Chimaera Expansion - Most bang for your buck set

By Wraithdt, in Star Wars: Armada

Am I alone in thinking it would have been nicer to have had 2 x Kuat/Cymoon bases & 1 IDS-1/2 base?

I mean I will (when the wallet allows) pick up a copy of the Chimaera to go with my normal ISD, but although I can run 2 Kuat /Cymoon's I can only run one ISD1 unless I pick up a 2nd ISD expansion which I dont want to do due to finances...

No thanks. Already got two isd so this kit is perfect.

Slightly sad about only single ions, wide area and ordnance pods in profanity but will manage somehow! I can already half justify a double mc75 build in my head.

would it have been better to have been 3 kyat/cymoon & 1 ID1/2 then?

It's been mentioned in another thread, but are you (@Wraithdt) sure there are 2 Hardened Bulkheads cards? I recall @Crabbok's video having shown only 1?

@Wraithdt, @Crabbok

Three bases as in 3 plastic stands or just the cardboard?

Yes, I’m absolutely sure its 2 copies. Its part of the reason why I posted this thread because I also recalled seeing only 1 copy of Hardened Bulkheads in Crabboks review.

And what about the 2nd Commander in the box? ;)

Paging @Ardaedhel.

I will eat an ISD if Krennic is an imperial commander in Wave 7.

No no. It's gingerbread rather than sponge cake.

Cardboard only, I'd imagine. It would be weird for one model to come with 3 stands. The extra cardboard is meant for the 2 ISDs FFG assumes you already have or might soon acquire. This is so that you don't have to buy 3 Chimeras to fly 3 Cymoons.

Fantastic art Wraithdt!

A very good move on their part. I know their business model is "you want this card, buy this model", but I'm still annoyed that the only way to get a lot of cards is to buy a model you don't need or want (Flight Controllers). Giving us 3!, not just 1 or 2, is a huge player-friendly move on their part. They could have gotten away with 2 and probably sold a few more Chimeras.

Same with their move of putting multiple copies of upgrades in packs in the recent waves. Lots of good will generated by that.

If you're playing casual, just proxy. A printed pic of a card inside a sleeve is nearly indistinguishable from the real deal.
