Get ready for one of the most exciting Imperial X-wing Miniature releases in a long time. Watch out, because The Inquisitor is coming to X-Wing soon!

Inquisitor’s TIE Expansion Pack $14.95
Each wave of starship expansions for X-Wing™ is designed to expand the ranks of all three factions. So as our last previews focused on the Ghost Expansion Pack and what its ships and crew can offer your budding Rebel forces, it is only natural that we continue our Wave VIII previews with a look at the Imperial expansion pack that features one of the Lothal rebels’ greatest adversaries, the Inquisitor.
Along with the Inquisitor’s ship card, the Inquisitor’s TIE Expansion Pack prominently features its deadly miniature TIE Advanced prototype, sculpted and pre-painted at the game’s standard 1/270 scale. You will also find three more ship cards, five upgrades, a maneuver dial, and all the tokens you need to force your opponent to recognize the power of the dark side of the Force.
Well this new ship is definitely bringing the heat to games of X-Wing. It seems like they’re still giving missiles and torpedoes the old college try still too with the new upgrade card xx-23 s-thread tracers.
Personally I dig this one, it takes one of the steps out of the launch sequence (getting a target lock) making bomber builds even easier than before!
Next up is the saucy guidance chips upgrade that’s basically free on ships not running modifications, again making bomber type builds more feasible.
The inquisitor himself is dirty, throwing 3 dice at any range and look at that action bar! All that’s missing is Autothrusters, Push the Limit, and maybe the new ship title to give him a free evade when he target locks.
Soontir Fel better watch his back, the Inquisitor is coming and X-Wing miniatures may NEVER be the same!
No one tell Vader he got a crappy version of the TIE Advanced Prototype….

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.
