Happy Friday you wonderful people and happy weekend.
Question for this week is.....
With So much goodness on the way what are you most excited about out of Wave 11 and the Aces box?
Happy Friday
Wave 11...potentially being able to fly my punisher without people saying I could fly a bomber the same way for cheaper (depending on what bomblet genenerator and mine[laying?] map[maker?] do)
guns 4 hire, flying my starviper all over the board with cloaking device, star viper MKII, and advanced sensors
The STAR VIPER or maybe the Kyrszcaxkn...um... fighter. Seriously, not a scum player. Not interested in much of wave 11 either but that epic ship and new Scyk has caught my eye.

That is a valid feeling. I just get excited about anything new a shiny.

I really am going to love another Tie but the Bomber makes me happy for HOTC.

Yep. New ships are a good thing, even if they don't fit my personal preferences.

The first thing I'm doing is trying out Intensity BB-8 Wedge.
The other thing I'm excited for is I've been loving using Deathfire competitively (got my first tournament win with him and Vessery and Backdraft the other weekend, albeit only 6 people attending), so I'm interested in the bomb options in the Havoc expansion (although I'm expecting them to give more to Deathrain than Deathfire).
Well it is still Thursday here. Anyways I was looking for a Nerf Biggs thread (because that was the list that won worlds) for this edit of a Dave the Direman comic I did.
Poor guy, it would be an act of mercy
Anyways here is the link to the original.
Superb upcoming release schedule for me personally, with Guns for Hire looking as good as it is, I'll soon be investing in a Most Wanted pack plus a Starviper. (Autothrusters finally!).
Couple this with the fact the Scum bomber is dual faction and I'm all set.
Can't wait to welcome our new Wookiee overlords.
HFCB!
Looking forward to picking up the C-ROC, then it'll be a long wait for Guns For Hire. The Scurrg may be a purchase, but that will be about it for Wave 11 for me.
Happy Friday!
It's a great day! It's both my kids' last day of school. My daughter graduates tomorrow from High School and is going off to university in August right before GenCon. In fact, if she wasn't in marching band, I would have to not attend GenCon! I also am finishing up a crap ton of yard work. I moved a literal ton of rocks and an insanely huge pile of mulch this past week...and it's done.
As for gaming, I got to play HotAC last night. It was the one where the HWK has to slice the signal. We had a new guy show up last night and we didn't have any slots for him, but he rolled the dice. Well....he rolled INSANE!!!! J-bot and I were shot down. We got to the very end and almost got away, but the dang Imperial rolled all hits all the time and the HWK blew up. Half of everyone left and the rest of us started again with just 3 players. Much more manageable and we finished the mission without losing anyone (though Punisher Jason was down to 2 Hull). I got enough XP to jump to PS 5 and pick up PTL!!! Now, I've got BB-8 for free BR and the PTL for Focus....and then Predator for dice mod! Maybe I should drop Shield Upgrade for Engine Upgrade? I dunno....I keep getting shot down.
Which thing out of CROC, Wave 11, and the Aces am I most excited about?!?!?! There are just too many things....I have no idea.
Happy Friday,

Another good point for you - a sign of how much your ankle has improved!
Very excited for the Scurg. I like the idea of it being cross faction. (and it gives me hope for punishers)
Also I will buy exactly 1 Tie Aggressor, for the TLT and Intensity lol.
Scum aces is cool, I might buy that.
Not buying the stupid Wookiee gunship. #protestReinforceNotBeingOnBWings
Happy Friday, Cubanboy and chill forum friends!
It has been a pretty decent week of X-Wing for me. Had MotAC on Wednesday, and we ran the Capture the Officer mission. Twice. Lost the first run pretty quickly - six players is a lot of extra shields on the shuttle, and our cold dice just couldn't keep up. Second run-through had the shuttle immobilized on turn three, but we had a ton of trouble killing any TIEs. Between the two runs we faced something like 20 TIEs? And I managed to kill two. But I only had one shot on me in four and a half hours!
Yesterday, I proxied the new StarViper and Kihraxz titles against a triple T70 list.... Oh, those are going to be fun. So there is my answer to your question: Guns for Hire is going to be the top of my wishlist for a while! The Scurrg looks good, and I was going to pick up the C-ROC last night (except my FLGS didn't get theirs; sad face) because I love those little Scyks. But that StarViper Mk.II is such a giggle!
1. StarViper title -- my favourite Scum ship fixed
2. Intensity -- for Poe, maybe Guri
3. New StarViper model -- it'll fly faster
4. TIE Aggressor -- already cooked up several lists. Great upgrades
5. New Kihraxz model -- love the Black Sun scheme
6. Scurrg bomber, depending on previews -- with a limited collection, a dual-faction ship might be just the ticket to help my lists

Picked up the C-ROC last night. Nice, nice model with a long ton of upgrades!
Also played the worst game of X-wing last night, for my opponent. I flew BXXZZZ, all PS 2 vs Vader, Whisper and a forgotten TIE FO all at PS9. Whisper died from a R2-3 attack while cloaked, Vader lasted 2 rounds of combat and the FO just died. My losses were... one shield and one hull from ISYTDS. My friend and I can normally laugh off bad dice rolls but last night was BEYOND horrible.
As for the New Stuff, I'm exited by it all. My wallet isn't but I am. More fodder for the game table.
Have a good weekend!
Pumped for rebel scurg! Hope it pairs well with my ReyRey
My Friday just improved. Hard day at work punctuated by a green light to purchase the C-ROC. It's sitting happily on the table now.
Happy Friday! I went to the FLGS to just look and touch the new release. When the wife entered she noticed the 24 year birthday of the store on a leaflet taped to the door. To celebrate they are giving a 20% off everything in the store this week. So with their 10% reduction of MSRP that they normally have ($65) then the 20% discount, then the credit I had earned with spending almost $400 dollars there in the last year. My wife spent the $31 with tax to get me an early father's day gift. Plus really looking forward to wave 11, but importantly the Scurrg!
Happy saturday morning! My friday was happy. Finally had some leftover money and bought myself Imperial Aces and my collection is now only five expansions short of complete. Also tourney on sunday and my list feels good.
Edit: All of the upcoming expansions have something that i must have. Intensity card and Kihraxz fix are on the top of my list.
