Thrawn confirmed

By Hockeyzombie, in Star Wars: Armada

I love both expansions! So glad Profundity is a large base.

Sweet

MC75 is a large base!

There's an unspoiled Defensive Retrofit, do we finally get to use the 5 & 6 on the shield dials (which have been there since the beginning and this is wave seven?!!!)!!

But also, a fifth defense token in the ISD splash. Could the raider be finally getting a redirect???

Is Vader 3 points to discard an enemy officer?

The Chimaera is pretty much an auto-purchase, for me, and comes with enough ship cards to match my current allotment of Star Destroyers with the new refits if I want to use only those and ignore the original configurations. The inclusion of 2 squadrons as well for the same cost as the original ISD expansion just increases the Awesome Quotient of the set.

For what he does, Thrawn is also very well priced, I think. I expect the Grand Admiral to see A LOT of play.

First off, looks great and am super excited for this. Loving both expansions and the effects the commanders have as well as two new variants for ISDs, better yet they have three copies of each so I don't need to buy another one. Though hate to be that guy we are still missing 20 and now are skipping 28 so...does this count as the something big coming to armada? My guess as to why this wasn't at Gencon is just that they didn't have the models arrive on time or they weren't painted or something.

SWM28 is the Eclipse, duh.

6 ship cards so you can use old models and new squadrons in a ship expansion.

Who are thee and what have you done with FFG?

Wooo hoooo!

Take my money now FFG!

This will b the first imperial ship i dont repaint (maybe, depends if i can mask off that those sweet graphics)

my thrawn hoody arrived yesterday in time for nationals... it was an omen.

Interesting break with X-Wing- we are getting an "Aces pack" as part of a wave.

Oh my God, Thrawn. There are so many possibilities if you use that ability correctly. Raddus will be harder to use because of the activation loss, but I always want to play Hyperspace Assault and with Raddus I can always play Hyperspace Assault. The new ISDs are also very exciting. A friend of mine has been saying he wants the Empire to get a true "battleship"--low squadron value on a strong brawler, like the Liberty. This wave is basically everything he asked for. Fleet Command seems very fitting on a big beast like the ISD, and dual turbolasers is something I've been wanting on an Imperial ship ever since I saw them on the MC80.

Note that they share the icon with the old ISD, so you can also use the titles.

It's screaming for Vader

Might also get something for the turbolaser slot. But Vader would definitely be a strong option.

admiral thrawn and admiral prawn

Also, is that another admiral card at the very end of the ISD splash? Behind Thrawn?

I'm going to wear out that Raddus card, I assure you.

I noticed that, Piett? Maybe Captain Piett before we get Admiral with the inevitable SSD release?

Sovereign title, that card next to sovereign is intriguing, at least one new fleet command upgrade, and that's just in the imperial stuff!

MC-75 looks fun, and Raddus + Profundity + Rapid Launch Bays = deep strike in Armada ?

He is three points to kill an Officer, yes. Dark Lord's not here to play games. He's Hallway Monitor Heavyweight Champion for a reason.

Wow...these look to be simply awesome expansion packs for both factions. This is the most exciting wave I think I've seen yet. Thrawn will just be a lot of fun to play, and Raddus...well..I believe I've made my comments known already.

holy crap

I DON'T EVEN PLAY THIS GAME AND I CAN'T CONTAIN MY HYPE! THRAWN!!!

.... is his ability good? I legit don't know how to play, I'm just always happy to see Thrawn.

Also, is that "Captain Sloane"?

Noticing a few other unique officers for the Star Destroyer pack including Governor Price and other Rebels characters too.
