First Look Review: X-Wing Miniatures GR-75 Rebel Transport

By Rob Baer | April 30th, 2014 | Categories: Fantasy Flight Games, First Look, Star Wars, Videos, X-Wing 2.0

“General, prepare your troops for a surface attack.” Thus begun one of the greatest Sci-Fi fantasy sieges in recent memory, the Invasion of Hoth.

Today we take a look at the heavy lifter transport that helped the Rebels evacuate Hoth, the GR-75.

This new ship also unlocks a new way to play X-Wing Miniatures: Epic Mode.

The new release also contains both the new “Huge” class of ship, the GR-75, and an alternate paint scheme X-wing that can be used with a few “classic” X-wing pilots from the moves.

Value wise this expansion seems solid as just a large and a small ship totals up to $45, and the retail on this kit is $60 (which is basically two large ships and a small ship IMHO).
Check it all out below in my first look video review of the new Rebel GR-75, and be sure to read our other Star Wars Tactics Articles. -MBG

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.

LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
