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 […]
The X-Wing Imperial Aces Expansion arrived (if you could get hold of one… ). Expensive and fragile, TIE Interceptors are rarely the go-to choice for X-wing players, but they are a classic Star Wars design. I sure hope the Imperial Aces expansion, with two alternative-paint-job TIE Interceptors – gives the “squints” a bit more oompf on […]
Wizkids is on a roll. Their Star Trek Attack Wing game, licensed from FFGs X-Wing Miniatures game (which in turn is arguably an unlicensed “homage” of Wings of Glory) was a massive success. Good enough for Wizkids to take the licensed game mechanics for another spin with a different bag of Heroclix miniatures: Dungeons & […]
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: […]
Ouch! A wonderful little comic on the X-Wing Miniatures game from Direman. It’s a few months old, though I only saw it today on Facebook. This one hits very close to the truth Z.
The picture you see above is making the round on the internet (or 4Chan) today. Could be a fake, though more likely FFG is brewing up another 40K Card Game. I never got to try Fantasy Flight’s Space Hulk Card Game. No idea if the 40K Theme would make a decent LCG. To be fair, […]
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 […]
