wait for the wave to mature before I see what good the extra ship would do. Example I only have 1 TIE advance but after the fix I may get another one. Same for the HWK-290 but Most wanted makes it possible for me to run 2 of them.

2 K-Wings. Good cards, good tokens, and you could reasonably fly a couple generics as escorts or as part of a four-ship build.

1 Punisher. Because the generics are out-done by TIE Bombers and you're not going to be able to fit both Redline and Deathrain in a decent list.

1 k wing, 1 punisher, 1 hounds tooth

There already more Conner nets coming in future packs and I don't foresee flying more then 1 in a standard 100 point list. Epic games tend to be few and far between as well and plenty more ships coming for that too.

I try to not over buy and it has done me well so far. I currently own 6 tie/ln and with the gonzati that will hit 8. Maybe wave 7.5 stuff might make it 10 but those maybe different ships even if they are basically repaints.

Argh... I guess I'm over buying. But like I said I like to have enough for Epic-ish... I'll definitely have more TIE L/n and X-Wings than I'll carry. Replacements or something for the kids.

Most likely 1 of each is fine; with 2 I'll have the cards and Epic builds and you might get Redline and Deathrain in Epic each escorting a pair of TIE Bombers. Decisions, decisions.

I think 2 of anything is plenty for any ship and some really only need 1. As for the OP's original question I personally think 2 of each is a good call. Double the turrents with the K, double the ion engines with the Punisher. I have had impulses to get some ships en masse but unless the funds are readily available it'll never be necessary for a 100 point build. One day my 4 mangler Omicron idea will fly but $80 for a shock and awe gag is way down the list.

I think cardwise, 2 is good enough for general use.

Buy one of each now.

Get bored by your collection, by one more next month. Two more in two weeks. Buy exponentially more until the world is a plastic grey goo resembling a K-Punisher.

I'm getting one of each. I can't see myself using them often, but the cards are useful. Second connor net and cluster mines from the Ghost expansion, if I get that.

I ordered 3 of each, mostly for the upgrades and new bomb tokens. Now we get more of those in the ghost pack maybe i will sell 1 of each to a friend. Not sure yet as i plan to do more epic games when my raider arrives, maybe a third then would be nice...

That's funny. Well I will admit I originally purchased 4 TIE Interceptors and thought. Yep perfect number overall. Then of course Aces came out. So I ended up getting a couple of those so I'd be able to have the right mix. But I still only carry dials for 4 Interceptors. So even though I have extras I don't/cant' field them in a game. I like the 2/4/8 squad numbers. 1 for most large (2 x IG-2000), 2-3 for specials (TIE Phantom, Defender, Advance, maybe B-Wing), 4 of most other stuff, 8 TIE fighers.

With FFG's release policy, I'm ending up with extra X-Wings, B-Wings, A-Wings, Interceptors and soon to be TIE Fighters too. That is the main reason I've been cutting back. If they release the same model in a different pack I have spare stuff that just sits in a box.

I'd stick with one of each, although I'd buy a second K-Wing before buying a second Punisher.

I'll get 1 Hounds Tooth, 2 Punisher, 2 K-wings (and 4 Khiraxzxhgfzxxazxza Fighters).

I will get 2 K-Wing and 2 TIE Punisher. Also, 3 Kihraxz Fighters. I'm still unsure about the Hound's Tooth: 2 or 1?

I need two Punishers to have enough TIE Mk 2s to run Shoot to Thrill.

One of each until I fly them a decent amount.

I'm getting 2 of each. There's a lot of good or even great cards in both packs and I want the ships as well.

If you ever fly Tie's I think you'd want 2 punishers just so you had 4 TIE MKII's

Yep!

One of each for now. I can't ever see you wanting to fly two K-wings or Punishers in any list that isn't epic. I may eventually get another Punisher down the road for MKIIs, but two of those should work for me for a while. Really I can proxy the card if I want anyway. The only Wave 7 ship I plan on getting multiples of is the Kirahzaasdjf. Getting two for now, but if I like it, I might get 4 of the SOBs.
