imperial veterans speculation thread

but not with useful EPTs.

You mean like Veteran Instincts or Crackshot? At 32 points post Title reduction, there's still room for some good ones plus a 1 point initiative bid. Or to have one with Juke and two with Crackshot or something.

Vessery/Glaive/Glaive with x7 and Crack Shot. (Almost certainly) exactly 100 points, lots of free actions, should absolutely outperform any generics, laughs at stresspigs, and has enough tricks and durability to threaten aces. Probably plays a bit like Brobots.

There are just so many brutally lovely squad possibilities with IV... I just absolutely cannot wait for it to come out.

Hey everyone. New to posting on the forums here but I have been reading them for awhile. Just wanted to point out that the Imperial Veterans status no longer says "at the printer". Now there is no status at all. What could that mean?

It looks like they have recently updated their pre-release statuses on the products page and replaced everything with 'available for purchase', 'out of stock', and 'not yet released'.

https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/x-wing/says 'not yet released' for Vets. e: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/upcoming/still says 'at the printer' for me. Check your cache maybe?

To the best of my knowledge we don't have any further information about this.

I'm personally looking forward to what else we can stack on defenders to make tractor beaming someone even more fun.

I'm already looking forward to the day whet I can punt biggs away from someone, then double tap the vulnerable one, or punt someone right next to Carnor

Glaives should have an EPT. The are the Royal Guard Pilot of the Defender line. I think they'll be 34 points, but I will be presently surprised if they are 33.

Highly doubt they'll be 33 though. Being able to run 3 with Juke sounds a bit crazy.

If they're 34 then just run two with Carnor Jax (Ptl + AT), that's what I plan on doing =)

Glaive Squad pilots are PS6- right at the low edge of having Juke be useful.

Wired, however, might be an interesting option.

I strongly suspect that Glaive Squadron Defenders will be 34pts and have EPT slots. I'd be pretty shocked if it were otherwise.

Then again, not being Vessery is worth a couple points easily enough in itself. ;)

If you need to spend the Evade so be it. But you are getting it free for doing the maneuver you do 75% of the time in the Defender.
