Happy Wave 8 Friday

By Cubanboy, in X-Wing

Well Wave 8 is coming out, so all is well. This is my first adventure back into X-wing in a while personally it is an exciting time.

Leave a thought on what ship your going to like the most below, and be excellent to each other.

I think the inquisitor is going to be a game changer like the Falcon was for a long time.

I have high hopes for Ghost; I love Rebels and I love the ship model! So I hope to find it alot of fun to run and it seems from the pilots and crews, that it has some unique new combinations and tactics to think about!

... and be excellent to each other.

I have been a dedicated Corran flyer for almost 2 years.

Chopper is my new Corran.

I can't wait to fly the Punishing One and the Mist Hunter!

Looking forward to getting the TIE/Inq, especially Valen Rudor, and Chopper on the table!

Definitely looking forward to getting my hands on the Punishing One expansion. Planning on running Dengar alongside Bossk in a Hound's Toilet list. :D

I too am super stoked for the Jumpmaster...have so many hopefully excellent and not bogus lists built already.

I'm a scum player mostly, so definitely looking forward to Jumpmaster. That being said, I'm a HUGE fan of Star Wars Rebels so the Ghost is definitely going to be making it into a LOT of lists!

JM5K and TAP. Probably the JM5K more so. Probably going to buy a few of those.

Planning to get the Jumpmaster frist. Had an idea to run a squad based on it and the hounds tooth. Basically a rebirth squad for a causal game.

:D :D :D

I'm excited for the TAPS aces.

Theyre a deadly blend of the boost/barell roll of the interceptor and the not dying rightawayness of the a wing.

And I can't wait to try the youngster epsilon leader rage tie swarm.

Ghost all the way! And that Inquisitor TIE! Yowzee!

The scum ships are calling to me. Can't wait for the flying toilet seat and some binary pirates.

I am just happy about Imperial Vets, I love the Defender, now it's viable, like what the raider did for the TIE Advanced. Tractor beam Vessery could be Imps next big thing.

I can't wait for the Ghost! Pheniox Squadron baby!!

And freaking Boba Fett crew card is making me want to collect Scum now damnit

I can't win...

Where do people come by this information?

Just to be clear, Imperial Vets are released on 3/17 too, correct?

No, not even close, they've not even left the printer yet.

https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/upcoming/is where the information comes from; the global release date was published last week as 17 March, but this makes it seem like they might beat that deadline by a week or so.

Happy Friday, Cubanboy.

Mist Hunter for me. I got plans.

Downer! :( I want my Glaive squadron defenders.

Happy House of Cards day!

I'm very hyped for the JumpMaster. All of the named pilots look really interesting, and the generic is priced very competitively. I think I'm going to be using the Contracted Scout a lot as a torpedo boat in my Scum lists going forwards.

Happy Friday!

I am looking forward to using the V1 in my normal games. I've got a list idea with Tie Fighters, FO's, and the Inquisitor to have a list of only pilots that boost their attack dice.

I'll probably end up using Guidance Chip the most out of all the stuff that comes out, though.

Still, Dengar is really cool and I'll find ways to play him.

My son and I will fly the Ghost. That should be fun.

This is one probably the Wave where I actually see me playing all the ships at some point. The only one that is just so-so to me is the Misthunter, but at least it will have Tractor Beams.

Uh ... everything in this wave is going to end up in my collection. I've already pre-ordered two Ghosts, mainly so I can add two shuttles to my rebel lists and "maybe" experiment with a dual ghost list.

That said, the punishing one and dual mist hunters also sound like good additions to my scum lists. I've pre-ordered those as well.

I wish the Tie Advanced Prototype had another gimmick beyond the title card for the non-unique pilots, but the unique pilot abilities for the TAP are pretty killer. Not sure yet if I'll just buy one TAP or if I'll buy two.
