Starships and Speeders release - Another guessing thread

By Rimsen, in Star Wars: Armada

So, the FFG just released his vehicle compendium for the RPG line.
Starships and Speeders Table of Contents
It is full of old and new capital ships and battleships. Seeing many of the Armada products I can't help but wonder if any of the above found ships can make an appearance later.

I know it's an old topic, but I think with the apperance in the RPG line can easily mean they might be a good candidate to appear in other medium as well.

Going off that source I'm hoping for:

DP20 Gunship - Already featured in an alt art
Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser
Marauder Assault Corvette
MC40A Light Cruiser
Rendili Stardrive Neutron Star - class Bulk Cruiser

And for squadrons I'd love to see

U-wings
Sentinel Class Landing Craft
Tie Punisher
Imperial Gunboat

Yep, it certainly can give material for a little bit more informed speculation.

First of all, the naming Cantwell-class arrestor cruiser is just nice,

second, I am still holding out for my secutor so there is that, also - of course - Dreadnaught please,

do we know wether there will artworks for them or just screengrabs or nothing?

For these:

  • DP20 Gunship => Yes
  • Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser => Yes
  • Marauder Assault Corvette => Yes
  • MC40A Light Cruiser => Yes
  • Rendili Stardrive Neutron Star - class Bulk Cruiser => Yes
  • U-wings => I think so.. if not then I know the U-wing stats are in another sourcebook somewhere
  • Sentinel Class Landing Craft => Same as above
  • Tie Punisher => Yes, this was a new one I believe.
  • Imperial Gunboat => Don't remember .. will edit later when I get home from work.
  • Secutor => Yes, I think it even had artwork

I personally was hoping for the munificent .. but alas I did not find it.

Edit: Other new ships not previously in another sourcebook (to my knowledge): Raider Corvette, Assault Frigate Mk2

Yep, It seems they went a great length to include all the ships, Armada has right now. Since they generally use the same materials throughout their products, I assume if they can print these in the RPG, they might get a miniature later down the line.

Anything but the TIE Punisher. It’s such a lazy, uninspiring design.

Scimitar Assault Bomber would fulfil an imperial heavy bomber role. And looks cooler too.

I’ve always loved the Scimitar assault bomber. And I agree about the Punisher; it’s a perfect example of the old expanded universe run amok.
