Wave 4, anyone?

By CrookedWookie, in X-Wing

I'm gonna need a bigger box...

Thanks!

To be honest the E-Wing and Tie Phantom are a bit of a shock, but very cool news still the same :)

YESSSSSS! I had a feeling that this was coming up.

AWWWW YEAH!

So unexpected! With the big ships i thought that we would not see them for quite a while but 2Q 2014? Cross are fingers for it not to get pushed back!

This is going to get insane!

ooooh 12 point z-95, guess that means I'll be spending a fair amount of money on wave 4.

Holy crap this came out of nowhere

They say quarter two, but I'm sure that means "not until GenCon," haha.

I can't believe they actually went through with the TIE Phantom. The others I could see. The Phantom, though? It's only from one game. I'm cool with it, just very surprised.

I hope this doesn't mean they've skipped the Avenger, though ... that was my favorite ship in TIE Fighter. =\

Whoa. The E-Wing has me seriously surprised. Its an expensive monster.

Glad they went with that version of the TIE Defender. And so excited for the Z-95!

Eeeeee! Excited for this one!

Rebel Swarms BABY!!!

What do y'all think the details of the TIE Phantoms Cloak action will be? I can't make out the card.

Very interesting, I was curious to see what they would do after running out of ships from the movies. I was expecting to see the Z-95 and the TIE Defender, but the E-Wing and the TIE Phantom are a bit of a surprise. I'm very glad that they didn't include any ships from the prequels.

Yeah at 32 points for a PS5... I don't know if you could manage 4 of them in a list, unless the lower PS pilots are a Lot cheaper point wise.

Guess I'd better start saving now.

I can't believe they actually went through with the TIE Phantom.

With 4 attack and Cloak... I think the Phantom can really change up the meta a lot.

Yipee!!!

The TIE Defender is a beast with 3 attack, 3 evade, 3 shields and 3 hull. That's gonna put the hurt on some rebels.

Well, now we know! I'm surprised by the direction they went with some of those, but definitely pleased!

So if I want to field squads of nothing but the new ships, I'll need:

  • Eight Z-95s
  • Three TIE Defenders
  • Three E-wings
  • Four TIE Phantoms

Any disagree? Z-95s are going to make this an expensive wave!

27 points for the PS1 E-Wing, hahahaha, insane

Looks like it comes with the new Flechette Torpedoes that also come in the Rebel Transport.

I wonder what they mean by "The TIE defender is a straight-forward fighter with strong shields, weapons, agility, and a maneuver never before seen on a dial. "

Is it just me or does the TD have a Green straight 5 showing on the dial?

Also can anyone make out what the other rule card with the Z95 is?

Like the ion pulse missile in concept but wonder how useful it really will be. That said, 5 Z95's with conc missiles, or assault missiles makes for one heck of a alpha.

Really love that the E-Wing comes with advanced sensors.

THE PHANTOM HAS 4 ATTACK? Am i seeing that correctly

A one K-turn is my best guess, unless it's some kind of curved K-turn.
