X Wing starter advice
« on: May 10, 2016, 05:00:03 PM »
I just bough two starter sets and at the advice of a cheap retailer bought a few more.

I now have for the Empire: 4 Tie fighters, 1 Tie Fighter advanced and a Lambda Class.  For the rebels I have 2 X-Wings, 2 Y-Wings and a Millenium Falcon.  This seemed a reasonable amount, what do you guys think?  Do I need anything else?

Need: No.
You can have loads of fun games with just those.

Want: Of course you will want more as they are nice and highly addictive.
 :D

I already have more than that, about ten ships for each faction, but have not used half of them yet.
I HAVE restrained myself from buying more though....

You have been warned.
It may not do any good....

The chap was showing me some immense brute reduced to £60, but I managed to hold back.  Pleased to see I am on the right path....  Thanks

What, no Scum and Villainy ships?  :D

The Imperial Aces and Rebel Aces are nice sets. That gets you two TIE Interceptors in the Imperial box and an A-Wing and B-wing in the Rebel box. Since you've already got two A-wings though you might be better picking up a couple of Y-Wings. Check out Wordery for cheap boxes.

Mason is right with his advice though. Be warned!

If you fancied some Scum the Most Wanted box set is a good starting place with two z-95s and a Y-wing, all in Scum colour schemes.  They give you cards to convert Rebel Y-Wings to Scum too.

But, WHATEVER you do, don't pick up Armada, Assault, or Rebellion! NEVER EVER EVER.

TOLD you I loved the little space ships!  :D

They may not be on a leadpile but I still have some of my ships sealed in their boxes untouched....

Where did you get them? Were they cheap?

Not that I'm interested.  Nope. Not me. I don't need any more.

Though I still don't have any Rebel Y-Wings or a HWK. Or any of the cool Scum small ships.
