X-Wing Miniatures Game - Expansion Set 1

Fantasy Flight released the first wave of expansions for X-Wing simultaneously with the starter set. While two of the models are also in the starter set, all of the cards are new, so that means that there are lots of new pilots and upgrades!

The Big Gun in Wave 1 is the big man himself, the

Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader flying in his TIE Advanced X1.

The other new ship in this wave is the Y-Wing.

Yes, we get Dutch, but no Porkins. Somebody start an internet petition...

 

The expansion versions of the X-Wing and the TIE Fighter include 

new upgrades and pilots. Wedge is the big name here.

 The TIE pack includes 6 new pilots, with 3 unique ones...

 There is a lot of stuff included, and many hours of gaming ahead to figure out good combos of ships, pilots, and upgrades. And we are supposed to have Wave 2 by Christmas. Here's a few action shots to whet your appetite for more Star Wars...

 So get out there and get gaming!

Tannhäuser - RIP...

I have been madly crafting awesome stuff to screen in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con and missed this news - just saw it on Miah's site...

 FFG has announced that Tannhäuser is going on hiatus following the announced releases of the Union hero Edison, the Reich hero Frankenstahl, and the 2nd novel, "Operation: Night Eagle."

This is not a shock as I don't see the game on tables everywhere being played, but I am please they are going ahead with these last items. There really is a huge amount of stuff to play with for the game and I will enjoy it (as with Heroscape) for years to come.

Here are the final items to be released:
