Pictures of new factions

By MaxPower, in X-Wing

Huh. Interesting. It's never been recorded as Anakin having had a Delta-7 of any kind, except the Delta-7B.

Its biggest key difference is the raised central section and of course, its actual astromech mount, as opposed to the Delta-7's halfstromech.

Very goram strange. What's even stranger is that they're using Anakin's Delta-7B's paintjob as the base model. I find that very peculiar, not using the classic Delta-7 for a clearly Delta-7 model, and I really wonder how in the world they can explain this minor difference.

**** I'm barely convinced Anakin would deign to own an original Delta-7. No Artoo, no go.

...Huh. Don't know if I'm going to set off anything with this, but my impulse response on seeing both these pictures: "Those are really cool looking Star Trek ships!" ; )

Gotta start both of these factions don't I?

I’m hoping they’ll do Anakin’s style with a Prequel core set and then Obi Wan style with the Delta-7 expansion. We’ll see ?

Now that, that would make sense.

Sorry, have to ask, because I must have missed a lot here.

Is this real or a joke? Are there going to be more factions in 2.0, such as the old republic of episodes 1-3 ?

You're actually kidding, right?

Like, you're doubting another source? The Star Wars site itself?

A couple weeks after they were announced at Gencon?

After multiple tweets by FFG themselves?

No, hold up, hooooooooooooold up, pleeeeease explain to me, WHY this would be a joke? They've split the FO and Resistance from The Rebellion and Empire, because they're in another era / are entirely different factions- so the precedent for new factions altogether is there... So hit me.

No, I have actually missed all this.

Guess I am not reading the news here all that often :)

I only know 5 factions so far... First Order, Imperium, Rebels Alliance, Resitance, Scum

Can somebody please tell me the (approved) new ones?

Thanks, have already found them in the article.

He a straighter snob, likes the older model because of the .2% better acceleration and more ergonomic cup holders.

In all seriousness, they used Luke's Red 5 paint job for the T-65 in the starter, so it's possible they didn't want to make the minor differentiation between the 2 ships and wanted to use the scheme of an iconic character.

Well FFG needs to get more colored bases. Now that we got light blue and orange great I am going to have to redo my base faction color list.

  • Rebel Alliance Red
  • Galactic Empire Green
  • Scum & Villainy Orange Yellow?
  • 1st Order Purple
  • Resistance Blue ?
  • Galactic Republic Blue? (or should it be clear?)
  • Confederacy of Independent Systems Orange

Yeah 2.0 is kind of a mess.

Res and FO are the same colour as Rebel and Imp respectively IIRC.

Res is Orange and FO is dark red

Well it's not just paint, it's structural too.

Ew. What yellow? And not red?

The Delta 7 is supposed to be Anakin's as is readable from the base. That is the color scheme he used.

So you consider both Resistance and First Order 'good guys'? :D

So is this the "Obi Wan Did Nothing Wrong" base? Because it identifies Anakin Skywalker as unique and it's a different name from Darth Vader and so totally a different pilot...from a certain point of view...

Oh.

Anakin never used one like this.

Not with an integrated astromech side mount. He did use a later version of the Aethersprite with the astromech partially blocking his forwards view though. :) Still, it is who they say the pilot is and those are his preferred colors....
