Ok so X-Wing is getting a Con-Exclusive paint job on one of their new droid fighters.

Legion is getting a Celebration Exclusive Vader Sculpt with alternate art cards and it's Resin! (And looks ZOMG AMAZING!)

My bet is a Gen Con Exclusive SSD Alternate Sculpt of the Legends Eclipse model - and THAT"s why it takes so long to get this stuff! Anyone else?

We'll get an alt art card drawn by a 5th grader.

And I'd frame that *****.

Maybe they are doing fancy custom painted squadron packs, and thats why it took far too long to get those out.

I'd buy up an Eclipse model the second I saw it.

Trying to think of what ships could be released as a con exclusive with an alternate paint scheme. While also in the same price range of the alt. paint Vulture Droid and alt. sculpt Vader.

Maybe a CR-90 in the blue colors seen in Revenge of the Sith? A painted squadron pack? Gozanti transports in the Vector colors? Pay a little extra for a red Victory -class Star Destroyer? Even pricier Errant Venture red ISD?

There really are plenty of cool options if FFG went for it.

The coolest:

sun bleached white ISD I with the correct bridge tower, turrets, and thruster nozzles

We aren't X-Wing. We aren't Legion. We are Armada. We barely are , period.

We get nothing, as per usual. And when FFG throws up some eventual low-effort scraps (like an article about a big points format that just borrowed from what already existed and offers nothing substantive), we will grovel at their feet and boast about just how many SSDs we will be buying for our collection or sharing stories of how our local Armada scene is just teeming with new players.

It's like y'all have Stockholm Syndrome, bad. 🤣

Hot **** man...

It's a "What If" thread.

Not a "Whine about the same thing that's being whined about in a dozen other threads" thread.

Now shoo, and let people imagine what could be.

I’d love an Eclipse class. One of my fav designs. But given the attention Armada gets I’m giving this odds of 3720 to1.

Guys, stop pretending FFG remembers we exist. My prediction is that the next article we get reminds us that red dice exist in our game and that, if we'd like, we can use red dice at any level of gameplay. I expect it in around 3 months, just shy of a year before the SSD's new, updated, release date.

The Lightmaker from Rogue One, new sculpt and paint job.

I would be very upset at an exclusive for Armada when they could print it for everyone.

Hmm, I'd be quite concerned that the bridge tower would end up the way of the VSD antenna

Then again, I haven't broken any part of my nebbies, so maybe it's just a VSD problem..

My guess/wish: a maneuver tool that isn’t made out of soft plastic. Like acrylic or aluminum or something, and with tight enough joints that there isn’t any play.

I abhor event exclusive stuff, so I devoutly hope nothing like this ever happens to Armada.

I want a proper Assault Frigate Mark I replacement model!

Or a faction neutral Starter Pack with two Katana fleet dreadnoughts!

That would be awesome. But what if they made a exclusive double size home one model. New art and a new ship card with more hull and an isd1 broadside. And different defense tokens.

i would love if they made a deal eclipse model though.

Absolutely not. The new Legion Vader is bad enough, but at least it's the same stats, meaning you can just use the regular one, no problem.

An exclusive model, with improved stats, that could only be gotten at a particular event, would be awful. Scalpels would buy bunches at the event and it would be on eBay for ridiculous prices, and players who either had the time or the money, or both, to get it would have a huge unfair advantage.

This is why I abhor exclusive anything, I don't mind alt art cards as prizes ( as they are relatively widely available, and you can always use the original) but an actual model with different stats would be a terrible decision by FFG, and would alienate a large portion of the player base, I think.

Note that " we're gonna get jack-s*** when it comes to limited edition models " is, in fact, a kind of answer to the question of "what do you guys think we'll most likely get at Adepticon alongisde X-Wing and Legion?" which is what the OP asked. Of course, I realize that Crabbok's whole point about the Eclipse was his tongue-in-cheek way of sarcastically lamenting the fact that of course Armada won't be receiving the same sort of treatment or attention that the flagship product lines have been getting. So, in a way, the OP was also answering the question with "nothing, of course!"


If for some weird reason you do not think that "none" is a possible answer to a question about the likelihood of future events, then let me ask this: "What kind of businesses do you think you're gonna successfully rob next month?"

Well... if I keep posting on the forums while I'm at work, probably the business I work for. lol

we'll get an Xwing model, same scale than the ISD (so around 0.2 mm) and be told that it is painted like Wedge one in Ep IV.

and FFG will have a an internal wager of how many player will get a microscope to find the painting errors on it 🤣

Beach ball sized Death Star. Infinity shield & 1 hull point. Can only be destroyed by Luke's pilot ability.
