Wave IX predictions

By Furelli, in X-Wing

So basically a 2 ark, 3 agi, 3 hull, 1 shield, with a fast dial and a gimmicky rear arc/turret.

The tech manual says it has heavier shields that's what the cogs power so it'd have 3 attack 3 agility 3 hull 2 shields with a rear arc or a turret slot.

Tbh, a Tie sf can just be represented as a title card (like the tie shuttle).

SWG starfighter # 5001

SWG starfighter #5002

I'm hoping for:

Nova Courier

Dunelizard

Krayt

Kimogila

Then the TIE Aggressor and Ixiyen in Wave 10

How do you measure the rear arc then?

TIE/SF

Att 2

Agi 3

Hull 3

Shield 2

Focus, TL, Evade, BR

Tech, System, Missile, Crew

Auxiliary arc to rear on ship token

Title: TIE Special Forces (TIE /SF only)

Att +1 primary attacks in front arc.

The biggest problem is modeling the ship to have a peg without hiding both the special ventral turret and the rear viewport.

  • TIE/sf
  • Upsilon Shuttle
  • Rebel Transport
  • Scurrg H-6 prototype bomber (just as they have the cast already from Armada)

I keep wondering if they'll start bringing in unseen vessels from TFA - what were these lovebirds flying?

Scum don't need no mo large base ships!!!!

It's a lot more distinct from the TIE/fo than the TIE/fo is from the TIE/ln (instead of CG vs. model kit, it's cog wings, rear window, and antennae). Gives'em something else to make a model of to release for TFA (and with the TFA Falcon they've already shown a willingness to even give us an identical Falcon body with a redesigned dish part, so...).

Please god no... this game doesn't need anymore turrets and a small based ship with a rear arc would be covering some new and interesting ground.

Empire has no small base turret we could use at least one.

The TIE/sf having a turret would step all over the TIE Aggressor's design space.

And I'm OK with that.

If they are making a new sculpt, altering really, for BB-8, then a new TIE sculpt is surely going to show up. The extra fuel tanks, turret, rear window and engines, antannae, all make a new model likely.

Make it a turret, yes, that is the cheap and easy way.

Change the layout for the card to allow secondary arc/overlap secondary arc

My idea, and best of a lot, make a secondary arc token that slides onto the maneouvre nubs. A fire arc extension as it were - I have one in acrylic. This allows a mod that can apply to a-wings that could fire weapons rear (At least in the toys). Could be made in cardboard, take up minimal space. This works as the arc extends out the corners of the front, so will the back.

I was thinking along these lines, but think they'll go with a pwt instead, with 3 dice in arc and 2 dice out of arc.

Empire has "Ruthlessness" making turrets a bit too strong.

S&V: Hondo Ohnaka crew (no idea which ship for him, please not a saucer),

Would like a dedicated bomber like the Scurrg, so´mething S&V is missing.

edit added ship.

Here's my current opinion of how the TIE/sf should be handled:

Wave 9 prediction

1) Scurrg H-6 Bomber (scum large base)

2) TIE/sf (Auxiliary rear arc, please no turret slot, agility 3 ships with TLT sounds terrible)

3) another scum ship (small base)

4) some rebel ship

I'm still hoping scum gets a defensive crew option so Bossk can live longer. Gonk is not good enough.

It is very possible that two of the four wave9 ships will be totally unexpected, like the Punisher was.

I truly hope that wave9 is revealed tomorrow.

Empire has no small base turret we could use at least one.

And the TIE Aggressor should be that ship. Here's my current opinion of how the TIE/sf should be handled: 256tbhi.jpg BCzs00L.jpg

I have ney objection to the aggressor but the cog will likely arrive first.

Swwweeeettt!!! That looks awesome!!!

How do you measure the rear arc then?

By using the printed rear arc on the new base inserts. It doesn't require a new model to do that.

Still, if FFG are making a slightly different falcon and releasing it with repainted JJ-wing then it would be fair to assume that they will also do a First Order pack with a re-modelled Tie for the SF and I guess it would would make sense to release it with Kylo's shuttle

Here goes:

1. FO: Kylo Ren Shuttle, no Kylo Ren pilot

2. FO: SF Tie

3. S&V: Scurrg Bomber

4. Reb: Whatever Jyn Erso and her team flies in Rogue One

Announcement will be after we see their ship in a trailer.

I was in the store yesterday and was looking at the Star Wars legos, and saw the resistance troop carrier again (that one that Leia rode on). Pretty sure we will get that before the Rogue One ships. So I'm going to adjust my prediction.

Looks like an even bulkier version of the b-wing with a square container attached as cockpit that Anakin flies in the clonewars.. i'd prefer that version if we really need such a thing in x-wing.

Then I won't be getting the cog because I'm terrible with shuttles.
