I’ve resisted the TIE Fighter expansion for X-Wing for a while. In many ways, it is the least economical of the expansion, as you get not just one, but two TIE Fighters in the X-Wing miniatures base game (and many people buy multiple copies of that). To make the TIE Fighter expansion attractive, Fantasy Flight […]
The fourth wave of X-Wing ships is on their way. Fantasy Flight has done a series of previews. They’ve saved the most mysterious of the ships – the TIE Phantom – for last. Obviously, people (including me) were wondering how the X-Wing miniatures game would bring the Phantom’s signature cloaking ability to the table. Now the […]
It can’t accelerate worth a wheep and it turns slower than a comet, but if you get in its sights, it can blow you to itty-bitty pieces. It would be embarrassing to have to inform your family you got shot apart by a shuttle, so stay alert. It’s been nearly 3 waves into Fantasy Flight’s […]
Ever since I received my Imperial Aces box, I’ve experimented with TIE Interceptors. Mostly, it’s been painfully humiliating. Squadrons with just 3 blinged-out Interceptors aren’t (so far) doing it for me. Probably due to my lack of piloting skills. So am trying 2 “Aces” and 3 Academy Pilots are red shirt escorts. Anyhow, long story […]
Holy…. Fantasy Flight Games is really pushing X-Wing this spring. The Imperial Aces expansion just arrived in stores. The Rebel Aces expansion has been announced. The large ships are on their way. And, of course, there is Wave 4 of X-Wing ships. For the last, Fantasy Flight Games now released a preview of the pilots […]
A lot of people – myself included – are eagerly awaiting the Fantasy Flight’s Imperial Aces for the X-Wing Miniatures Game. Presumably, it was only a question of time until the Rebel counterparts would reveal themselves. Unlike the Imperial Aces pack, which features two alternative-paint-job Tie Interceptors, the Rebel Aces will include two different ships: […]
Fantasy Flight offers a new glimpse of their upcoming large ships. Unlike the last preview of the Tantive IV, this one looks at the slightly smaller Rebel Transport. Though I am still not fully convinced of those large ships in X-Wing, this one might be a bit more tempting. First, because it is not quite […]
The final ship to talk about in Fantasy Flight Games’ recently announced fourth Wave of X-Wing Miniatures: The Z-95 Headhunter. The Z-95 appears to be a deceptively plain entry to Wave 4. It brings no fancy new cloaking rules like the TIE Phantom for example. And yet, by offering Rebel Squadrons a cheap-as-chips ship to add […]
Fantasy Flight Games revealed the 4th wave of X-Wing Miniatures. They are scheduled for the second Quarter of 2014, though delays are not unknown with these miniatures. Unlike the majority of previous X-Wing miniatures, the new ships all come from the Star Wars Extended Universe. Even so, it’s a surprise it took so long for the […]
Fantasy Flight Games revealed the 4th wave of X-Wing Miniatures. They are scheduled for the second Quarter of 2014, though delays are not unknown with these miniatures. Unlike the majority of previous X-Wing miniatures, all the new ships come from the Star Wars Extended Universe. I’ll be honest and say, that the E-Wing, the pricier, more […]
