The Resistance has new T-70 pilots that are out of this world. Come and see this awesome new build for Star Wars X-Wing! Let’s show the Empire who’s boss!

The T-70 is the upgraded version of the Rebel workhorse: the T-65 X-Wing. These new ships demand better pilot skills, and we have an excellent pilot to work with: “Snap” Wexley.

This guy’s pilot ability allows you to perform a free boost after performing a 2, 3, 0r 4 speed maneuver. This makes for some crazy placement for these guys! We can still turn the heat up even more with some  of new upgrade cards. Primed Thrusters is an excellent example.

Since he will be performing lots of 3 and 4 speed maneuvers, his Tallon Rolls and Koirogan turns will not be affected by stress tokens. Primed Thrusters allows you to boost or barrel roll while you have stress tokens! This new Tech upgrade rocks! Let’s add some more.

Vectored Thrusters add even more maneuverability to his ship, giving him the barrel roll action. This has good synergy with Primed Thrusters, and since he will be taking on a lot of stress, let’s give him some help by adding R2 Astromech and Wired. So far this is what we have:

“Snap” Wexley – Wired + R2 Astromech + Vectored Thrusters + Primed Thrusters = 35 points

Not bad for a Rebel ship! Check this guy out when the “Heroes of the Resistance” expansion drops for the Star Wars X-Wing miniatures game! Can’t wait!
