Lol

Day-old news and no dial or generics.

Anyone spotted the deliberate mistake yet?

Debris Gambit? What kind of a name is that?

Why would there be? We know everything in the pack

Although it's technically a small-base ship, the TIE silencer is too long and large a miniature to fit in a standard small-base ship's packaging. And just as it's too large to be contained by standard, small-base plastic, it's too impactful a ship to be contained by standard enemy forces.

At least they claim what we've been saying for months now to really be the case. The price is fine for the model size we get.

Of course not if we know literally everything from the leak :P

T-70 is so tiny compared to it lol

What is even happening in that Blackout shooting at T70 picture??? All green dice????

I found another flaw in the article! Cookies for me!

EDITED: No cookies, jumped the gun, thought it was Trickshot Blackout and the dice was supposed to be red for Blackout.

It’s just comparing how many dice they’ll roll when they defend

They are showing the green dice each ship will get in the shooting exchange.

edit-ninja'd

I hope they have Advanced Sensors, otherwise they are eating that rock next turn.

Ah my bad, I initially thought they put Trick Shot on that and Blackout's dice was supposed to be red.

Model... SO FREAKING BIG

Can FFG just not put big models on big bases, for once. I'd not be surprised to find this being longer than a large base.

Given its stupid size, in relation to the X wing, it should have a crew slot.

If the A wing s an old sporty Triumph in size, the X Wing a sporty Ford Escort, this thing is a Hummer. With more agility and manouvrebility than a motorbike...

Cool for Kylo. Cool for the game. But dumb in reality... (Like a lot of starwars, really).

I love the EPT though, and plan on giving it to Wedge to use... Asteroid placement ain't that difficult and I only play casual.

I'm so casual an X-Wing player that I'm buying this expansion just for the artwork on Debris Gambit.

You guys can't complain both about model size and wrong scale. Not saying you do right now, but it's happening all the time.

Besides, have you ever compared modern fighter sizes? A F18A, Rafale, Eurofighter, F35 or F16 is tiny compared to a Su27 or F22 or F18E or the chinese J20

Their example has it kitted out for 45 points. Not sure I'd want a non-regen ship with only one attack taking up almost half the squad points. Also, it contains a lot of situational upgrades on board. I don't doubt some vassal nerd will find something broken about this ship, but for now it's just meh. Soontir is still way cheaper and will be more nimble.

Different people. And I'm not complaining. Although I say it is a Hummer with the agility of a motorbike, flight agility in a vacuum would be unaffected by shape or size. Thrust variation and power, relative to mass, would be key.

It is big though. It should have a crew slot...

Edited by Larky Bobble

Also, if they put a fighter (which despite the size is what this is) on a big base, it would fly in-game TOTALLY different to a fighter, and sort of ruin the thing it does best lol

And size of ship =/= crew slot.

I'm not complaining about scale at all. I'm fairly happy with a sliding scale.

I'm complaining that in practice actually getting this thing in the right places in bumps etc is going to be a PITA, and it's going to be more than a little unbalanced.

Plus I'd like to see the Empire get another GOOD big base ship.

Did you actually read the article? The dial is there...

Edited by PoorGreedo

It wasn't when I read it, it's been added since. Which is cool and good.

In real life big warplanes are not less maneuverable then smaller ones. Look at Su-27 or Su-35. They are one of the biggest modern fighters and they are maneuverable as ****.
