What to buy from this week's releases

By Ranker, in X-Wing

Nobody has pre-ordered the sweet, sweet template pack?!

I am! Can't wait to paint 'em up all nice!

Also, the fact that there are 5 range ruler segments means this is gearing us up for Epic, and I'll support Epic any chance I get! I'm also buying a TIE silencer because that's a sleek model!

Didn't pre order the templates, but may pick them up down the road if my FLGS stocks them.

I'm waiting on an actual picture of the templates before buying. Only the range ruler is of interest though. I have nice acrylic maneouvre templates from curled paw.

I have a sense that those will look really nice once given some dark wash and lighter grey dry-brushing.

I'm going for Stormtrooper white, black, and gray so they can match theme for both my Galactic Empire and First Order squads. I agree that contrast is key to making them look good.

My original plan was 2 Hyenas, but my FLGS' owner convinced me to get a third one (with a generous paying time)

We do have card packs coming in wave 6, and FFg did state during the 2.0 release that not all factions would have access to the same toys at the same time. They haven’t broken any promises, you don’t need passive sensors and auto blasters to make a competitive B-wing build, which was the goal.

The only real chase card at this point is the moldly crow. (BT and trip zip are dropping in the deci this week).

Which expansion has Moldy Crow?

Rebel Conversion kit.

Passive Sensors are a pretty big deal if you play Empire. Whisper, Vader, Gunboats and Punishers all get better with the card.

I have no interest in either CIS or Republic but I picked up an N-1 and a Hyena, took out the upgrades and gave the ships to my friends who play those factions.

Good Guy impspy!

I'm getting a Resistance Transport. That's my only purchase from Waves 3-5.

I was unaware only one copy of autoblaster came in the transport, so now I'm probably going to have to buy another. If I can find one in stock within the next several months...

I bought 3 copies of Autoblasters (shipping from the UK and should arrive within the... month...) at $5 each, so definitely cheaper than getting the Resistance Transport itself as I don't play the Resistance.

Eventually getting 2 N-1s for Passive Sensors because I do have a small Republic collection and I want to fly Protorp B-Wings.

Got 1 silencer and will probably get another eventually. Will also probably buy a B-Wing over the weekend (been waiting for that since 2.0 was announced).

That's all for me.

I wouldn't mind paying $5 for the single card but those are all sold too. New hotness and all that.

I don't get the excitement to get flappy B-wings. I already have enough. I don't need some more that have move-able wings. If I wanted another one, I would just buy one of the old ones on sale somewhere and use the extra dials in the conversion kit.

I bought two Hyenas. I want to buy 2 more, especially with all this talk of Epic Battles and Huge ships.

I have six B-wings already. Flappy ones don't do anything for me. My big issue is that I can't justify paying for enough dials/cards to actually break them out. I've needed a second rebel conversion from day one, but because it has such a weird distribution, I really need three of them to cover the A/B/X/Y ships, but I also really, really don't want to spend all that money on them.
