Eight or more...

By Shadowshand, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Looking to get an answer to a quick question. I personally have not purchased the Epic Games Expansion and rules as of yet, but does anyone know if you can have more than 8 of a single model in a list for any variant of Epic? Such as more than 8 Vulture Droids, or 8 TIE Fighters? If so, what would the new max number be?

Looking to get more Vultures and TIEs to play with in time.

I think the 8 Shi maximum still applies in list building, even in epic.

Good to know, thank you!

No. The 2-8 ship limit is for tournament play.

This is correct. The limit only applies for legal tournaments. Epic format isnt tournament legal, so go nuts.

Nice! Thank you for the responses!

Notably, the "8 max of a single ship model" rule did apply in the First Edition Epic Tournament rules document. We don't have one of those documents for Second Edition yet, so that rule isn't technically in place... but I would expect that, if we do ever get a Tournament Document for epic play in the current version of the game, we will get either the same ruling (no more than 8 of one ship type, no more than 4 of one talent or special weapon), or some variation on it.
