What's your Wave 4 hit list?

By Kehl_Aecea, in X-Wing

Basically, whatcha getting, how many, and why?

Rebel Millenium Falcon - 0. Why? I have 3 of this thing. I'm good. I'm done. NO MAS! (Though, I'd be lying if I said I won't be 3D printing the new dish if they don't make a SECOND Resistance Falcon)
VT-49 Decimator - 0. I have 2, never flew more than 1, but I feel like once Epic hits, these things will be AMAZING escorts for the Huge ships.
TIE S/F Fighter - 0. I have more than I can use as is.
Hyena bomber - 2 for now. I sucker for bombers, but i never fly more than 2... however, this may change depending on new Epic rules.
N-1 Fighter - 2. I'll end up with more, but I don't see myself adding more than that in a standard game.
Resistance Transport - 1. It's dedicated crew carrier and the Resistance is full of ships that can carry crew... I'll be honest, 90% of the reason I'm getting it is for the upgrades it comes with >_>
TIE/vn Silencer - 0. I have 3 of the 1E versions and as much as I dig the new molds... I'm fine with the grande sized Silencers... I'll replace then when/if they get broken
B-Wing - 3. I love the ragdoll B-Wings. I only have 2 from 1E (standalone and Rebel Aces) and I want a 3rd for Epic reasons. Also, I wanna paint one.

And lastly!

The Deluxe templates. MAYBE 1. I have two complete acrylic sets for 2.0, but I want to try throwing together a 3 player game, so these would become that awful 3rd party controller you used to give your friend when they come over to play video games.

N-1: 2 at least, maybe more depending on cost and if will power caves in.

Resistance Transport: 2 I think? It gives Resistance some new options amd possibilities.

Hyena: 0. Unless I do decide to buy Separatist I will not be buying any. Right now I own stuff for 6 out of 7 factions, trying not to buy into another but...might give in eventually.

Silencer: 1? It really depends how much I like the model in person honestly.

B-wing: 1-2. What can I say? I love the flappy wings and spinning cockpit.

Everything else I do not need.

1-5 Naboos, though 1 is most likely. But maybe 5N will be a thing.

1 Resistance transporter

0 of everything else. I don't have separatists, and I have everything else already.

2-3 naboos - depending on cost. I feel they need a solid filler, but a trio with a Delta looks to have potential.

2 transport - Just so I can have 2. I probably only need 1.... but some broken combo with 2 will show up. we know it will

2 B-wings - because spinning flapping B-wings are amazing

Currently looking at 2 N-1s and 1 Resistance Transport. I might pick up a B-Wing for the new model.

2 N-1s and maybe a B-Wing

1 Resistance Transport. I doubt more than one will be needed.

0-3 Hyenas. Not sure how into Separatists I am, or how many upgrades I'll need from that kit. Taking a wait-and see.

Probably 2-3 N-1. I feel like they seem like fun ships to fly along with Jedi. Some will depend on points and how list building would work out.

Maybe up to 2 B-Wings, since I only have 2 of them ATM. But if I get them, I'll probably try to swap my whirly ones for 1e B-Wings (classic paint scheme only).

Rest of the stuff I already have.

Hyena 2-? depends on point cost & different configs on the different pilots. If able to have 3 w/ some sort of ordnance on each for under 100 points and not all I1 I would get a 3rd.

Silencer 0-1, Tie s/f 0-4 been trying to limit my factions since I play Imps in Armada (SSD coming soon), epic seems to be on the way, & a small group of players here are looking into Legion as well.

Hyenas - point cost pending. Ideally I'd like to combo them with an infiltrator, but a lot of their abilities only worked with Networked Calculation folk

So buying enough for a miniswarms and full swarm, I suppose

N-1a -- ...one? I need room in my lists for Arcs!!!!

Hyena: 3-4, maybe 5 based on points

N-1: 2-3

Resistance Transport: 2-?: Highly dependent on points & slots... I have dumb ideas

Have a sinking feeling the n1-a chassis will be either way too good or crappy. Going to be hard to find a middle ground with full throttle

Now the "chassis" is just the base vehicle (plus probably juke because...yeah; also gasclouds). My (completely unsupported) gut feeling is we're going to see like one named pilot per list.

Said pilot will have juke (or not, in the case of Anakin), r2-c4 (best name ever), and torps +/- fire control system

2 Hyenas. But, if they are cheap enough, I might get 1-2 more later...

I’m eagerly looking forward to buying exactly one N1.

Stingy, perhaps. But I’m done chasing cards. I’ve been endeavoring to get back into the game recently after a hiatus around the 1E/2E jump, and it’s downright sobering how much stuff I’ve already got & what it costs to get it all fieldable again. I’ve only just made peace with divesting my Rebel & Resistance stuff for sanity’s sake, and making small inroads into Republic because I’m only human.

So I’ll be happy with my Scum main, First Order secondary, new small Republic force... and the metric truckload of Empire that I still need to convert one of these days. 😧

I see you are also looking for the fun combos

Thats my entire X-Wing MO

Cuz they're just too effing coooool

Decimator=0 though If I could unload one of mine, I'd consider it

YT-1300=0 same as above

Tie/sf=1 brings me up to 5

b-wing=1 love the new model

Resistance transport=1 More of a, have it in the collection, kind of ship for me

N-1=1 same as above but I think these are looking like they may be pretty good. so maybe a couple more down the line

Hyena=2 Vultures need bombing buddies

Tie Silencer=2 was about to buy a second 1st ed one when the re-sculpt was announced. unloaded my 1st ed one and getting two of these.

x2 N-1 = I think these are gonna be good fillers in that 30pt range for republic, where currently you either go 25 for torrent, or 42 for Arc.

x1 transport = coordinating support? yes please! Gonna be hard choosing this over A-wing ace like talli or Lulo though. Point cost gonna be crucial as its fighting with the Awings in that 30pt range.

x2 Hyena = Should be TIE Bomber good. Im not one to spam ships, so two should fill my needs.

x0 Bwings = Cant even remember the last time I flew a bwing.

x0 Decimators = I dont have any. Maybe pick up a used one from someone dumping a 1st edition model for cheap.

x0 TIE S/F = I got 3 already

x0 YT-1300 = just stop it, FFG, stop!

x0 TIE Silencer = Will just take a Swollencer off someone on the secondary market. The big size doesnt bother me and I dont want two different size models.

x1 transport - I haven't been flying Resistance, but I think it'll give the faction a lot of options.

x1 TIE Silencer - I'm a sucker for the new model.

x1 B-Wing - Same. That new model is dope.

x4 Hyenas - Yea, this is too many. But I'm in love with the Separatist faction so far, and the Hyena (and the follow-on Nantex) are going to do so much for opening up list building. Very, VERY excited. Also, EPIC BATTLES. Gotta have that goodness.

Definitely 2 Resistance Transports because having a C3P0 carrier for cheap is going to open up a ton of gameplay possibilities. I think this thing is going to be almost as useful as the escape craft for Scum.

1, maybe 2 Naboo fighters, 2 Hyenas since they look really fun, and probably at least 1 B-wing an 1 Silencer for the new models.

2 Hyenas, maybe more depending on cost.

1 BWing because fancy new sculpt with movement.

Maybe 1 Resistance Transport.

Probably at least 2 'Yenas.

1 B-wing, because b-wing... and because I stepped on and smashed one of my old ones. :(

Maaaaybe a Resistance Transport. I'm not really flying Resistance any more.

Nothing else.

Man, lots of you guys are splashing across the various factions. For those buying all-of-the-above, do you truly fly all of the factions enough to make it feel worthwhile?

In my case, I know Seps and Resistance are still early enough & small enough as factions that I could try to get into (or stick with) them, but I frankly don’t get enough games in to justify flying more than 3 or 4 factions!

I try to diversify, plus I'm a collector. Also, my casual X-Wing friends come by and like to mix things up as well

2 B-Wings - They're my favorite ship in the Star Wars universe. I started playing just after 2.0 hit and I held off picking up any of the 1.0 figures juuuuuuust in case something cool cropped up with the 2.0 release and I was not disappointed.

1 YT-1300 Modifies - A Rebel player without the Falcon and all those great crew cards? Gotta fix that.

2 N-1s - These just look fun plus plasma torps and passive sensors looks pretty solid point pending point values.

1-2 Resistance Transports - The decision to snag the second one hinges on point cost and slots.
