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 […]
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 earlier X-Wing miniatures, the new ships all come from the Star Wars Extended Universe (or EU, as fans like to call it in defiance […]
Fantasy Flight just put up some information about the next wave of ships for their incredibly successful X-Wing Miniatures game. Though I am excited for things like the Imperial Aces, these are some genuine new ships, including the Z-95 Headhunter and the Tie Phantom! Wow! From Fantasy Flight Games Each of the wave’s four starfighters […]
I continue to grow my Imperial squadron for the X-Wing Miniatures game. Though I have a Slave 1, which I field regularly (the only way I get to 100 pts. on the Imperial side), having started with Rebels made me long for more missiles and bombs. Enter the Tie Bomber Expansion Pack. Another awesome-looking ship, […]
Here’s a simple & fun 100 pts. Rebel Squadron for the X-Wing Miniatures game. I’ve recently started experimenting with the Imperial side in X-Wing, though I did originally start my collection with a few Rebel ships. This isn’t a “tournament-list” by any stretch. Quite the opposite, the main charm of the squadron below is that […]
I continue to build my X-Wing miniatures collection. I now own 4 Rebel ships, 2 X-Wings (incl. the one from the base game), an A-Wing and a HWK-290. These make a few nice 100 pts. squadrons to play with. Building a squadron for the “Dark Side”, however, feels trickier, mostly because I feel buying a […]
I’ve clearly been sucked into the X-Wing Miniatures Games over the last few months, late to the party and all. Though I am mostly sticking to the Rebel side so far, it’s interesting to see what Fantasy Flight Games is planning for the future of the X-Wing Miniatures Game. The Imperial Aces Expansion is an […]
