None.

Diminishing returns. The more ships you have, the less playtime the individual models get.

I already have too many. Having (reluctantly) converted all 3 OT factions, there are soo many ships and squadrons I haven't had the chance to test in their 2.0 iteration. I might buy some later second hand from people getting out, but I will absolutely pass right now.

One of each. Only twice.

Probably at least one of each of the Republic expansions. I'd also buy into the CIS, but right now I'm imposing a 3 faction limit to save money (my others are Resistance and FO). But maybe later down the line I'll pick em up.

1 z95

1 maybe 2 TIE strikers

Only into the 3 factions already out, and don't mind the wait between waves.

This, for the Republic at least. Though whether I buy a 4th aethersprite (Beyond 2 Obi-Wan and 1 Anakin paintjob/s) will largely depend on points. Secondarily, I might end up wanting to paint several of them for individual Jedi at some point ?

I’ll probably just start with one or two 3-in-1 kit(s) for the CIS, as I’m definitely interested in Vulture swarms if nothing else there. I like Maul and Dooku, but they’re a pass until quite a bit later, unless I happen upon quite a bit of money at just he right time.

I already have four Z-95s for my Scum fleet, and don't want either of the new factions (not because I have a problem with them, I just am focusing on only Scum and Imperial Navy). So I'll probably pick up a TIE Striker, but nothing else.

None (at the moment). I'm waiting on getting First Order stuff.

im not buying any of the new faction.

I own...

SCUM: 2x shadowcaster, 3x firespray, 2x Y-wing, 2x Fangfighter, 1x Hwk-290, 1xG1A starfighter, 2x Scurgg bomber, 1x YV-666 light freighter, 3x jumpmaster, 1x starviper, 1x Khiraxz fighter, 2x Aggressor.

REBEL: 2x YT1300, 5x X-wing, 2x Y-Wing, 4x Z-95, 4x B-wing, 2x Y-wing, 1x Yt-2400, 1x E-wing, 2x K-wing 2x A-wing.

IMPERIAL: 8x tie-fighter, 3x tie-intercepter, 3x Tie-advanced, 3x tie-bomber, 3x lambda Shuttle, 1x VT-49 decimator, 1x tie-defender, 2x tie-advanced V1.

FO: 3x Tie-fighter.

Resistance: 1x T65 X-wing.

... stopped buying a few waves ago. started to focus on scum around when Atanni mindlink was popular.

... no interest inplaying rebels or FO or resistance.

... will have imperials as my backup faction when i want to play something other than scum. Sai with bombers or vader with bombers look fun. imperial aces perhaps.

... imo scum is the easiest to convert from 1.0 into 2.0. Plenty of options.

Zero!

Long Live Armada

1-2 republic squadron packs

1 Aethersprite Expansion

1-2 Republic Arcs

So looking at either $90 at the cheapest to $160 at the most. Double Arc will mostly depend on good it is... and how much I like the new paintjob.

Likely 2 of the CIS squadron pack and 2 vultures, plus one infiltrator. None of the others, I need to faction limit from here out.

This, exactly this

Sigh, I've not wanted something this bad... since getting a lightsaber

Well it’s tricky isn’t it? I want lots of Aethersprites but I don’t especially want lots of V-19s, but the Obi-Wan paint scheme is more generic isn’t it, multiple Anakin wouldn’t look right. So I dunno.

Number of ARCs depends on cards and bases - I can repaint Rebel models to use if I have enough cards and bases for a squad.

Yeah, that's really bugging me. I planned to pick up a Delta-7 when the faction was announced just to have it, but now I feel like I'm in a pickle. I don't want the standalone Anakin paintjob at all, but I also don't have any connection to the V-19s.

I might pick up one of those Guardians of the Republic packs, but that's it. There's no way I'm doing a swarm of Delta-7s at this point.

I might also just go for the Rebel ARC since I don't know if I want to play Republic now.

So, to start off, I'm buying:

1x Sith Infiltrator

2x Separatist Pack

1x Vulture Droid

2x Republic Pack

1x ARC-170

X Jedi Interceptors to make each unique paint scheme for the Jedi.

V-19s seem a bit... well not so highlighted in the movies. Arc is cooler. And gunship.

I don't think the Torrents were ever in the PT. More a popular addition from the cartoon series that the Clone Headhunter replaced.

oh. offing ew.

One of each at a minimum plus probably another cis squad pack to get a vulture miniswarm. Gonna be an expensive wave.

Still one of each. I only have 4 Z-95 models (but I got loads of TIEs) and I only have one of the strikers so another one won't hurt.

I guess the clone wars faction gets a 3 ship start. It is better than 1 or 2 but it does leave them as the smallest factions. Wave 4 I expect the 4 new factions to get more ships but that won't be until next year.

As much as I would like to..... I'm going to hold out. limited playing time and opponents. Although... if my one buddy buys me out of my scum, I might go for one of these factions. Not holding my breath on him doing that but ya never know.

Already have a great start of collections for rebels and empire so dont need to add much for them.

I can see my nephews liking them but being kids,money is an issue for them. The youngest likely too young but way try, middleone likely gonna try but i think helikes resistance andi got a start on that for him. Oldest one likes empire probobly first order with similar imagery and i got him a good start on that.

So it doesnt look likely any in my gaming group going this route anytime soon.

Well...there's no new Imperial TIEs in it so...none.

The increase in price in 2.0 is really a pain too.

But dang. Already like 4 times came back to this forum to salivate over them. I'm definitely in for Republic and some CIS.

None.

I appreciate the new stuff, but money is limited, and I can't invest in new factions right now.

Only OT era for me.

If I had a different budget, all of the new things!

On my actual budget, I have boiled it down to 1 Anakin and 1 ARC. Then I can possibly field the 7B with 2 ARCs....

2x the republic starter, delta and 2 arcs.
