Challenge Event prize:

Hey it’s a Dark Angels Defender!

Ok now I am lost. Are we suposed to get seasonal kits along with the Deluxe wave kits from now on?!

Or no more Deluxe wave kits but back to seasonal kits?

I am not sure whats going on but the amount of cards you get if they ll be releasing both is more than any midle size shop can distribute in the time frame these kits are ment for.

Too bad all the ship cards are Empire. Definitely some nice prizes, but nothing to get excited about if you don't run Imperials. Oh well, I'm sure everyone will get a turn eventually.

I agree.

Also while I like the attempt to make playing exciting.... I still like the old formats I created or modified from others. This now creates me thinking but will be good for stores or tine constraint TOs.

Now managing costs with the LGS just became complicated predicated in trust.

This^

my wish list: Moldy Crow alt art... Han Gunner alt art (yes i know its going to get nerfed soon), and some alt art upgrade that's getting played (Deadman's Switch and munitions Failsafe must be close to the two Most Unplayed upgrades... just saying). How about some advanced sensors or dorsal turret alt art cards!?

Pretty much this. At least I do own one Punisher, but outside of that I don’t really have any actual desire for anything but Crackshot.

Seriously, FFGOP has always had a pretty terrible track record for alt art upgrades, and their pilot choices were about 50% pilots that saw play and 50% pilots that never saw play.

For instance, here including "Deathrain" instead of "Redline" is clearly just FFGOP being out of touch.

Very nice ! All cards look good can't wait to have them !

Deathrain/Scourge/Howlrunner/Black crack squadron I see a list over here !

Never used Deadmans Switch but now I want to.

... ffg have the crystal ball... maybe in the future redline isnt as played as deathrain... points could go up on redline and/or down on deathrain.

Maybe they are trying to get people to play the unpopular pilots.

Both, per Alex on Facebook.

I'm not sold on the card selection, tbh. There's only one pilot who's properly iconic and actually useful in this edition here, and frankly we all have frellign dozens of copies of Crack Shot and DMS and Failsafe already and none of them are getting used.

alt art Juke

alt art pilots: Palob, Guri, Capt Jonus, Whisper, Wedge, Luke.

limited edition (2 per kit) alt art Moldy Crow HWK-290 title.

There's already an official AA Proton torp, Juke, Luke and Guri available from various events (patronage card, seasonal kit, launch kit/gencon, System Open, respectively).

The only dud here I see is Munitions Failsafe. Everything else, I've seen played.

Deathrain/Scourge/Howlrunner/Black crack squadron I see a list over here !

TIE/ca Punisher - •“Deathrain” - 64
•“Deathrain” - Dexterous Bombardier (42)
Trajectory Simulator (3)
Proton Torpedoes (9)
Proton Bombs (5)
Seismic Charges (3)
Munitions Failsafe (2)

TIE/ln Fighter - •“Howlrunner” - 41
•“Howlrunner” - Obsidian Leader (40)
Crack Shot (1)

TIE/ln Fighter - •“Scourge” Skutu - 33
•“Scourge” Skutu - Seasoned Veteran (32)
Crack Shot (1)

TIE/ln Fighter - Black Squadron Ace - 27
Black Squadron Ace - (26)
Crack Shot (1)

TIE/ln Fighter - Black Squadron Ace - 27
Black Squadron Ace - (26)
Crack Shot (1)

Total: 192/200

I predict the challenge event for this season will allow an illicit slot on Tie Fighters so you can equip them with Deadman's Switch and explode them with Deathrain's trajectoried bombs. Add a Deadman's Switch to these four Ties and get yourself to 200/200 .

Alt arts I'd like to see: bt1 000 moldy crow barrage rockets afterburners hate whatever the other new force card is. In short everything that's only in a single kit.

Pilots wise... basically anyone well known would be fine.

As an Imperial player, I am looking forward to these, but can definitely understand why others are feeling left out. The Howlrunner alt art is great and she's a great pilot. Scourge is seeing table time n my current Battle of Yavin list. Black Squadron Aces are always useful, and while Deathrain isn't as useful as Redline, he's not a bad pilot.

Throw Ruthless on everyone instead of Crack Shot. TIE/ln's + Ruthless + Dead Man's Switch = Hilarity

Games will be over really quick, one way or the other.

Could also use Electronic Baffle on all the ties to have them doing 3-4Ks every turn until they explode!

Also, imagine a Sloane swarm with Deadman's Switch...

so for one turn?

Shhhh... don't tell them!

Our store just got these kits in, and let us sneak a peak at them. I didn't realize that "Black Squadron Ace," "Scourge," and "Deathrain," all line up to form one BEATIFUL panoramic picture! So cool! I wonder if 1) the Munitions Failsafe art also originally belonged to the same painting, and 2) if the full painting will ever become available for purchase. It might even be at one of the Celebration booths/panels featuring FFG-hired artists.
