Assault Carriers and Rebel Transports

By CaribbeanNinja, in Star Wars: Armada

Any ideas on what their abilities will be?

I guess they would be cheaper carriers but I don't know how that would play or fit into the system.

I am happy that I'll have until Summer to save up for ten of them though!

I just saw a picture of this super excited.

Hoping for a new mission type in support of them - some kind of convoy operations would be welcome to have formal rules for.

OTOH, not really a fan of FFG's approach to date of "every scenario must have balanced forces on both sides". Asymmetrical battles are the most interesting...

They seem very small (Like the Raider...) So maybe $19.99?

Oh man I hope there are new objectives with them that would be awesome!

Interesting how small a release it is. Very not in the FFG vein.

It makes me think they are just releasing a "taste" to satiate us howling wolves.

It's SOMETHING

About to post the picture though I can't lie the Bloodborne Board game has me excited.

It was at the same conference.

Wish I could make out some of the values on the base. Still, super excited to get news!

Thanks for posting that...now its clear with the base that they will act as a capital ship. Maybe really cheap point cost with few defenses?

Exciting!

I would bet any amount of money this is not the totality of wave three.

Yeah I agree. If this were the "big news" it surprises me that we've had to wait so long.

Look how small those side arcs are on the gozanti...

Maybe it's small because the rest of Wave 3 is something huge, like the SSD?

Any idea what those ships do in Xwing if they have them?

ship squadrons!

i knew it. no way to get any smaller than this

I wonder if those are not prepainted?

They look like standard imp dark gray and bone gray reb to me. I'm also wondering if it's another R&V type deally where you get both in one...

They also announced on the next slide that Armada will be releasing the Ghost, Inquisitor's TIE, Mist Hunter, Punishing One, TIE f/o, and X-Wing T-70 as Wave 8.

That's X-wing.

we already got the master of jumping :P

Defensive Retrofit: Escape Pods (3 points). When this ship is destroyed, your commander card may move to a transport-class ship at distance 1-5. ;)

Dang it I was SO excited hoping I had missed something...Then realized this was Xwing. Doh!

Yes, it's a "copy/paste from X-wing" Armada joke.
