But no ordnance tubes or 180° of 4-dice coverage :(

I'm hoping for a CR90 for Christmas. But I love my Raider.

Meh, no thanks. I'm not a fan of huge games for any miniature game system, X-Wing or otherwise.

Me neither. But the new Epic x wing is just as quick and clean as regular XWing.

It's not that big of a sale, calm down a bit... My old Tantive will do just fine if I fly that brick again.

I rather prefer the Raider and -really- the Gozanti (favorite). And, to some degree the CROC, she's quite good in support. Though, I haven't seen or played the 2.0 version as of yet, so???

Support croc!?!?

Not on my time!

Can you post a link and the price? There seem to be a couple of “cool stuffs” out there.

@CoffeeMinion I don't think OP means that there is a sale/discount, they're just making a joke about how it didn't get cancelled.

Eh, fine.

Just trying to do a little PSA with a twist of humor.

Ah, well. Where did I put that list of all the things I hate about Repaints-As-Prizes? :D

Played the CR90 twice, blasted AC/DC in one of the matches... I’m impressed. The CR90 never was an enjoyable experience in 1.0, but this thing is a powerhouse in 2.0 and an absolute joy. Wonderful in objectives when you absolutely need to hold a point and stunningly effective at wrecking enemy star fighters.

Virgin CR-90 vs Chad space whales.

also I wanted an actual raider, not some alternative.

Still 129 points to play with.

Sadly I cannot have Proach follow the CROC with Swarm Tactics to make it I4 anymore, but it's still solid.

And 100% I did too, even if I didn't need another model.

But let's keep the flame alive, so that FFG knows it is wanted/needed.

If the figures were in scale with each other, I might have considered it.

it does suck the Gr75 is in 1/500 and whatnot, but you can always sub models. Kitbashing is fun, thematic and solves scale issues

It's actually not that bad. We cranked out a scenario from the book with an extra 33% pts and still finished in like 2 hours I want to say? It actually goes way WAY quicker than the first ed version.
