What happend to Heroes of the Resistance?

By JimbonX, in X-Wing

Is Heroes of Resistance canceled or what? No news. No info since June. All we got is "at the printer" and nothing more.

Is FFG getting cold feets with HotR because they realize that printing almost same pilots and sell it for higher price isn't a good idea?

Don't panic. It just takes a while for it to come out. It's a special release, so it happens independent of the various Waves. I'm sure it's hear before Xmas. It's just how things go.

Yeah we will most likley get Heroes before the end of the year (possibly alongside wave 9), and wave 10 at the start of next year

What on earth? You know there is absolutely nothing to promote this line of thinking, right? Have you followed FFG's outside of wave releases at all JimbonX?

I hope it comes out soon. I want to know what that new astromech does, plus what do the Rey and Finn crew cards do. These can make all the difference for the Rebels. Hopefully they will not be a let down like the R3 cards.

i am surprised there isnt a single peep about it though.

Makes me worry we wont have it along side wave9 (month-ish)

HotR is an auto-buy for me, but not everything in wave 9/10 is.

everything is autobuy for me thats rebel/imperial. Scum i debate upon because i dont play scum..yet

It's not due out till after wave 9. It just got announced out of order and too soon.

Hopefully.

Baby's first X-Wing expansion. Fat turret and a regen ship in one convenient box.

Ace-style packs, as noted, have pretty much always come out between the official Wave releases.

They're fleeing in terror from Kylo Ren

Seriously, ps 0 falcons. That's no bueno

Tell me about it.

Ran FatHan a couple days ago. First crit, PS0, and i was facing guri with autos. Never got her in arc again because she just rolled away since she moved last.

From a game design perspective I wonder what ffg thought they were doing to make the yt1300 viable again in general AND then in the face of Ren who is almost tailor-made to screw them over (highest value ships you could possibly cripple with pilot crits)

But from a perspective that HATES how the yt1309 and vt49 are represented in this game, Kylo is just sweet petty (and massively delayed) revenge :)

Still hope for the T70, though, even if Ren makes PS 9 Poe more superfluous than he already is :P

tbh im hoping the low PS falcons are decently priced.

I want to run double falcons because DOUBLE FALCONS. Unfortuantely you simply cant do it right now because Lando blows goats and Han/Chewie are too expensive and terrible bare-boned and feth that terrible as gak generic.

It's going through the usual FFG development cycle, that's what's happened to it.

With the Smuggling Compartments and the Slicer, I cannot wait to run two YT-2400s. A Typical Super Dash (or Leebo), and an Eaden Vrill blocker/ace hunter. Eaden + Smuggling Compartments + Black Market Slicer + Experimental Interface + Intel Agent + some sort of cannon, I am not sure which one though. HLC if I run Leebo instead of Dash.

It will be a great ace hunter combo. Eaden deals with (and most likely dies) fighting and blocking the aces, while Dash takes out the support. Then Dash cleans up what is left. It can be a fairly hard counter to things like Dengaroo. You would still be at a disadvantage at the triple Jumpmasters though.

With Kylo soon entering, Leebo may become an option.

Hmm, SLAM on a TIE Fighter...;

Not really a great use of the illicit imo but it would be funny.

5FWD into a slam 5FWD. You just basically moved 11 distance (basehop) in 1 turn lol.

Think i'd rather cloaking though. Might get more uses out of rather than a fixated one use, even if it does take 2 turns to do.

Also...curious...SLAM lets you do a different maneuver of the same speed...technically a 4K is the same speed of a 4FWD...the Kwing doesnt have any reds so that could be a good way to set up for next turn (4fwd, 4k, cant shoot. next turn, do green to clear stress, youre still WAY behind the enemy for perfect approach).

SLAM card doesnt mention red maneuvers. Hmm....

Good use of it, not really. Fun as hell, oh yeah!

... Y'all remember how long the Raider took, right?

Mid-wave releases have a habit of being less dependable in release schedule at the best of times.

Yeah, remember how long it took for the Gunboat!

Oh...wait. Yeah...

I'm pretty sure the SLAM Illicit will be Large Ship Only, though.

I fully endorse this product and although I am almost peeved at the delay, it does give my wallet a slight breather. This means I can buy the new 40k Deathwatch Codex, get the couple of expansions I am missing from Conquest and have enough pennies saved for my shiny new Millennium Falcon and Poe's spess fighter

Cheers
