Acrylic objective tokens, alt art TIE Bombers, Assault Proton Torpedoes.

Neat as hell.

That is neat as hell.

And I'm a Rebel Player.

Nice art.

Is that an MC80 or Rebel Transport going down in flames?

Ok, super cool! Man I hope I make it to a Q3 tournament. Infants have a way of preventing you from playing Armada, and I missed Q1 and 2.

Pretty confident it's an MC30.

Somebody forgot to equip the Admonition title.

APTS:

Primarily Equipped by Imperial Ships.

All of their Art shows Imperial Ships being Blown up by them...

Making up for giving us rapid reload I see. Nice.

Primarily equipped by Imperial ships? When did Dodonna go Imp on us?

Yeah I mean for what it's worth I'm happy to throw them on my Gladiators but most of the memorable APT uses in games are with Dodonna MC30s. Gah. Just a big ol' NOPE to that, thanks.

Imperial: You saw it on Vics, Raiders and Gladiators. 3 Ships.

Rebel: You saw it on MC30s. 1 Ship.

3 > 1.

Primarily Equipped on Imperial Ships.

QED.

Because even philosophers like being able to say " *itch, PLEASE.. ."

:D

Based on my understanding of the wave 5 meta and the people who post on this forum, Vic's and Raiders are both terrible and unused and have never seen play in any game by anyone ever. Having done no research, I assume wave 6 changes nothing here.

I changed my mind, looking at the zoomed-in version. It's an MC80. The thrusters in the very back are the give-away.

VSDs, really? That's... odd. Raiders I'll give you in some circumstances, but man I came to love those Flechette Torpedoes by the end of wave 5.

I mean for what it's worth, nowadays it's back to 1 and 1. Those Raiders (non-Screed) and VSDs are hopping aboard the External Racks bandwagon! Wooo!

Yep, looking forward, its a whole new meta that I look forward to seeing unfolding...

Now I just need to get 8 Hammerhead Corvettes and run Long range Sato Shenanigans.

( I tried it in a CC Campaign with MC30s, and it was okay , but it lacked repeatability... Now with Hammerheads, 4x the Ships aughta do it...)

Hm. Cool. Looking forward to these

Ain't that the truth... The stories I have in that regard...

This kit looks fantastic. Having missed out on the Q1 and Q2 kit due to work and lack of local support, I'll have to put some effort into travelling for this one. I'm a big user of APTs anyway, and those Bomber alt arts look the business.

Oh YESSSSS!!! APT hurray. I have to run at least 6 of tournaments with this kit! My raiders will return with screed on board!

APTs are great. Glad to see those.

Love those arts, also for my most beloved Imperial fighter <3

Can't wait to hit up a Q3. I always love the fighter AA's.
