The last unique ship the rebels got with 3 green was the E-wing. How did that work out for ya?

of course they just got the TIE, so what are you complaining about?

Biggs is five letters..

"... BEE-EYE-GEE-GEE-ESS...

AND BIGGS-Y WAS HIS NAME-O...."

Looking at the Lego set, I HOPE that this bomber is similar to the Ghost (vcx) in terms of scale. While quite big, I don't think that it is quite epic scale, but if it were, it will be at 1:270 as opposed to any scaling issues.

If not epic, I suspect that it will have a secondary arc, and at least one crew slot - for a choice of either Bombadier or Tail Gunner.

Here's a shot from a different angle. Obviously LEGO is not "to scale" but the ball turrets definitely aren't that super huge. It looks like it could very easily fit into XWM as a Large-base ship.

I'd guess minimum [Tech][Crew][Torp][Bomb], probably doubling up on either torps or bombs. Also could easily squeeze in 2 crew. Maybe double tech to put it on par with the upsilon. 3 ATK, 0-1 AGI, some number of hull and shields which is significant. Probably just Focus+TL?

I'd almost bank on these things being epic scale based on the two images above. Of course I could be wrong, but based on the F/O in the first shot and T-70 in the second, it leaves little doubt in my mind that these are roughly the same size as the front half of a nebulon B.

While those do obviously look thicker and bigger than the lego models, I will say all we have so far are quick shots in a trailer - which does have them staggered in a line, we don't necessarily have solid perspective on them. We all said "well, those might be epic" when the trailer hit, and how here's a different perspective that makes people re-think that idea. If they were so massive, why would the LEGO scale provide mini-figures? A Nebulon-B's listed stats is 300 meters in length and over 900 crewman - so something maybe 1/2 their size would not be crewed by like 5 guys.

Nah, definitely not Epic. They're nowhere near as big as a Neb-B. I just think that trailer shot might have some scale issues in that particular shot(possible optical illusion).

They'd fit on a large base, maybe a bit on the big side but they would fit.

This beast is loaded. Turrets, gunners everywhere.

Fore/Aft special firing arc. One attack from each arc per round. Slap on Reinforce action, wth.

Yeah, if you frame-by-frame through that scene in the trailer, you hit one where a TIE/fo flies right behind the front ship, and you can clearly see its wing panels above *and* below the head of it. IE., the round 'main body' of the thing is about as tall as a TIE/fo.

So... very big ...but probably still something that could fit in the regular game scale.

That would make it roughly comparable to the Gozanti, though, in terms of fuselage height. Dorsal appendage aside, that puts it probably somewhere between the width and length of the of the two "small" epic ships.

The LEGO Star Destroyer came with only 6 minifigs... and 2 of them are useless cannon fodder who couldn't hit the side of a barn!

Nice! I am rather digging this thing.

Quick question. Why not two bomb slots? Also, where is the Tech slot?

The gunners, at least based on the Lego, could very well be represented by an auxillary fire arc rather than turrets.

Based on what we have seen, which is from several seconds in a trailer and a Lego set, granted, but there is no evidence to suggest it even has torpedoes.

Auxiliary firing arcs? Interesting... That would go well with a Reinforcement Action. And indeed, it's missing the Tech slot.

Yeah, I think I can go with some sort of "mini" Epic (remove 1 turret and 1 torpedo, add 1 bomb and 1 tech, auxiliary firing arcs and Reinforcement action). The dial should be abysmal, but it's a weapons platform.

That's a place-holder text. The ship is not the StarHawk, apparently.

There is additional info out there on the net that says torps/bombs. That's why everyone keeps insisting without showing evidence.

Also torp bombers are kind of a Rebel thing. Or should be anyway.
