Worth buying 2 imperial veterans?

By FellowPT, in X-Wing

For epic you need at least Six defenders...maybe nine...yes nine sounds right.

Yeah, you're gonna want four packs... And assuming you buy standard hulls for the rest, this means that Vessery and Stele can fly colour-coded formations. :D

lol who owns 9 Juke upgrade cards?

Play Epic at home so proxies work fine. Nine Jukes, no. 4 Blood Defenders, hell yeah!

4 it is.

I don't see any good 3 defender builds where you will need an additional veterans pack.

Onyx Squadron Pilot with /x7 Title and Hull Upgrade x 3

Delta Squadron Pilot with /D Title and Ion Cannon x 3

Glaive Squadron Pilot with /x7 Title and Crack shot x 3 (or replace 1 Glaive with Ryad)

2 Defenders and a pocket Ace seems good to me but I think TriDef lists will definitely be a good thing too.

I think I'm right in thinking that the Ryad base token is on the back of the Glaive Sqd base token. Might be an issue in tournaments

Two red defenders and a red Intereceptor, looks do **** good

Thinking of trying out thee reds myself. Not sure if Fel/Ryad/Delta or Fel/Phennir/Ryad is better though.

Yep. The base tokens are Ryad/Glaive and Maarek/Glaive.

Absolutely worth, just to have 4 Gamma Veteran cards and bases. Probably won't need more than three, but you always might get to play epic.

One = none. Two = One. :)

I never ever considered just purchasing one.

Possibly looking at two. Already have 2 Defenders and 2 Bombers, so having a title for each ship would be nice in Epic. The extra Tractor Beam might also be worth it, just so I can have three for use here and there. Definitely a personal choice, as you could always get the second Vet pack later.

An extra Crack Shot is also a big draw. I'm not too keen on stocking up on Kihraxzs right now.

The question is totally dependant on you really.

If you had 0 defenders and 0 bombers before hand then yes for sure.

Personally I already had 2 defenders and 4 bombers so I'd only be buying another set for the titles and I am not sure I'd want to use 4 bomber titles and happy enough to use 2 X7's and 1 Tie/D if I ever did use 3 defenders,

If I had all the monies I'd buy them purely for the bomber paint scheme. Tempting to buy 3 sets and just keep the bombers, sell all the extra stuff off.

You are also buying them for the Bomber pilots who are extremly good!

Um yea its worth it. Reason #4: Multiple red Defenders

Better RED than dead!!!

Is it worth it? Ask me in a month or two.

yes because then ffg make more money and will keep making more x wing stuff. if we stop buying it they will stop making it

All royals. All red. And Carnor + 8x 3-die crackshots is... kinda terrifying, actually. Guess that means you need eight packs. You know, for the colour co-ordination. :D

You don't need an additional pack for this.
You will need one for the extra copy of the titles if you want to run 3 /x7s or 3 /Ds.

I mentioned this above, but to run Ryad and 2 Glaives you will need two packs because you will need one more cardboard base.

I already have 5 bombers, one already modded to be a TIE-Shuttle (and painted red), so I am having a hard time convincing myself to purchase two, but I might anyway... :) . I also need to figure out if I need multiple sets one colored base set, or mix & match... :D

I've got two on order. One from MM and one from my FLGS. I want to be able to run a 3 Defender flight. And I need to be able to field a pair of Gamma Squadron Veterans. So those two boxes will give me 4 of each and that, along with my Raider, guarantees me EPIC superiority. :)

And, the red ones are pretty.

Get a Palpshuttle in there so they actually have something to guard!

I only have two defenders now and four bombers. But I was thinking the four defender in Epic would be good and 4 bombers with a Jonas in a shuttle escort helping with fire control might see play too.

Um yea its worth it. Reason #4: Multiple red Defenders

I don't know how that's possible though. I thought when two Decimators mated, they gave birth to a blue Defender.

Decimator and Falcon offspring? Is the red defender sterile?

Long Range Sensors x 4 is also a good reason to have a second box.
