Plus one Hull. White Barrel Roll. Speed 2 Tallon Rolls. Three Modification slots.

Am I still going to be able to fly my signature list in 2nd Edition?

Possibly? We have no idea how their cost may change based upon these differences between 1.0 & 2.0.

your list is now super op because they got +1 hull and barrel-roll while tie fighters got nothing

or something like that, going by the reaction to X-wings

wish I had an actual answer, but until point costs come out there's no way of knowing how many Ks or Xs you'll actually get to fly at 200 points in 2.0

My guess is you'll still e able to run 5 since you get 3 conversion in the kit.

As long as I can run some variety of 5 ship Hutt Cartel build, I'll be happy. Currently in 1st I have the five Marauders, 3 Marauders and 2 Mangler Spacers or 2 Marauders, 2 Ion Spacers and a Brute.

Good to see them get another buff, but I'll be biting my fingernails until the points are made public.

I just hope with all my heart that 5xs mangler M3a's work. 5x Cartel Marauders was fun, but 5x M3a's quickly replaced it for me and once they got that 1hp boost it was pure magic.

Please oh please let me fit 5x m3a's with manglers (assuming manglers are as good as they were in 1.0)

I really doubt it. 5 of those seems like it would be pretty brutal comparing them to everything else we have seen so far in 2.0.

I'm thinking its the same for the X-wing. Its a lot better in 2.0 and everything that was oppressive is way worse. If you want to fly 5 X-wings in a list, you probably only got a few months.

plot twist

you have to buy two conversion kits because you get to run SIX. CARTEL. MARAUDERS.

scum bias etc.

I do own 6. The question will just be if it's still possible to run. In 1e, spacers are 16 points with the heavy title, so it's possible you'll be able run 6 if you don't have almost any upgrades in the list...

So it comes down to X-Wings...

Will they be keeping their dropped price in 2.0?

If yes, will other ships follow?


If you can bring 5 X-Wings, 5 interceptors look really rubbish. or 5 Strikers.

I'm really curious how would they make numbers the Empire's strength. Will we be able to take 6 interceptors?

Or maybe X-Wings will become more expensive. Who knows really?

have to imagine 4 x-wings

conspiracy theory is Saw's + conversion kit + core set = 4 X-wings

no real way to confirm though. only thing we know is Jek + Y + two-tubes + two-tubes too is a thing

The two tubes bros look like fun. To quote Alex Davy himself (Team Covenant Video) "It's four more tubes than you can handle"

That’s “the tutu bros”

Having all 3 factions, but having 6 Kihraxzes as well, and 6 Scyks. You know I like repainting

Now they really can reposition (BR, t-roll), however loosing the 5K (hurts Talonbane), and the alternative K-turns.

Upgrading of both the Scyk and the Kihraxz dial in quite different directions however, means they are far more difficult to field together. I really like mixing 1.0 Kihraxzes (BSA, Viktor!) and some Scyks (Mangler, Ion, Sunny!)

My guess is that the catchphrase is now going to be: FOUR. BLACK SUN. ACES.

Explanation: With the emphasis on de-power creep and how much better the kizhrax got, i'm pretty certain you won't be able to fit 5 into the list. And if you're going to fly 4, you may as well fly better generic.

(for context)

It ain't Four Black Sun Aces, it's FIVE. CARTEL. MARAUDERS! Five's the magic number here!
