Wave 4 for the X-Wing Miniatures game arrived. There are several interesting new ships in the mix, but none more so than the sneaky, cloaking Imperial stealth fighter, the TIE Phantom. I definitely had to get myself one of those. The TIE Phantom is a great little ship/expansion that breaks the “standards” established in X-Wing […]
My miniature collection grows, thus I need storage. Since I already own a few cases from Tabletop Tyrant, such as my trusty Kingmaker (behind the books in the pic above), I was more than happy to see Tabletop’s newest addition, the Squire Plastic Figure Case. Pretty much the same size as Tabletop Tyrant’s “half-size” Kingmaker, it […]
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 […]
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.
Fantasy Flight’s fantastic X-Wing Miniatures Game is a bit at a cross-road. They’ve mostly exhausted the known ships from the classic Star Wars movies that make for good dog-fighting: the TIE Fighter and its movie-variants, the eponymous X-Wing, the Millenium Falcon and Slave 1, etc.. . The game has clearly been a massive success for […]
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 […]
