Seriously, does the Hype train even have brakes? With wave 4 on the edge of release, Fantasy Flight throws out Wave 5! Weirdly enough though, its only 2 ships. Just a taste of things to come or we finally hitting that wall of what the original Star Wars can offer? Guess time will tell, till […]

Sweet, Fantasy Flight has revealed exactly how Cloaking would work in X-Wing. Yes, I realize this has been out for a bit so I’m a little late to the game but I figured I’d give it some time, for a few reasons. 1, I wanted to see if it was a hoax or not. Given […]

The TIE Defender. A ship released just before the battle of Endor, it was leagues above prior models and was more than a match for the Rebel ships, easily performing maneuvers and bring firepower they just couldn’t handle. And from what I’m told in the TIE Fighter Computer game this was an instant win god […]

Aw snap, now the rebels got aces too! Lets take a look at the preview.  No joke, 5 seconds before seeing the new Rebel Aces here I saw a quick thing on Reddit on my phone and thought ‘Ya know, its a shame that to get the Rebel Aces you have to buy the GR-75 […]

Somehow during my looking through the last few teasers and leaks for the upcoming ships, a part of me never noticed there wasn’t to much shared about the large ships outside of leaks. Imagine my surprise that Fantasy Flight throws out a look at the new GR-75… and its time to hop on the hype […]

With the immense success of Star Wars X-Wing it was only a matter of time before the flip side of nerd coin would get its own mini game. That’s right boys and girls, Star Trek takes it first walk into the space combat miniatures game (least I hope so cause if I’m wrong I’m so […]

This time around I’ll be talking about the other two ships, the HWK-290 and the Lambda together.Are they worth the time and effort or are they best left in the scrap yard? Again, you’ll want to pick them up purely for the upgrades, but should you get multiple ships? Lets find out. Well, lets answer […]

Continuing with my run on the new ships, lets talk about the Tie Bomber in a more review type tone.Like with the B-Wing, I won’t be going over the pilots or upgrades or anything. Just the ships as a whole with my time playing with them, and whether or not you should shell out some […]

And now that the new wave three ships have been out and about for a bit, lets start talking about them and whether they’re worth your time and effort.This won’t be like my older ‘reviews’ as I’ve discussed all the upgrades and pilots and all those goodies during the pre release times. So now we’re […]

With things slowing down and all that jazz in the world of X-wing while we all eagerly await Wave 3 (which was, maybe, delayed in the UK, sorry), I think I’ll use this time and be lazy.Time to look at all the older pilots and see if they’re worth using! And like i said, I’m […]

And just when I thought we could cool down and relax Fantasy Flight goes ahead and does something silly at Gencon! Big ships…very big ships!Time to take a breather and start squeeing! Done? Ok, SPECULATION TIMES! Sadly I couldn’t be attending Gencon right now, so this is all I’ve seen from the interwebs. So if […]

Who’s up for another type of angry rant on the internet?!Oh yea, this time we’re talking about something I feel pretty strong about in my ways of hating it, and that is the Ship Upgrade Stealth Device. For 3 points you can upgrade any ships agility by one, but once hit you lose it. Sounds […]

With Fantasy Flight giving us a preview of the upcoming ships from Wave 3, lets take a look now at the HWK-290, aka the Moldy Crow. First up we have Jan Ors, a skill 8 for 25 points. For a 4th of your army you can have an extra attack by stressing this guy. Honestly, […]
