The SKU numbers have me intrigued. Will Wave 9 appear in a preview soon? Are they holding out on Wave 9 info because it has Rogue One material? Will Heroes of the Resistance and Wave 9 release at or around the same time? Are those SKUs not even Wave 9?

All interesting things to think about.

4-ship Wave 9 or 3-ship Wave 9 plus Scum Vets would be my guess.

In a recent interview Alex Davy mentioned that after wave 9 Scum will have an equal number of ships to the Empire, so my guess is wave 9 is comprised of 1 Rebel 1 Imperial and 2 Scum.

I'm calling it (;p)

Scum:

-Scurrg H-6 Bomber

-Shadow Caster

Rebels:

-H-Wing

Empire:

-Skipray Blastboat

Looking like we get some Eldritch Horror news if you're into that!

Mum on X-Wing so far...

That's because dad's hogging it.

Eldritch horror and Imperial assault updates are great. Eldritch horror is a great entry level game for beginners to board games, RPGs and Pen and Paper and Imperial assault desperately needs more attention.

I almost don't want Wave Nine to be announced as it means a TIE S/f will curse our boards.

considering the best wave evar was wave 7, we can't go wrong with more bombers :D

the H-wing is one derpy looking bloke, though, and a tad too similar to what'd come out of an ill-advised tryst between an A and a Y :(

Wave 9...this is my call.

Shadowcaster and scurrg h6 -scum

That transport b wing thing from tfa for rebels

Its okay.

You have enough on your plate right now, anyway. :D

Wave 9...this is my call.

Shadowcaster and scurrg h6.

Which will most likely and hopefully not happen since they are both large ships, the one thing that scum doesn't need more of.

No offence, I just think scum are in dire need of good small ships

I think a now available news post for Imperial Veterans will be the next X-wing product news we get.

Then either a Wave 9 announcement or a preview of one of the ships from Heroes of the Resistance. I suppose it depends on which is going to ship first, Wave 9 or HotR.

Surprise armade wave with Corvette Command ship from Rebels along with Interdictor, quasar fire, ARGH Kittens, Phoenix squadron, SCUM faction, Acclimator and Venator, and providence class for rebels.

Ok, yeah definitely not any of that.

It's hard to be a bounty hunter if your bounty has to sit in your lap for the flight back. Scum should be almost entirely large ships. It helps build a faction identity, and most named characters in the EU flew larger craft.

Scum isn't exclusively bounty hunters, though. It also is pirates and mercs that very well have a use for fighters. Black Sun is a huge part of the Scum factions identity, as are the hutt cartels. In my opinion independant pirates need a little bit more stuff. Right now all we have for those is Kath Scarlet and her Binayre pirates + maybe the YV-666 generic.

Cloakshape fighter and Preybird NEED to be in scum like back in wave 6.

We got all the bounty hunters but they missed Guri in her Stinger, for shame. And Skipray definitely is missed. Both large ships, but hey I guess that's a scum thing.

There's your wave 9, you can even do a second Most Wanted, call it Dead or Alive, recolor the Starviper and Scyk, or maybe the Khiraxz. Or all three.

You know what would be great? Is if FFG decided to make the Gunboat scum because so many people wanted it but they didn't want it to disrupt the "identity" of the Imperial fleet. :D

No offence, I just think scum are in dire need of goda small ships

The obscenely large K-Wing and the Tie Punishest are both dedicated bombers on a SMALL base, despite their size.

And I continue to wish that the K-wing, Punisher and Ig-2000 were on medium sized bases... sigh... missed opportunity.

People don't want the gunboat or the avenger because they are lame!

Now MissileBoat... That I can get behind.

And Tie Droid... Yah. That's where it's at.

And Tie Predator.

Most Hunter and IG 2000 are practically the same size, yet one is small and the other large.

I wonder if a 'medium' base could be made that is 'long' as well as one that is 'square'. The K-wing can have the 'long' medium base set 'wide' like two small bases side by side to represent the insane wing span, and the punisher could have the 'square' base that is the same area as two small bases. IG would be 'long', like the HWK, the Mist Hunter maybe long as well. Battle butterfly I guess would be square.

What other ships would you think need a medium base?

Not a huge fan of long or wide bases, just make a new square size.

I Wish the firespray was on a small base. Compared to the punisher maybe it shouldmhave been. Plus then i could fly it in HotAC. A new medium base size would be fine too.

Ya, we get other base sizes and things get a little confusing. I think Firespray could be a medium size, misthunter too. And maybe punishing one?

Yeah, p1 is only barely bigger than a K-wing.
