Star Wars X-Wing 1st Edition Miniatures Game B-Wing EXPANSION PACK - Mighty Assault Fighter! Strategy Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 14+, 2 Players, 30-45 Minute Playtime, Made by Atomic Mass Games

The Rebel Transport is not to be underestimated, and the X-Wings that come with it are no pushovers, either. Plus, it includes new Astromech droids which change the game for the Y-Wings and new torpedoes that work well in starfighter combat.Let's start with the Rebel Transport. After playing a few games with it (including one 150-point game of 2 X-Wings & a 50-point Rebel Transport build vs. 150 points of TIE Bombers, Fighters, and the Lambda Shuttle, in which the 2 X-Wings and Rebel Transport prevailed), I'm tempted to call it overpowered. No guns? It doesn't need guns to wreck TIEs, and its support abilities, when augmented, can provide devastating disabilities on enemies fleets. It's surprisingly versatile, so there are different ways to build the transport to fight against small and large ships--against both dozens of small TIEs and powerful Firesprays.I'm hoping to play with it more in the future, as it's an impressive and tough ship.As for the new X-Wing pilots, getting Wes into your squadron is critical. Wes' ability is to be reckoned with; a Wes + Veteran & Wedge + Opportunist can wreck the board, and I expect we'll be seeing that duo a lot. The fletchette torpedoes pave the way for the future of stress tokens, as the Rebel Transport has the means to both inflict stress tokens and deal damage to ships who have stress, and with Wave 4 coming soon, I'm sure we'll see new methods of dealing with and exploiting stress.Finally, the astromechs. These astromechs bring some interesting diversity, but I'm not sure that we'll see all of them in tournaments. They create new ways of handling (and sharing) stress, new mechanics for regenerating shields, and allow Y-Wings and X-Wings like Biggs and Garvin to finally get some Elite Pilot upgrades (Biggs + Draw their Fire perhaps? And giving Garvin some Veteran Instincts would allow better use of that focus token he gives).This new expansion is a game-changer. Get your own, soon! I've had so much fun with this one that I may get another.

I love these little relics.While SnV sees more use of them these days, Rebel's shouldn't disregard them even in the era of refits on A-Wings. Get your hands on a Guidance Chip cards and these (along with say Concussion, Cluster, certain homing missiles, etc.) become a dirt cheap missile boat, and are almost point effective enough to make ordinance worth it (and very much worth it in casual games).Plus, in a list you're really tight for points, these bottom end at like 12 points. TWELVE. Easiest full ship to fit in if you're trying to add some extra steel and shields to your list. Even the A-Wings only bottom with refit at fifteen.The model's nice too, FFG could have short changed it but instead, while not as impressive as the Black Sun Mafia paint job SnV gets in Most Wanted, the Rebel paint job is still okay. I've to own one or see one in a store with a bad cockpit factory paint job (a rare but occasional problem on a lot of the FFG X Wing minis), and the underwing missile launchers make it actually look pretty cool.

Finally we get to own and play the first ship we ever saw in the original Star Wars saga!First off, I can't figure out how they can mass produce ships like these! The model is beautifully detailed and fully playable in the X-Wing Miniatures Game. It's also an awesome display piece for my gaming room. It's not perfectly to scale with the other X-Wing ships, this is true, but it wouldn't be very playable if it had been, so they compromised to give us this amazing addition to the game!The ship comes with lots of bits and pieces, too. Some of the cards can even be used in the standard (IE not epic) games. The ship takes damage either to it's fore or aft sections, and is effectively still in the game until both sections have been destroyed. It has a primary weapon that also shoots further than anything else in the game!All told, this purchase has been a "no-brainer" for me personally. This ship is great eye candy, fun to play in the Epic Battles, and makes for a very nice "terrain piece" in standard games to mix things up a little.If you are looking to add some variety and spice to your games of X-Wing, you need this ship. If you collect Star Wars models, you need this ship! If you just want an amazing display piece for your den/man cave/ game room, etc - you need this ship!Trust me, yes it costs a bit more than the other X-Wing Miniatures ships/models do, but you get a lot for your money and Amazon has this available at an unbeatable price!

I bought this miniature as a display piece only. I do not play the board game at all. As a model builder and collector, I have long wanted decent models of Star Wars capital ships. Previously, models of this ship were only available as expensive resin kits. Now with this FFG release, we finally have an inexpensive and seemingly accurate Tantive IV model. The details of the model don't disappoint. It looks entirely proportional and it seems the designers have done their homework.However, I quickly realized that the rear of the model received a sub-par assembly job at the factory. The result was crooked and misaligned engines which really detract from the overall presentation of the ship. Unfortunately, the parts are all glued together quite well so disassembling the engine assembly (with the aim of reassembling everything properly aligned) will take some effort. The paint job is decent for something that is mass produced. I expect that pickier collectors would want to repaint theirs anyways.Overall this is a great addition to any star wars model collection. It is a shame that it suffers from some quality control issues. I have written to FFG to suggest this and their other larger gaming miniatures be converted to unassembled model kits. I know I can speak for the sci-fi modeling community when i say that they would be well recieved indeed. I know I'd snap them up in a heartbeat!

Excelente nave, aunque con el cambio de puntos ya no caben 4 y el pack de conversión solo trae lo necesario para dos naves es una excelente adición.

El diseño de las naves esta increíble, tienen detalles hasta en los lugares mas escondidos, son una cosa hermosa

Excelente, con detalles

Lo compre por que ya tenia adquirido el pack de actualizacion de a Xwing 2.0 y esta figura pese a que viene en el startup inicial para hacer mas formaciones son necesarias mas miniaturas.La calidad para colección es inigualable la de esta figura icónica de la saga,.

Excelente articulo es diferente a las de otras marcas y por el precio muy recomendable!.
