I will miss this thread for the next month. We all will. After awhile it will pull us back in I'm sure.

For now we bask in the glory of wave 9.

Since the italian leak was legit, then this might be too for wave 10

XG-1 Assault Gunboat

Resistance Transport

No.... No no no... This one has the Gunboat in it. That means it was for sure created by a fan.

A 3-ship wave does plausible given Scum are supposed to have ship parity as of Wave 9.

Sinsabre posted the link to that image in this reddit thread. I don't know most people over there, so I don't know if he made it as a joke, or not.

Thoughts on that image:

Wave X as a three-ship wave sounds plausible. One of each faction. Especially if the Rogue One ships end up being released in a stand alone fashion, a la Force Awakens
Leia's Resistance Shuttle sounds plausible, as it's one of two remaining ships form The Force Awakens.

However...

The quality of the image is better than the original ItaliaGate leak - it looks like it may have been recreated.
The Heroes of the Resistance pack translates as "Eroi della Resistenza" - see http://www.starfightersitalia.com/annunciati-gli-eroi-della-resistenza/
Barca Pistola? Either tongue in cheek or very Google translated.

Not convinced. Although I said the same thing about the original WAVE IX leak...

Even less convinced now I've read the redditor's post;

"Guys! I also found a photo of unreleased Italian stuff. It's totally not fake or anything."

Full marks for effort, though.

Oh I sure hope so.

That said, we'll probably see the U-Wing, TIE Striker, and two other things. Or three, who knows- given scum / rebel / imperial equality.

i think 3 ships, 1 per faction would be the best way to go now. If they step back production to just 3 ships per wave, I might actually feel okay about buying one of each ship!

Personally I'm waiting to hear about a veterans pack, An epic ship, and a heroes pack for scum before I would put them on par with the other factions. And please don't try to argue the Most Wanted release was a veterans pack.

A runebound preview?!

Come on, where's my ARC-170 article?

Posted at 2016-06-07 15:30:21+00:00

Come on Nationals info.....

oh and worlds info...

Veterans in stores now article?

Posted at 2016-06-09 17:55:28+00:00

more concerned with Origins at this point. First flight is less than a week away and we don't know what we are heading into/ playing for.

Plus I really doubt they drop veterans right before Nationals and say "GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!"

But I have been wrong in the past.... A lot.

Posted at 2016-06-09 19:04:34+00:00

Veterans in store article tomorrow, for the love of dog

Posted at 2016-06-09 19:29:33+00:00

I expected the Imp Vets release article like, 2 weeks ago. I'm in no hurry to see Defenders everywhere, but man, shouldn't this thing be on shelves already?

Posted at 2016-06-09 19:34:40+00:00

I doubt that 'leak' is legit.-

Well, I hope it is. No Rebel Veterans means no X-Wing fix.

Posted at 2016-06-09 19:57:38+00:00

It's not legit. It was a joke by a reddit poster.

Posted at 2016-06-09 21:13:41+00:00

The thread lives!!!!!

That's the point of it.

This thread, more than any other, best represents the spirit of the community.

Screw ships, screw dice, screw repaints, screw tournament data.

WHEN IS THE NEXT THING COMING OUT.

This is the thread that never ends

some posters, started writing it

not knowing what it was

and we'll continue posting on it forever just because

This is the thread that never ends

I just can't wait until they announce that they will never do a gunboat so that thread can die and this one can become the greatest and longest ever...

Posted at 2016-06-09 21:53:47+00:00

WHEN IS THE NEXT THING COMING OUT.

AND WHY ISN'T IT HERE ALREADY? WHO'S MANNING THESE BOATS, ANYWAY?

Posted at 2016-06-09 21:59:20+00:00

You know what? I might lose my status as Gunboat Prophet saying this, but I'd be quite happy if they DID actually announce that the Gunboat will never come out. At least then we'd know for sure.

Because then I'd pick up a couple of 99p Cutlass Squadron Pilot cards and tiles from the secondary market, and a couple of very expensive Gunboat models from one of those lovely people at that alternative venue, paint them up and proxy the hell out of them.

But while there's no official word either way, there's uncertainty. And while there's uncertainty, there's hope. And while there's hope, you're just going to have to put up with the Gunboat thread I'm afraid!

I declare there shall be no previews or news this week.

Maybe reverse psychology will work.

For the viewing audiences reference, here are some original, genuine, release projections from FFG.

citation [[ xwing-miniatures.wikia.com/wiki/X-Wing_Miniatures_Wiki ]]

Droid R5-P8 has cruched the #'s and will now share with us her projections based on her careful observations of "The Boat"

Imperials Veterans (Announced December 14, 2015 / Scheduled for Q1 2016)

-- projection : 0.000% chance Veterans is released Q1 this year

Heroes of the Resistance (Announced May 4, 2016 / Scheduled for Q3 2016)

-- projection : 4.314% chance HotR is released Q3 this year

Wave 9 (Announced June 2, 2016 / Scheduled for Late Q3 2016)

-- projection : 8.987654321% chance Wave 9 is released during 2016

Colored Bases and Pegs (Announced September 17, 2015 / Scheduled for Q4 2015)

-- projection : 23.48151642% chance colored bases are released before September 17, 2016

Lets rant about how long it's taking 'Colored Bases and Pegs' to arrive. After a week we'll rant about Imperial Veterans again.

Which preview will be out today?
