So no large scum ship? Sadface. Not a big deal I guess, since my group hasn't tried epic yet.
Still, all about new Scum ships!

Apparently no mention of Armada Wave 3 at In Flight. There were some intimations of something FFG is not quite allowed to talk about yet causing a delay in the X-Wing cycle ... ahem Episode VII ... so maybe that's why. But I suspect FFG wants to announce something tomorrow as well so don't give up on it just yet!

It's pretty good.
And I'm actually nerding out a bit that they decided to put those ships into X-Wing. Might have to work on my rebel fleet after all!

Buying one of those would probably complete my collection as it's the only rebellion era EU ship left that I'm waiting for (although I'd jump at the chance for Legacy TIE Predators). This is actually the third small/medium wave that I have almost no interest in (my last ship purchase was the YT-2400). In any case, thanks for posting the update, Manchu.

I honestly could not be more excited about Wave VIII, especially Punishing One and Mist Hunter.
I really really hope FFG eventually puts out a campaign rulebook.

Must buy 5 more x-wing! Then probably 4 more after than then a wave of 6 just for fun......
I want to know what "Tractor beam" does... Does it ion a ship or stop it from maneuvering at all?

I must admit I'm not au fait with most of these, although there are some pretty nice designs. Quite clunky and 70's sci-fi looking, which I always think is Star Wars at its best.
Agent Kallus would be an auto-include in my force simply on account of those mutton chops !

Man, I'm not even mad that the Rebels are stealing the Nashtah Pup docking thing, because it's the Ghost/Phantom.
I AM mad that they get it for free and Scum are paying 6 points for an inferior version though.
Also a major WTF at that Punishing One title. WTF

Same. Man, Dengar's Pilot Ability is pretty nice. Extra attack each round if someone attacks you. Doesn't even have to be a primary weapon attack and he's got two torp slots.
Edit: his movement dial will especially be interesting considering his salvaged astromech slot!

Dengar is BRUTAL! I think he might be the best pilot that exists. That guy is foul. Give him a co-pilot for the re-rolled failed hits and his boosted attacks? Mother of God...just wrong.

They said that they'd have some kind of product out for Star Wars toy day (September 4th) according to Team Covenant's twitter. Hoping it's something X-Wing or Armada related.

Dengar's Pilot Ability makes Bossk's Crew card suddenly viable. Attack at your PS9, and if you miss you get a target lock and a focus token. If they attack back and are in your arc, you get a fully loaded attack back. Might stop some attacks entirely if they fear the reprisal shot enough.

Sounds pretty ... punishing.
YEEEEEEEAH! Automatically Appended Next Post: Courtesy of Crazy Carnifex: Okay, Here's a squint-at-the-screen breakdown for anyone who's eyes aren't as good as mine:
Ghost Pack
(VCX-100, Attack Shuttle)
Looks like a first for X-wing, with the ability to run named pilots on two different types of ships. It also looks like they all get a crew card as well. Hara at least gets two pilot cards, and since they both have identical pilot skills, I'm assuming the same goes for the PS3, 4, and 5 guys. Hara's VCX ability seems to key off of taking either green or red maneuvers, and looks like it allows you to rotate your dial to another maneuver with some shared trait (Colour? Speed? Bearing?). It is unclear if the Attack shuttle has the same or different pilot ability.
There's also a symbol in the Auxillary arc of the VCX- based off the phrasing of the Ghost/Phantom cards, I suspect that the Auxillary arc cannot be used if the Attack shuttle is not docked.
Finally, we see new turret, bomb set, and possibly elite pilot talent.
TIE Advanced Prototype
The TIE V-1 title is really good. For one point, you get the ability where, when you perform acquire a target lock, you get an evade token. This will key off of the new thread tracers, or just a normal target lock action. So while the Prototype Advanced doesn't get an evade action, it gets the token easily.
It also comes with a new modification, which also arrives with the Jumpmaster. It keys off of attacking with a missile secondary, and allows you to change a hit to something something primary something. Could this be a missile-based variant of the A4 title?
G1-A
Zuckuss lets you roll an additional attack die, but your opponent gets an additional defence die.
Title lets you barrel roll, but you must equip a tractor beam.

I probably shouldn't be surprised to see the Rebels stuff, yet I am. That Ghost is looking good, as is the Imperial Assault Cruiser.
