We saw the tease during FFG’s GenCon panel… Now, we have the full story on the Wave XII Expansion releases for Star Wars: X-Wing!
Get ready to arm your missiles, load torpedoes, line up a bullseye, and launch your attack with the three new fighters in Wave XII for Star Wars: X-Wing. This new expansion will have the Alpha Class Star Wing, M12-L Kimogila Fighter, and Phantom II expansion packs. They pack powerful weapons and ordinance to light up the skies. Not only do they reinforce the mainstay tactics of maneuvering and lining up shots, they will also provide players the chance to explore new tactics based on reloading ordnance, jamming enemy sensors, and making each shot count.
The Alpha Class Star Wing is heavily armed for its size. It can be outfitted with powerful cannons or devastating ordinance. It comes with two agility, four hull, three shields, and a primary weapon that boasts a modest attack value of two. It has the native ability to load both missiles and torpedo upgrades. Add to this the XG-1 Assault Configuration Title and it gains two cannon slots as well. Not only can it delver a powerful alpha strike, it can take advantage of the new reload action. The expansion pack comes with a one pre-painted miniature, four ship cards, seven upgrades, one maneuver dial, reference cards for the reload action and jam tokens, and all the plastic and tokens you need to fly the ship to battle.
The M12-L Kimogila Fighter Expansion Pack includes one pre-painted miniature, four ship cards, and ten upgrades. The Kimogila is a blunt instrument that is capable of withering coordinated firepower and has a sizable ordinance capacity. It does have a hard time maneuvering but excels at the initial, head on approach and engagement. It has 3 Atk, 1 Agi, 6 Hull, and 2 Shields to withstand damage in the initial pass and, with the new Bullseye firing arc, you can maximize your damage output.
Finally, there is the Phantom II transport shuttle that has been heavily modified with upgraded weapons and a custom docking system. it is an attack ready vessel with 2 Atk, 2 Agi, 4 Hull, and 1 Shields. Its main weapon can fire from either its forward arc or auxiliary firing arc. The expansion pack includes four ship cards and six upgrades, including new astromechs, crew options, Title upgrades, maneuver dial, three reference cards, and all the plastic and tokens you need in order to field the Phantom II in battle. The upgrades and pilot cards add depth to the ship’s ability to perform coordinated actions.
Alpha-class Star Wing Expansion Pack: $14.95
The first widely deployed Imperial starfighter to boast shields and a hyperdrive, the Alpha-class Star Wing had limited maneuverability, but was heavily armed for its size. The fighter remains impressively durable and destructive in X-Wing™, where its two agility, four hull, and three shields are paired with the ability to unleash cascading torrents of missile and cannon fire. The Star Wing’s pre-painted miniature is accompanied by four ship cards, seven upgrades, one maneuver dial, reference cards for the reload action and jam tokens, and all the plastic and tokens you need to fly the ship to battle.
M12-L Kimogila Fighter Expansion Pack: $19.95
Produced by MandalMotors and flown by enforcers of the Hutt kajidics and other criminal cartels, the M12-L Kimogila fighter was dreaded by spacers across the Outer Rim for its ordnance capacity and the withering torrents of coordinated fire it could unleash. The M12-L Kimogila Expansion Pack brings this heavy fighter to life in X-Wing™ as a blunt instrument that trades maneuverability for raw destructive power. Its pre-painted miniature starfighter comes with four ship upgrades and ten upgrades, many of which reward you for catching your foes in the ship’s new bullseye firing arc.
Phantom II Expansion Pack: $14.95
The Phantom II is a Sheathipede-class transport shuttle that the Spectres recovered from a Clone Wars-era military base and modified with weapons and a custom docking system. It makes its X-Wing™ debut in the Phantom II Expansion Pack as an attack-ready vessel that comes with four ship cards and six upgrades. These include new astromechs, crew upgrades, and Title upgrades that incorporate more of Star Wars Rebels in your space battles and add depth to the shuttle’s ability to perform the coordinate action.
The Wave XII Expansion Releases will launch in the fourth quarter of 2017.
