Specifically the larger ships. Ghost, Shadowcaster, Decimator, and the Lambdas are the real stars of these packs. The level of detail seems much better than all previous squadrons.
I have videos coming up now. Here's the rebel version. Rest of Wave 5 can be found on my channel if you wanna check em out.
Thanks for the video
How many fighters do you get? One of each?
Such a rip off price for that little plastic and card

Some of the art I've seen of the models shows 2x of ea.
Edit: yup, confirmed 2.
Edited by HEROHera, Hera, Hera all day. She will be the Empire's thorn in the soft spots for some time. But she is expensive and you will need to protect her for her investment. X-Wings and Jan will be almost an auto include with her.

Ok good. Rogues and Villians was such a disappointment in terms of quantity.

Two of Each.
Two of Each.
It has been stated, from the start - 8 squadrons, 2 of Each...

I don't get that, either... Rogues and Villains was 8 Items...
Standard Rebel / Imperial Box, 8 Items...
Standard Rebel II / Imperial II Box, 8 Items...
Every squadron box has had 8 items... Its just that R&V was "Co-ed" of sorts with the Faction.

They do look sharp, can't wait to get painting them (Imperial Assault painting will have to go on hold).
Ghost looks awesome, but my 2 unfortunately seem to have a rather sloppy cast sprue rip on the front left sides (one eating into the line of the ship), a shame, but hope I can smooth them out.
I got 7 E wings, some poor bastard only got 5 
The "larger" fighters are pretty good like the shadow caster and ghost. The smaller ones are about the same. Not sure how one paints these with this level of detail other than very carefully.
We have Ways.

It was eight squadrons like you got in the other fighter packs.
Rogues only gave 1 of each because it was both sides. Same number of ships but more different kinds of ships. Which i hope they dont do again.
Im not a fan of the Shadowcaster at all. It...feels squishy as hell for what it does.
Zs especially with Blount around are going to be a pain in the ass but you need like 6+ to make that worth it
i cant wait to abuse Ewings. Shocking, my most hated Rebel ship in Xwing is my most anticipated Armada squad lol
Can't wait to get my hands on everything tomorrow from my flgs. First thing I'm doing after unwrapping is to cover to cover CC.

The price is reasonable.
They didn't expect players to run 5 Slave One spam lists and expected players to bring only one or two R/V ships. They Way underestimated the tendency to run spam lists.I don't get that, either... Rogues and Villains was 8 Items...
Standard Rebel / Imperial Box, 8 Items...
Standard Rebel II / Imperial II Box, 8 Items...

Well they actually did expect you to run 5 Firesprays. When the spoiler article came out they actually SUGGESTED that people run 5 firesprays and several of us were like "Ha ha yeah RIGHT!... Like I'm gonna buy 5x of that expansion!!!"....
Here I am the fool with 5 Firesprays on my shelf.
Rogue.
If that rule didnt exist, i dont think the 5 Firesprays list would be a thing. Theyre pretty mean even without it but not AS mean because then theyre eating Squadron Command Dials to approach and reposition after killing something. Even if there was a maximum of 2 standalone model Squadrons, people would just bring the other Rogues instead of a bunch of the same one.
Which is also why i think Hera is going to show up in a ton of lists.....
Thanks for sharing this! I am watching the CC unboxing now, and I just saw the token that makes it worth it. Everything else is icing on the cake.
A black 10 ship ID token.

Z-95's, Blount and Dagger Squadron should make for a very effective picket line 
So are you getting 10 Rebel Squadron II packs then?
Edited by Marinealveroh yeah, Z swarm if you wanna buy the packs will be a dangerball. I imagine the only reason theyre not using blue dice is to avoid support from Toryn for yet another reroll. Which it kinda offsets that because red dice can doubledamage squadrons, blues cant so....actually i take that back i dont know why they have red dice lol
I wish i could find a use for more than a pair of the other ships. Ewings i feel REALLY need Squadron Activations or Rogue to be good, which pretty much means 2 following around Hera would be awesome. If the VCX had Relay2 you could use them to have a deathball flanking, but Relay 1 really doesnt do much unless you think you can do that with JUST VCX's, as they can activate themselves with relay.
Lancer, unless i just dont see it, are pathetic.

The Lancer is a Rebel Firespray.
Little Faster, little more Fragile.
3x Z-95s and Blount will be an auto-include in rebel lists from now on. Ghost and 2x X-wings will also be a very strong contender.
I think that the Rebels got the long straw with the squadron packs. I am failing to see the point behind the Imperial cloaking TIEs, and TIE defenders are too expensive.
