The first Silencer image looks like someone stepped on it. The other Silencer looks like a 1.0 miniature to me....no size change.

Peg in the second image doesn't line up with the center of the miniature. Unless the peg hole in the 1.0 mini was at the cockpit or in the right strut. Makes me think the first image was a teaser.

It's exactly like the previews for the 1st edition Silencer.

So since I will be flying the resistance faction when it comes out. I have 2 T-65 xwings and 1 t-70. One is a second edition t-65 from core set. Can I use those X-Wings and fly them as t-70s when I get my conversion kit? Would that be legal in a tournament or just fun play?

I don't think you guys really understand how actually large the TIE Silencer really is. It's NOT a very small ship.

****, it's **** near a deathtrap due to its size in Battlefront II 2. Its size is indeed correct there too. It is a little big in XWMG, but you guys are seriously undershooting its scale.

Just for fun play.

Where's that first model from? The only one I can see on the page is this: swz18_ship-art2_a3.png

Really hope the first model is what we'll get

I think they are trying to keep the new model under wraps, either it was a tease or they accidently showed the new model. They did already say there would be a new sculpt.

Has no one else noticed the base under the silencer is much smaller than those under the other TIEs?

That’s because the image of the entire ship is shrunk down a bit. The current silencer model is actually quite big so they reduced the picture a tad when they replaced the image of the new model with the old one.

I am just wondering what to do with my current silencer... do I bin it, repaint it? :( all I can think of is that it will look really strange when next to the newer version.

Anyways, rubbish article as it was again suggesting that ****** electronic baffle with quickdraw to self-damage. C'mon really.. who the **** does that?

People used to Palp the dice for rocks/debris to do it so...

I understand this was absolutely something that people did in 1.0, so more people than you think?

edit: with Rage, for re-rolls.

I guess so!

Huh, maybe I am crazy but that Silencer looks smaller and different than the old one. Might be the new sculpt they talked about.

Yes, the new release will be a smaller model, I can't wait to see it on the table.

Excuse, me, you would too, if your Soontir would non-stop roll a crit on debris....big oof.

I meant they would Palp a hit/crit on Quickdraw to LOSE a shield and trigger a shot.

The person I was replying to was wondering why you'd take Baffle on Quickdraw.

I'd say keep it and use it when you just have one in your list. I have 3 of the 1.0 Silencers and plan to keep using them. That is unless the newer miniature has a better paint scheme such as the white solar panels that are on the TIE/FO and TIE/SF. That would cause me to replace the Silencers I have now.

The white panels on the silencer would be a nice addition to the paint scheme.

Give me one reason they would diverge from the source material.

Since we have seen a picture (presumably) of the new miniature, white panels seem VEEERY unlikely.

I mean it just doesn't make any sense why they'd be there.
