4 packs rogues and villains

and this isn't adding in all the shapeways ships I have.

The addiction is strong with this one

Imperials:

2 ISDs

4 Victories

4 Gladiators

4 Light Cruisers

8 Raiders

2 fighter 1 packs

2 fighter 2 packs

and of course 4 rogues and villains

The addiction is really strong with this one (plus lack of other games I play :blink: )

Chimaera will be no 4 for me. Still too few for a proper Endor fleet...

For me it depends on how many 7th fleet titles are in the pack. If it's 2, I'll have to get another.

That's 30 Star Destroyers plus :huh:

And an ssd. Who do you think will come first? At-At for Legion? Or SSD for Armada?

Im upset that there are only two copies of the generic titles in not packs! A bit upset by the lack of an old SD plate in the chimera as well. Oh well!

Considering that they include 3 pairs of ship cards it is indeed unfortunate.

At this point I can't see getting a second. I have 2 already and the only card I can think of really wanting 2 of is Hardened Bulkheads in a really aggressive fleet. I just don't think I'll have much desire to play the 7th fleet titles and while there could be a niche list or two that would need more than 2 Guantlets I just can't see justifying the expense.

And the gauntlet fighters will almost definitely be coming in the next squadrons pack

Here are the cards, that come in singles in the Chimaera pack, that I want more than 1:

  • Hardened Bulkheads
  • 7th Fleet (I want more than 2)
  • 4 more Mandalorian Squads -_-

Not bad. It's the cards in the Profundity that have me a bit miffed. They should have included more of these in each pack. Even buying 2 Profundity packs, I want more of these cards:

  • Heavy Ion Emplacements
  • Wide-Area Barrage
  • Ordnance Pods

Confirmed in another thread that you get two of each non unique upgrade in the Chimaera Box.

2x Hardened Bulkheads

2x Early Warning

2x 7th Fleet

You sure on Hardened Bulkheads?

I watched @Crabbok open the Chimaera pack and saw with my own two (foggy) eyes that he had 1 Hardened Bulkheads. I'm an old geezer with bad eyesight so i may have missed 2 Hardened Bulkheads?

Only getting one myself (unless I really like those mandalorians) but I'm glad for everybody who's getting two for trading purposes. Two Seventh Fleet titles feels entirely insufficient to make the card worthwhile but since this will be my 4th ISD as it is I can't imagine buying a second Chimaera.

Who isn't buying two Chimeras so you can run a 4 ISD Corellian Campaign?

Those who (like me) already have 3 ISDs

Let's do some reflection here: If you can afford 6 ISD models. AND that makes you happy (you actually found something that does make you happy, congrats), you're pretty lucky. I bet 6 ISDs looks awesome. How about we see some mass ISD pics when the Chimaera arrives.

Let's see if anyone has Endor fleet yet.

I'll have 3. That's the most I'll ever need in 400 points, likely even in 500 its and to support another side.

3 is a good number. That's a typical detachment I think. 3 ISDs is a fleet.

3 ISDs are not a fleet when you can field 4.

Well the chimera will increase my imperial fleet to 9 ISD, which seems a decent number three full squadrons. I will get two profundities as well.

I purchased the dreadnaught seen on The Last Jedi....a really huge model". So my Imperial fleet is about 5000 -8000 points :)

Except you CANT field 4 in 400 standard play. And hey I understand you can make larger fleets. But 400 is the universal agreed standard when meeting new people aite?

@Wraithdt said in another thread that there were two of each non-unique upgrade, including Hardened Bulkheads.

If anything, when you buy 2, open one up to confirm just incase you decide to return the other.

I can. I play with Vader.

You can fit 4 ISDs and Vader in 400 points?

I know I'll end up wanting more than 2 Gauntlets...

... dammit.

That's almost the entire reason I want 2 Chimeras....I do thoroughly like a set of 3+Gar....I'm not sure if I want to get it, and offload the model+most cards for cheap, or just keep it and have a 4 ISD CC fleet....
