Well, we're coming up on the second anniversary of X-Wing this summer. Time to take stock of what you have and what you still want to get. As for me, I am crazy about this game and have bought into every wave at the pre-order stage plus adding between waves. Thinking about my current fleets, I can only say I'm very glad to see these Epic play rules. So here's what I have/have pre-ordered:

Rebels

- 7x X-Wings
- 4x Y-Wings
- 4x A-Wings
- 3x B-Wings
- 1x HWK-290
- 2x YT-1300
- 3x GR-75
- 1x CR90

On the way:
- 3x E-Wings
- 5x Z-95s

I intend to supplement this with three of the Rebel Aces packs as/when. I am also thinking of adding two more Y-Wings. Not sure about the HWK-290 and am sticking with one CR90 until the Imps get a huge ship. I will very likely get some more Z-95s eventually, as well.

Imperials

- 10x TIE Fighters
- 2x TIE Advanced
- 11x TIE Interceptors
-- 5x Regular
-- 3x Blood Striped
-- 3x Royal Guard
- 3x TIE Bombers
- 2x Firespray-31
- 1x Lambda Shuttle

On the way:
- 2x TIE Defenders
- 3x TIE Phantoms

Another three-ship flight of TIE Bombers and one more TIE Defender are on my wish list but I otherwise pretty satisfied with this collection. At most, I might add another two TIE Fighters. I am really hoping FFG will announce an Imperial huge ship at Origns or GenCon.

You are! The secret goal of this thread was to get you post your inventory so I would feel better about mine.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

I bought one, read through the scenario that requires three and bought two more. Fortunately, there is no similar multi-corvette scenario with the CR90.

I repainted each and every one of them... so, add that to the crazy, that should make you feel better lol

I'm going to send you the number of someone who can help.

Seriously, I can imagine having a 6 x 6 game sometime in the future if FFG gives us at least one huge Imperial ship.

Rebels:

4 X-wing
3 Y-wing
3 A-wing
2 YT-1300
3 B-Wing
3 HWK-290

Empire:

6 TIE-Fighters
3 TIE-Advanced
5 TIE-Interceptors (1 Aces set)
2 Firespray
2 Lambda
3 TIE-Bomber

3 each of the next wave on order and 1 rebel aces.

Those who have multiple Lambdas, any anecdotes/advice about running more than one? Same question for TIE Advanced and HWK-290s.

Rebels:
1x Millenium Falcon
5x X-Wings
3x Y-Wings
3x A-Wings
3x B-Wings
1x HWK-290
2x GR-75
1x CR90

Intent is to get another 3 X-Wings, 1 Y-Wing, 5 A-Wings, 5 B-Wings, 1 HWK-290, plus 4 E-Wings and 8 Z-95s.

Imperial:
1x Lambda Shuttle
1x Slave One

I'm not asking but I am wondering.

And what the heck are you doing with three TIE Advanced/going to do with four of them?

My list of crazy:

Rebel Scum:

4xA-Wings
5xB-Wings
2xHWK-290s
6xX-Wings

Its a fluff thing, the (old, now defunct) expanded universe states that both the imperials and the rebels fielded starfighters in squadrons of 12, broken down into three flights of 4. I don't really intend on collecting a full squadron of any of the fighters, but I will collect flights of them.

I don't even play imperials lol, I fielded my imps once (and I only used interceptors/bombers), my usual opponents all play almost strictly imperial only so I'm usually a rebel.

Funny, I am the almost the same. I have flown Imps maybe once or twice. I always prefer to play Rebs. I believe in the Republic!

In my case, I prefer the Imps, but thats because the only game I've ever actually won has been with them lol. Its super frustrating too, because I always start out absolutely dominating my opponent with rebels, and then by some mechanism things get turned around and I get caught on the back foot and can't recover.

Rebels:

4 x X-Wings
2 x B-Wings
1 x Y-Wing
1 x A-Wing
1 x HWK290
1 x YT-1300
1 x CR90
1 x GR-75
1 x E-Wing (came 1st at the Indvaar tournament! - huzzah)

Pre-order:

3 x Z95 (suspect I'll need one more - quite like the idea of Etahn A'Baht & 4 Z-95's carrying cluster missiles)
Rebel aces

Imperials:

5 x Tie Fighter
3 x Interceptors
1 x Tie Advanced
1 x Tie Bomber
1 x Lambda Shuttle
1 x Firespray

Pre-order:

1 x Tie Defender
1 x Tie Phantom

Origins is next week! Also my vacation. Hadn't thought about them previewing anything there but now I'm hoping. Out of total curiosity, with the restrictions that are placed on how many ships you can take in epic play have you regretted/wish you hadn't bought/second guessed any of your inventory? Also curious why you'd want a second CR90, just for casual? I try to maximize the efficiency of what I can afford and store while still being a completionist so curious to understand the mindset is all. Here's mine after nine months, again trying to complete a collection while being able to support two players in standard play, quite satisfied:

<>REBEL ALLIANCE
5x X-wing [1 transport custom, was unexpected]
2x Y-wing
2x A-wing
2x B-wing
1x HWK-290
1x YT-1300
1x GR-75 Transport
>>>Projected
1x CR-90 Corvette
2x E-Wing
2x Z-95 (initially, two more expected at least)
2x Rebel Aces
1x YT-2400 (I can Dream)

<>IMPERIAL FORCES
8x TIE Fighters
6x TIE Interceptors (Includes two Imperial Aces)
2x TIE Bombers
1x TIE Advanced
1x Firespray-31
1x Lambda Class
>>>Projected
1x TIE Advanced
2x TIE Defender
2x TIE Phantom

Epic allows up to 12 of a single small type and 6 of a large ... so no regrets so far as I have not gone over caps.

As to having >1 CR90, I plan to play X-Wing into my dotage and that means scenario and campaign play or yes I guess what is called "casual" play (as if competitive play was more "serious" ).

I feel like such an amateur...

2 X-Wings
1 Y-Wing
1 A-Wing
1 YT-1300

5 TIE Fighters
2 TIE Advanced
1 TIE Bomber

Quick, stop me before it get sucked in with you guys!

Been thinking of getting into it. There is a store near me with the base set at $35. So I guess my fleet is 0 x anything atm.

Everyone in this thread, I know it's cliched, but I think we all need to say it:

"Hi, my name is Crazy_Carnifex, and I'm an Xaholic"

Also, we need a better term for it.

I think X-aholic is pretty good, actually.

Ahtman, you should get into this if for no other reason than because you have an interest in design.

Hi, Crazy_Carnifex!

You're only an X-aholic if it's a problem. I don't have a problem.

Unfortunately I can't link the PinsofWar Comic here...but needless to say with a lot of us 'Mistakes were made.'

My signature says it all! Except the on order of:

(4) Z-95 Headhunters
(2) E-wings
(1) TIE Phantom
(2) TIE Defenders

I also have to concur with the prior sentiment of wanting to order certain ships in groups of 4 for a 'Flight', very rare ships in 'Elements' of 2...and the staple ships of at least 12. I also can't wait for more huge ships, love my CR90.

Steady growing...


REBELS
11 X-Wings (Red1-6) +8

The stuff marked with () are repaints.
The stuff marked with + are ships I am trading for/have ordered, and are just waiting for in the mail.
Working on repaints for a few of the incoming ships, such as the Blue marked YT1300 I see all over the webz, horton salam's y-wing, painting the +2 cr90 as the Masanya and the Razor (from the old pocket model game), a royal lambda shuttle...among others.
I've also been commissioned to do some fun repaints based on famous TV vehicles. first few...a Starsky and Hutch X-Wing, a General Lee X-Wing, a A-Team YT1300.

One day, I will take pics of these ships with something other than my phone... -

Not much but then again this is my fleet after 2 weeks, not 2 years.

Hi, my name is Steelmage99, and I am an X-aholic.

Hi Steelmage99. You're safe here. Your wallet, however, is not. So what will be your next acquisition?

Having filled two cases, I'm now requiring a third. Thought I'd better pimp them out a bit so I can tell them apart. This morning's efforts...

Looking awesome! I also use KR cases and that seems like a very good idea.

That's awesome Eggs, with your eerily similar collection. What did you do to get the transfers?

Not to derail here, but I have a question about those cases! Thanks to some help from MT11, I've started my journey into this game!
How many ships will each of those cases hold? What size ships will it hold? I appreciate any intel!

Back on topic:

Rebs:
2 - X wings
2 - Y wings

Imps:
4 - Ties

Monday I'll be receiving 2 Tie advanced, 1 more Tie and 1 more x - wing.

You can get a whole range of custom foam trays to match your fleet. The most they will hold is 40 standard fighters, but you can mix and match trays to suit your needs.

Here are some, but you can see them all on their website (kr multicase)

The transfers are vinyl decals. A guy on ebay sells them quite cheap. I was ten quid to do both cases front, back and sides. They seem like they'll take a kicking too.

Thanks for the fast reply eggs, cheers!
I really like those KR cases, so far from what I've seen.
I like some of the home brew cases I've seen, but KR seems the best imho.

The big advantage I think they have is that all the small ships are stored fully assembled. I've now started storing the relevant movement dial and id tokens in the same slot too, so setting up for a game takes seconds. Seems more sensible than constructing and deconstructing them every time you want to play. With two cases, and the list I stated earlier in the thread, I still have room for the wave 4 and rebel aces stuff. Just need a third for the huge ships.

That's my biggest complaint about the other storage systems I've seen. I love the idea of having the tokens with the assembled ships!

I full admit that I have no right to question people's collections given just how much 40K stuff I have, but from all I know about this game I find it strange that people own so many duplicate items. I mean, most games seem to have a total of 6-8 units per side. Why would you need more than 1 Lambda? Is there ever a point where you'll field 11 X-Wings? 6 TIE Advanced's?

Just seems odd to me.

I only have a small collection, but here is my take on that. It's a couple of factors:

1) Playing multiple games: If you have a couple of friends it would let you share.
2) Playing Epic games: There are now an "official" ruleset that lets you play games with up to 12 of the small ships at a time.
3) I'm guessing one of the more frequent reasons: Each individual ship comes with a small selection of upgrade cards, but these cards can be used on many different ships. So if you like a particular upgrade you will need to purchase multiples of the same ships so that can place them on the different ships that you are actually playing with.
4) Probably the least frequent reason: You are crazy like MajorTom. It's not enough to just put down an X-Wing and say that he is Luke Skywalker. You need the exact X-Wing for each possible pilot because when Luke Skywalker is on the board he is flying in Luke Skywalker's X-Wing!

Epic rules let you fly up to 12 of each type of ship. Also, even in a standard game, you can fly usually at least 4 of a given type. 4 lamdas is a thing I've seen. It's actually the list with the most hull and shields available.

Also, just because. :p

It's even simpler than that. If you want to field every possible list, then you need a certain amount of each ship minimum. 5 YTs. 4 Xwing. 8 Tie. 2 Falcon. 3 e-wing yadayada.

Same reason you have more than 2000 pts for 40k. Difference, almost everything is fun in x-wing, unlike 40k where not every unit is useful and you would never even be able to take an army of 1 single unit type (well, use to anyways lol). Games are short and quick at 100 pts... so any combo you want available just keeps things fresh and fun, and you can get through a surprising amount of 'goofy' and serious lists.

All D-Usa's reasons also apply, but ultimately main reasons are lists and cards.

Also, to point number 4, you confused crazy with effin awesome .

I'd like to get some more Ys and As, and try to do a "Hot & Cold" concept-list with slow Y-Wings plodding forward and fast A-Wings running in circles.
An Imperial TIE Bomber-list is also looking interesting to me.

And, of course, as soon as wave 4 comes out in stores I'll be getting all of them, plus enough Headhunters to do a Rebel Swarm.

Multiple Lambdas is actually a thing. Some folks are crazy enough to run 4 of them, say with Captain Yorr chewing on stress while they just outlast everything else with 20 shield and 20 hull. On top of that, people want to grab multiple Rebel Captives or Advanced Sensors.

X-Wing and Interceptor proliferation in my case is just from accumulation. I have 2 from Core sets, one X-Wing pack and another X-Wing from the GR-75. I played 4 Interceptor builds long before the Imperial Aces came out, so now I have 6.

11 X-Wings and 6 Advanced is rather silly though

This was one of those clever marketing things you have to give credit for. And to start off I want to say I have no complaints with it (other than the Stealth device only having one source and that being the Firespray mostly because I want two but am not sure I'd ever play with the second ship). The game "looks" cheap at first glance, especially if you like the basic X-Wing or Tie Fighters, but then you start reading about common pairings and to take a recently posted example you think "I want to run Luke, Wedge, and Biggs, and I have 3 X-Wings from buying 2 Core and and an expansion, but people say Biggs should get a Stealth device." And then you're buying a Firespray. "And I should also think about a basic R2 and Push the Limit for Wedge." There is a Y-Wing and either Imperial Aces or an A-Wing. "Luke would really do well with a Shield upgrade too." Falcon or Aces again.

You collection really does grow pretty quick when you have scenarios like the above.

And this is why I have not gotten into this game. I would being buying more and more of the models just because they did a really good job on them and they look cool. I wouldn't even need to play the game.

Is there some sort of FFG police out there hunting people who don't have all the cardboard bitz for upgrades they're using? I just print my list off of that nice online fleet builder thing and don't even bother with the cards. I need to know if I have to barricade my house.

Casual games? No problem I would think.
Groups? Don't know how groups handle that kind of thing.
Official Tournaments? Actual cards required.

Tom, is that one of those 3D printed YT-2000s or is that just a modified model from X-wing? Daddy likey!

Modified model from X-wing

Agreement/response to Derek:

With the exceptionally rare instance of stealth device or advanced sensors, there is in my mind no draw back for buying two of any ship that comes in a blister and one of each ship that comes in a box and two again of each 'Aces' box, and exactly no more than that. But from my paradigm it hasn't been 'I buy this expansion to get upgrade xyz, I get it so that I can have that ship.' It just so happens that there are awesome toys in each box that give new life to my previous expansions. Like...

Me: I bought a core set! Yay!
FFG: Thank you! Here's two of the most commonly used X-wing pilot cards and an awesome Droid!
Me: Sweet! I like this game and I want the Falcon!
FFG: Cool! Here's absolutely everything you need for that, and some cool stuff for Luke to be awesome with!
Me: Neat! I'm getting Slave I now to fight the rebels back!
FFG: Great! Here's all that you need for that, you can use stuff from the YT-1300 you bought before, and as a bonus here's something awesome for Biggs and other ships that like agility if you ever buy those!
Me: YAAAAY!

In conclusion, I've never felt or seen anyone feel required to buy an FFG X-wing product for just specific pieces of it. I only see them being well compensated for their investment while hosing out the power buyer by making the game so balanced that buying all the 'best' ships in multiples doesn't actually serve any great in-game purpose. And honestly how often does a game do that? Any more in magic for instance out of a 250 card set or close to, there may be half a dozen cards that support or revitalize a card from years ago, sometimes on purpose, more often on accident I'd wager. So like 2% of a set help the existing while building on the recent and doing its own thing at the same time? FFG, I applaud you yet again, as you pull closer to like 50%. And it looks that way in every game I've seen of theirs. Skinner box? Maybe. But it's the best and most equitable one I've ever seen, so I'll keep pecking away. (Side note, just started playing their game 'Descent', and it's awesome!)

Glorious Imperial Navy:

4x Tie Fighters
4x Tie Interceptors

1x Y-Wing
1x B-Wing
1x HWK 290
1x YT-1300

Pending ("ALL THE Z-95s!, according to her, 1x E-Wing)

I think my 4 Tie Fighter, 2x Interceptor lists drove her a little insane, and now she needs to out-spam me. To compensate, I'm going to run a 100pt 2 ship Imperial squadron.

Hwks 4
Republic corvette 1 (not x wing)
B wings 4
Y wings 3

Tantive Iv 1

Want

1 x wing (transport)
Transport



Imperials


Tie fighters 8 (2 expansion, 3 core)

After that will be after 1 more transport, 4 more z95, 1 e wing, 3 defender, 1 phantom.

Then we'll see what's released

Tom your repaints are unreal!

Though I need a bit of an explanation, why the two size A-Wings? One is from WOTC?

Yeah, the FFG A-wings are out of scale (to the eye if you look at the movies, the a-wings are barely bigger than the cockpit area of a Y-wing. Some people go nuts on the 'official measurement' though so YMMV), so being OCD prone I wanted them to match better, and found the WOTC one to be of adequate detail and sizing...

Thanks for looking

I like that you repainted your various Ties to grey. I know the blue is accurate but growing up, they have always been grey in my mind, especially since I played the X-Wing games a lot.

Your custom YTs are my favorite. I can't wait to see what you do with the YT-2400.

I have....

5 X-wings (1 Bacta War Wedge, 2 core, 1 expansion, 1 transport)
1 Y-wing
3 B-wing
2 A-wing
1 HWK-290
1 YT-1300
1 GR-75 (plus a spare hull undergoing lighting/painting to become Grond, Hammer of the Rebellion)
1 CR-90

on order: 2 E-wing, 1 Z-95

7 TIE fighters
3 TIE interceptors
1 TIE advanced
2 TIE bombers
2 Lambdas
2 Firesprays

On order: 2 Interceptors (Imperial Aces), 2 TIE defenders, 1 TIE Phantom.

Pic of Bacta War Wedge?

I'll try to get a decent pic up by the weekend.

Well i only just started this game just under a week ago and played my first games on sat only at 50-70 points for learning.

So far only have

2 X-wings
1 A-wing

me and my brother split a core box and got a couple of more models each to see if we liked the game which we do and we will expand.

My next planed purchases or the next few weeks will be 1 or 2 B-wings and a HWK after that will be a falcon. once these are rounded out ill look into getting some imp's.

Sorry its not the most exciting list

In a way, it is the most exciting list! There is nothing more exciting then discovering a game that you really like and really want to play.

Well after one whole game, my grand total is four TIE Fighters - but hopefully that will expand very soon!!

YAY! Two new players...Yisss, they will be powerful allies...Hehehehe

So Squadron Builder put Dash Rendar in the system and I was playing around when I realized

<>Dash Rendar
-->Outrider
-->Ion Cannon
-->Push the Limit
-->Kyle Katarn(Rebel Aces)
Total = 50pts

So on your turn you can still translate your position about 4 with a '1' maneuver and Barrel Roll, (most likely, have to see the YT-2400 dial) get a Focus token, then Target Lock and re-Stress. And not care about obstacles all the while and shoot 360 no-scope. I think Kyles upgrade card is going to see some heavy use here. I am only curious about the weapon choice. The Heavy Laser is sweet and fluffy but not being able to shoot at range 1 could be problematic.

Hmm let's see

Imperial:
Lambda
Firespray
4 ties
5 Interceptors (2 Aces)
3 bombers
3 Advances
and a CR90 (because dakka)

Rebels
2 x-wings
Y-wing
HWK
and two uglies

My friends and I play with a third faction of pirates with access to a bit of both lists. Now that I think about it I do need to make up that deathseed...

My fleets so far:

Rebels:

1 x YT-1300 (at least going to get a 2nd and maybe a 3rd for cards)
3 x GR 75 (couldn't help it, the scenario required three dammit!)
1 x CR90
3 x Y-Wing (at least getting 1 more if not 2)
2 x A-Wing (will be getting at least 2 more from 2 Rebel Aces sets)
7 x X-Wing (3 from core sets, 3 from the transports, and one expansion)

I will definitely be picking up a HWK and probably a couple YT-2400 when they come out.

I may be alone in this, but I hate the B-Wing. There I said it. I will probably be trading/selling the ones I get from Rebel Aces away.

Imperials:

1 x Lambda (will probably be picking up 2-3 more of these)
2 x Firespray (may pick up a 3rd)
3 x Tie Bomber (will probably pick up 3 more)
3 x Tie Interceptor (2 from Imp Aces, 1 Expansion, will definitely be getting more of these!)
1 x Tie Advanced (will pick up at least 1 more if not 2)
7 x Tie Fighters (6 from core sets, 1 expansion, will pick up at least 5 more of these)

I will probably pick up at least 1 Tie Defender for the cards, but I dislike the model. I'll probably pick up 2-3 Phantoms as well. I'll probably also be picking up at least 1 Decimator just to have if nothing else.

I accidentally added another imperial aces yesterday...

After playing my first demo game by a friend with a large collection on 31 May, i went out straight away and purchased the Core Set and Tie Advanced and an additional X-Wing

Fathers Day i also got an A-Wing


The club i play has Imperial players, and if it was up to me, i'd probably play Imperial, so im going to build as strong a Rebel force, to get plenty games under my belt and then expand to the Imperials.

So:

Rebel:

2 X-Wing
1 A-Wing

Imperial
2 Tie Fighters
1 Tie Advanced

Next Purchase:

B-Wing - Still unavailable at local retailer.
Y-Wing - Purchased on 21 June - first run out 25 June

As promised!



I'd hoped to put gold squadron marks on the wings, but...I don't have a great track record for picking up projects that I've already put down.

Imperials

5 Tie Fighters
2 Tie Interceptors
2 Tie Bombers
1 Tie Advanced
1 Imperial Shuttle
1 Firespray (Slave I)

Rebels

3 X Wings
2 Y Wings
2 B Wings
1 A Wing (soon to be rectified )
1 YT1300 (1 Millenium Falcon)

My collection is basically aimed at 100 point games, so trying not to own any more ships than is needed for this purpose.

Accidentally added another core set and two bombers yesterday. That's me got everything I want of the current stuff.

For UK xwingers, chaos cards currently has the core set at £19.99

Brings my fleet to:

Rebels

6 X wings (including the transport repaint)
5 Z 95 headhunters
2 Y wings
2 HWK
3 B wings
2 E wings
2 A wings
1 YT1300
1 GR75
1 Corvette

(Will add 2x Rebel aces and the yt2400)

Imperials

10 Tie Fighters
2 standard interceptors
4 interceptors from imperial aces
2 advanced
4 bombers
2 phantom
2 defenders
1 Firespray
1 shuttle

(will add the decimator and any Huge ships that are revealed)

Went on a spending spree over the weekend and vastly bulked up my fleet.

Rebels

X-Wings x3
Y-Wings x2
B-Wings x2
A-Wings x2
Z-95 Headhunters x2
HWK x1
YT1300 x1

Imperials

Tie Fighters x5
Tie Interceptors x5
Tie Advanced x1
Tie Bombers x2
Tie Phantom x2
Tie Defender x1
Shuttle x1
Firespray x1

Contemplated picking up the huge ships but it seems like everyone else has them. Plus dropping all that cash at one time made me wince a little.

Well, not 2 years since I'm a newb...but after 2 months I've managed:
4 x X-Wing
3 x Z-95
2 x Y-Wing
1 x B-Wing
1 x YT-1300

and
2 x Tie (the original starter box).
I'll likely get another B next payday...and maybe 2 more Z's.

These lists are looking impressive, most impressive.

Gonna resurrect this a bit...

Been playing for about 2 months now. The first month I maintained a fleet of about 7 ships... then I stumbled upon MajorTom's fleet, and looking at the size of it made something click in my head. Fast forward a month and I'm not sure if I love or hate MajorTom yet...



Imperials
12 Interceptors
13 Fighters
5 Advanced
3 Bombers
3 Defenders
5 Phantoms
4 Firesprays
2 Lambdas

Rebels
12 X-Wings
8 A-Wings
8 Z-Wings
6 Y-Wings
5 B-Wings
3 E-Wings
3 HWK's
3 Falcons
1 Transport
1 Corvette

You can make 100 pts lists with only one type of ship and still have some left over. Is there a point to that?

Not at all. I tend to play large games at my FLG (between 150-300), so I suppose it has some point in that regard. But alas, it is nothing more than an unhealthy addiction... and I totally blame MajorTom for it

Wow...

In 2 years all I've got to show for it is:

Rebels
1 X-Wing

Imperial
1 Boba Fett's Salve 1
1 Tie Advances
5 Tie Fighters
1 Tie Bomber
2 Tie Interceptors (Imperial Aces)
2 Tie Defenders
2 Tie Phantoms
1 Shuttle

Looking forward to expanding rebels with the Headhunter, it brings back fond memories from Star Wars Galaxies piloting the biggest piece of crap in the Galaxy. All hail the Rebellion... Also the Falcon, and maybe a couple b-wings.

Also Decimator looks pretty cool too, I'd like to have that with my imps asap!

Also going to try my hand at custom painting since my Shuttle was pretty much dunked in black wash and left there apparently.

Just started about 2 months ago. I currently have:
1 YT-1300
1 GR-75
4 X-wings
1 A-wing
1 B-wing
1 Y-wing
1 HWK-290
1 Z-95
1 ace A & B-wing inbound (on the boat - pre-order)

5 TIEs
3 TIE interceptors (2 aces, 1 standard)
2 TIE bombers
2 TIE advanced
1 TIE defender
1 TIE phantom
1 Firespray

Imperial Forces:

9 TIE Fighters
6 TIE Interceptors
3 TIE Bombers
1 TIE Advanced
3 TIE Defenders
2 Lambda Shuttles
1 Slave 1

Future additions:

3 TIE Phantoms
3 TIE Bombers
2 Imperial Aces packs
1 VT-49 Decimator

Rebel Forces:

3 X Wings
3 A Wings
3 B Wings
1 Millennium Falcon
1 HWK-290

Future additions:

3 E Wings
3 X Wings
3 Y Wings
2 Rebel Aces Packs
3 Z95 Headhunters
1 YT-2400

After 2 years, I downsized.
I now only have a Falcon and Slave 1 model.

I gave the dice, all the other ships, markers, counters and templates to other guys who actively played it. It's a nice game - but way too simple for my liking.

That's a shame. I find each wave adds another layer of complexity.

Got two new ships, which slowly builds up my collection:

3 X-Wings
1 Y-Wing
1 A-Wing
1 YT-1300

5 TIE Fighters
2 TIE Advanced
1 TIE Interceptor
1 TIE Bomber

The TIE Bomber was a random purchase, but I'm just slowly trying to build up my list by completing the waves as they were released. So I still need the Slave-1 to catch up with Wave 2. My next planned purchase will be that and then one more TIE Interceptor, and then I'm thinking about getting another Y-Wing and A-Wing and the Imperial Aces to round out the Interceptors.

I just started this game literally today. Sorry for the bump but here are my forces as of this minute:

Imperials:

3 Tie Fighters
2 Tie Bombers
2 Tie Defenders
3 Tie Interceptors (2 from Aces)
3 Tie Phantoms
1 Shuttle
1 Firespray

Rebels:

1 X-Wing

Ordering next week:

2 Shuttles
2 Firespray
1 Advance
2 Imperial Aces

I hate this game, it is freaking addicting and amazing all wrapped up in a ball of awesome.

Wow three shuttles?!

I really really like the model. There is no tactical reason for it in my designs.

Flying Toaster wrote:

and yet a shuttle heavy or all shuttle list is quite playable. You going to paint any differences on them?

Imperials:

5 TIE Fighters
3 TIE Interceptors (incl Imperial Aces)
3 TIE Bombers
1 TIE Advanced
1 Lambda-class shuttle


Rebels:

3 X-wings
1 Y-Wing
2 A-Wings (incl rebel Aces)
2 B-Wings
1 E--Wing
1 HWK-290

Finally got my Z-95 squad up to eight and filled out my Defender squad of three. I will probably get another HWK-290 tomorrow and am going out for a second Lambda this evening.

Next up -- 3x Rebel Aces, Decimator, and Outrider. I am wondering whether I should go ahead and get two YT-2400s or what.

I've pre-ordered two rebel aces, a decimator and an outrider. It's nice to finally have caught up with the previous waves, and be pre-ordering stuff. (Means I can start padding out my infinity stuff in time for third edition.) Always too many shinies, and not enough monies!

I remember fondly preordering the original core set, and one of each Wave 1 ship. At the time I had been a fan of Wings of Glory and had a leg up on knowing, in broad strokes, I would enjoy the game (and LOVE the setting).

Long story short... I began the guy in the now famous X-wing Miniatures Game comic strip.

http://direman.com/direman/comics/00001066.png

Mistakes were made... and now, despite having once sold off my entire collection (due to sheer stupidity on my part), I have re-built it to this...

Rebels:
- X-wing x4 (Two starter, one blister, one Rebel Transport)
- Y-wing x1
- B-wing x3 (Two blisters, one Rebel Aces)
- A-wing x2 (One blister, one Rebel Aces)
- Hwk 290 x1
- Z-95 Headhunter x2
- E-Wing x1
- YT-2400 x1
- Tantive/CR-90 Epic Ship x1
- Rebel Transport Epic Ship x 1

Imperials:
- Tie Fighter x6 (Four starter, two blister)
- Tie Advanced x1
- Tie Interceptor x3 (One blister, two Imperial Aces)
- Tie Bomber x2
- Tie Defender x1
- Tie Phantom x2
- Slave One x1
- Lambda Shuttle x1
- VT-49 Decimator x1

Updated

Rebels

2x YT-1300
4x X-Wing
2x B-Wing
2x Y-Wing
1x A-Wing

Transport

Imperial

1x Lambda Shuttle
2x Firespray-31
7x TIE Fighter
4x TIE Interceptor

2x TIE Defender


Not much but then again this is my fleet after 2 weeks, not 2 years.

Hi, my name is Steelmage99, and I am an X-aholic.

LOL just went and picked my second shuttle. Oh dear ...

 Manchu wrote:

But...where is your third?

Seriously, Soontir + 3 Shuttles is something I'm dying to run.

Leave me alone! I already have three transports!

How will you shuttle the crew to the transports!

They will have to arrange for their own accommodations.

Currently:
3 X
2 Y
3 A
3 B
1 Z
2 HWK
1 YT

5 TF
3 TI
2 TA
2 TD
3 TB
1 Firespray
1 Lambda

Later this month as a Birthday gift, I'm picking up:
Transport
2 Rebel Aces
2 Imperial Aces
1 Z
2 E
1 TD
1 TP

Out of curiosity, what is with all the 'but you can only use x many of those ships in your 100 point squad' posts? Does nobody play more than 100 pt games? I've actually only ever played 200 pts...

I only play 100 points. Perhaps later in my X-Wing "career" I'll try bigger games.

Sure, I can only use X ships per game, but I have 40+ lists printed out that I am looking to try (both Rebel and Imperial).

Nice lots everyone!

For me

5x Interceptors (2x Royal Guard)
1x Tie Fighter
1x Firespray
1x Bomber
1x Defender

Want
1x Tie Fighter
2x Phantoms
1x Decimator

I want more Interceptors because I love them but between my friend's and my fleet we have 12.

Double core
A-wing
2 B-Wing
X-Wing
3 Y-Wing
Falcon

2 Tie
2 Tie Advanced
1 Tie Interceptor
1 Tie Bomber

Plus battlefoam and a 6x4 F.A.T. mat


Wow... I'm a bit Rebel lopsided.

EDIT
Miniature Market has Z-95's as their Deal of the Day today... (8-15-2014) If you are interested, I just got 3 of them.

1 Xwing
1Falcon
1 Awing
1Bwing
1 Ywing

Well seeing as I've been eyeing this game for a while, and after all my scale bitching in the Armada thread, I decided to jump in on X-Wing. Specifically for the TIE fighters.

Specifically the FLGS was Static Games. Really chilled and friendly staff. They brought up more X-Wing stock for me to riffle through and they had a decent amount. Definitely recommend if your in the area. Also they have an online shop as part of the larger business so definitely worth checking out. I think the discounts are only in the shop itself, but the online store seems pretty well stocked.

Went down to a FLGS in Glasgow today to have a look at the stuff in person. To my surprise and pleasure most of the TIE variants were reduced by about 20-30%. They didn't have the starter set sadly so I went a bit ham on TIEs.

4* TIE Fighters
2* TIE Interceptors
1* TIE Bomber
1* TIE Defender

I'm sure that I won't be able to use all of this at once but felt that it would be a healthy base to start out some various TIE fighter heavy lists.

Still want to get a few more of each type because I just love these little ships.

Ordering the starter set and probably will get Slave 1/Firespray and some Phantoms at some point.

Also just because this has been playing in my head from driving home.

Nerding out big time.

EDIT:
Since posting the Starter has been ordered. Along with a couple of Phantoms and another Defender.

Oh and Slave I just because.

This is some kind of crack isn't it? I... I... just couldn't stop.

Its more "crack" than you think mate. I have at least two of most everything (and some things I have 4-6 of) and yet I still buy something on a whim, for no good reason.

During GenCon, all the X-wing hype had me wanting something, so when my ninja grabbed me a Decimator and Falcon, I also had him get me another Tie Defender and X-wing.... why? I have no idea. :-p

HYPE!

Lets just say...

Many mistakes may have been made.



I was going through my collection to make sure I hadn't lost any stands, or picked up any belonging to someone else or the like.

There's a guy at my FLGS, no joke, who has a collection like the pic above, but when spread out, completely covers a 6x4 gaming table at that density.

I can't even imagine why.

Plastic crack.

Around then I realize that my collection keeps creeping up in size too. :-p

There's some truly terrifying pictures on the X-Wing UK facebook group. Truly terrifying,

It's certainly worrying... hopefully get a wee picture up in the middle of the week when the rest of my stuff arrives....

Slight OT: But I take it Attack Wing runs of the same rules, more or less?

It's the same core rules system (The Flightpath System), which was designed by Fantasy Flight Games, then licensed out. - Which is why we're getting D&D Attack Wing soon too.

The way I see it, while very similar games, X-Wing appeals closer to those who prefer much of the game being about the manoeuvres than the specific fleet build. - Normally I've found, you pick a squad your comfortable with and experienced flying it, you can do ok against something awesome (although, I've not flown against a Phantom yet...) So, the game may appeal more to the wargamer side of people.

Attack Wing on the other hand, it's very much about how your fleets built, how your cards interact with each other, with piloting skill more being focussed about getting the right card interactions into place at the right time. So... This game may be more appealing to card gamers (EG MTG), than wargamers (EG, Warhammer).

So, Attack Wing, you'll usually have 1-3 ships in a normal game. 4 if you MASSIVELY push it. X-Wing, it's usually well, 3-6, 8 if you go all TIEs.


There's only a handful of properly different rules in the game. - For example, the Bank Moves in X-Wing are of a shorter distance than Attack Wings. Also, a big change is if you 'bump' in Attack Wing, you still get to fire, even though you lose your action.

Aside from that, the rules are very similar indeed

2 starters and 1 of every expansion pack minus the 2 big rebel ships.

Rebels;

3x X-Wings
Millennium Falcon

Imperials;

5x TIE Fighters
1x TIE Advanced
1x Slave 1.

Planning on adding one of everything else just to see how things go before bulking out on ones we like. All started with the idea of being able to do a Trench Run...

Everything on the table is mine and represents less than half of my collection.



Yes, that orkmoticon represents the maniacal cackle of a deranged addict.

Not the largest fleets, but still a little jealousy inducing.





I now wish I'd grabbed an Outrider, too.

Well, thanks to Miniature Market putting up pre-orders for Wave 6, I now also own...

2x "Most Wanted" (2 Y-wings, 4 Z-95s)
2x IG-2000
2x Syck Interceptor
2x Star-Viper

This game is absolutely plastic crack. Between this pre-order, and Gen-con I have managed to spend another $300 on this game this month, despite just spending $120 or so last month on Wave 4.

My fleet over the last two years is actually only my fleet over the last 6 months, however I now currently own the following.

Imperial:

- 7x TIE Fighters
- 3x TIE Interceptors
- 2x TIE Phantoms
- 2x Firespray-31's
- 1x TIE Advanced
- 1x TIE Bomber
- 1x TIE Defender
- 1x Lambda Class Shuttle

Rebel:

- 4x X-Wings
- 1x Headhunter
- 1x YT-1300

Decimator and Rebel Aces are next on my list, which also consists of several hundred in more Rebels, more Empire, and a lot of Scum, all of which may be inclusive of 3 more Shuttles.

Update time... my X-wing collector psychosis continues... All pre-wave 4 stuff in hand, the rest pre-ordered and just waiting for it to release... sigh... anyone want to play x-wing apocalypse?

Rebels

- 9x X-Wings
- 6x Y-Wings
- 7x A-Wings
- 6x B-Wings
- 2x HWK-290
- 3x YT-1300
- 3x GR-75

- 4x TIE Advanced
- 10x TIE Interceptors (4x Regular 4x Blood Striped (2 of which are in a black stealth scheme) 2x Royal Guard)
- 4x TIE Bombers
- 3x Firespray-31
- 3x Lambda Shuttle
- 2x Decimator
- 3x TIE Defenders
- 3x TIE Phantoms

Scum
- 2x y-wing
- 4x z95
- 4x IG2000
- 3x Interceptor
- 3x StarViper
- 1x Firespray


Another batch of custom tokens in the cooker too, this time with cloaking and energy tokens, as well as personal re-designs for all bomb tokens.... and 3 ultrapro side sleeve leather binders (which work really well for all the cards btw guys, much easier to choose things when you can see it all very very quickly).

4x IG-2000s?!

Yessir... Apparently there are 4 assassin droid pilots sharing a networked mind in the fluff, IG88 being one of them... The interesting thing is... For every ig2000 on the table with one of the four pilots, the next on gets to share its pilot card abilities in addition to their own.... 4 IG2000's equals crazy buffed ships... What exactly those abilities are is still unknown, but the stacking of up to four is confirmed.

They're all IG-88. They're known as IG-88A through IG-88D, the one that showed up on the Executor was B.

You will never fit all four in a standard list though. Cheapest one is 36pts.

Spot on, I forgot how they were designated specifically but yes that is correct!

True... but... I only play with friends, and there is both epic and +100 point games in the non-tourney world! Sometimes I like taking nonsense lists, all interceptor, all a-wing, all defender just to get a feel for the individual ships too. Still, my (enabling, nonsensical) rational is that if there is a rule for it, or a list that can be made out of it at the 100 pt level, I will get every possible permutation... so, though it doesn't fit in 100pts, there is a rule for 4 of them being on the table, hence the purchase.

I didn't say it was smart lol!



I had a PM from Eldarain about the Binders I mentioned, I thought I would just answer generally here (and possibly I or someone could add it to the resources sticky if you guys try it and like it)

These are the type of binders I was refering to -

http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-PRO-BINDER-Leatherette-Sideloading/dp/B004FVJDV2



1 will likely be more than enough to hold every single card you own for x-wing and still have half of it left over. This includes upgrade cards, and even damage (though I don't really see the use of putting damage decks in a binder). There is plenty of room. Each page is side mounting and I have yet to have any issues with anything falling out. I stacked some of my generics 3 deep and had no issue with it, or with 1 single card. Each slot can fit 2 upgrade cards side to side, up to 3-4 deep too. I even put my mission specific tokens and bombs in the sleeves to keep them easily sortable, and it worked no problem.

I did hear that it is possible that the slightly textured surface could damage the cards if they are put in unsleeved, but everything I had was sleeved with ffg grey and yellow anyways so I never tried it without.... you are still going to be picking up and handling the cards after, so you would kind want them to be protected out of the binder anyways right?

Anyways, having them sorted in the binder makes choosing ships and upgrades soooooo much faster for me and my friends, we usually just decide on the spot what we will do and it really, really helps. It also helps cleanup too. Strong recommend from me, as i said, don't worry about space, 1 book alone would do it, I got 3, just for convenience, 1 rebel, 1 imperial, 1 scum/epic/misc tokens... not vital but it helps to have each player able to browse at once.

Hope that helps!

Thank you for the detailed review. It looks fantastic for both organization and list making.

Ultra Pro do make some nice stuff for organising cards.
I did this with a D ring binder which provides as much flexibility of storage as I want. Used a selection of Ultra Pro card pages and some coin collectors pockets - the 50mm ones hold upgrade cards and fighter bases quite nicely

Agreed will look into those.

Just placed an order on Amazon for those.

Hadn't seen this photo anywhere, just seemed appropriate for all of us


I want that carpet

My fleet in 2 weeks XD

2x Starter core Tie Fighters
2x Tie Interceptors
2x Tie Interceptor Imperial Aces
2x Tie Advance

question now is:
Should I get the Tie Defender/Phantom?

I linked that earlier... its become a really defining image for this game because it perfectly captures the experience every single one of us has had. :-p

Sorry, I found your old post, but it was a clickable link, I generally don't go through to most of those as they lead to some scary places sometimes.

Both! Twice!

Was that a trick question?

after trying out the phantom yesterday I am definitely inclined. Echo and his decloak variant is just too awesome.

ugh... and here i was trying to keep my purchases down lol

Phantom is great fun to fly... have not tried out my defenders yet, but cmon, they are too cool looking to pass up!

I've flown against both of those and, well, I'm not sure single models clocking in a 50-ish points are a good idea. Y-wings just ruin their whole day.

50?? Not neccesarily... and yes, turrets will ruin their day (probably)... but the phantom is the single most agile ship in the entire game, not to mention the punch it has... it may be a glass cannon but in a skilled players hands it's a hell of a glass cannon. The ship seems to be doing a little too well to be dismissed out of hand... after all, those y-wings would't be too happy if it was a swarm they came up against instead... you can counter the phantom but if you do you leave yourself open to something else, as with most other things in the game.

I dunno, instead of flying against, fly with and see what you think, you may find the phantom great fun and very deadly if you can out-fly your opponent...

I bought the core set when it came out, but only started collecting in earnest this summer.

Rebels:

X-wing: 3
Y-wing: 2
A-wing: 2
B-wing: 2
E-wing: 1
HWK-290: 1
Millennium Falcon: 1

Empire:

TIE/Ln: 5
TIE/In: 3
TIE/x1: 1
TIE/Def: 1
TIE/Bomber: 1
TIE/Phantom: 1
Firespray-31: 1
Lambda-class shuttle: 1

Been playing the core set with my bro inlaw and decided to take the plunge.

Picked up this today.

Rebels

1x X-Wing
1x B-Wing

Empire

2x TIE Fighters
1x TIE Defender

Played about 7 games today with a mate, loving it so far! Want to pick up a second core set for the extra ships and dice.

2 x X-Wing Starter Core Sets
4 x X-Wings
4 X TIE Fighters
1 x Falcon
1 x Imperial Aces Set
2 x A-Wings
2 x B-Wings
2 x TIE Bombers
2 x TIE Advanced

Well, after three months of being in this game:

3 core sets
1 imperial aces
1 yt-1300
1 y-wing
1 b-wing
1 e-wing
1 a-wing
1 z-95
3 more x-wing

1 more tie fighter
firespray
tie advanced
tie phantom x2
tie defender
lambda shuttle
1 more tie inteceptor

also picked up the two big ships so far. Picked alot of this up by trading away unbuilt NoS space marine stuff.

Currently I've got:

Rebels:

3 x X-Wings
1 x A-Wing
1 x Y-Wing
1 x HWK-290

Imperial:

5 x Tie Fighters
1 x Tie Interceptor
1 x Tie Advanced
1 x Tie Interceptor

My next plan is to bulk up the ships I have one of to smaller squadrons, so my next planned purchases are:

1 x A-Wing
1 x Y-Wing
2 x B-Wings
2 x Z-95

1 x Tie Interceptor
1 x Tie Phantom
1 x Tie Bombers

Then a large ship for each faction to act as a centerpiece. For the Rebels this will either be a Falcon or the YT-2400 and the VT-49 Decimator for the Imperials. The Lambda Shuttle holds no appeal to me and I'm saving Slave 1 for when I start collecting S&V.

I have started properly collecting very recently after having the core set for about a year. So far:

Rebels

2 x X Wings
1 x HWK 290
1 x E Wing


Imperial

3 x Tie Fighters
1 x Tie Interceptor
1 x Tie Phantom


Phantom came through the post last night along with a dice pack.
I plan on getting a B Wing, A Wing and YT-2400 for the rebels and a Tie Bomber, another Tie Fighter and the Decimator for the Imps next. After this I'll likely move onto the S&V.
Might throw in the aces box sets for both sides at some time too.

Like LuciusAR I have no real interest in the Imperial Shuttle and as for the Falcon I'll wing it. if I spot one in the future I'll see how I feel but I'm not going out of my way to pick one up.

Just went and inventoried my stuff, and after the last tournament I'm up to:

Rebels:
4 X-Wing
6 B-Wing
2 Y-Wing
4 A-Wing
2 E-Wing
5 Z-95 Headhunter
1 HWK-290
1 YT-1300
1 GR-75

Imperials:
5 TIE/Ln
6 TIE/Int
2 TIE Advanced
2 TIE Bomber
2 TIE Phantom
2 TIE Defender
2 Firespray 31
2 Shuttle


That includes my Rebel Aces preorder. Sure, mistakes have been made... But, I love them all!

with miniaturemarket.com having its deal of the day today on the Tantive IV, one could say mistakes were made


Also picked up a second transport they had it in the retail store for $30.00 because he bridge piece had broken off, a shot of superglue will fix that

So that's a total of
2core sets (models from this are added below)
2 transports
2 tantive IV
5x-wings
3b wings
1each of all other released rebels

5 ties
3interceptors (1reg, 2 from the imperial aces)
1 each of all other released imperials

And playmat. In the background you might notice the build of my trench run that's in progress.

As for mistakes made....20+ years of buying GW crap

Added one each of the wave 4 ships to my collection, plus a transport with escort X-wing.



So much money...

I jumped in... with a cannonball!

6 Tie Fighters
6 Bombers
6 Interceptors (3 blood-striped)
3 Royal Guard
3 Phantoms
2 Defenders
1 Advanced

Will add 2 Decimators when it's released next month

6 bombers? I've thought about doing a bomber army, but 6?

 RiTides wrote:

DANG. I'll say. Looks like a great fleet, RiTides. What made you go for Imps?

 Theophony wrote:

Hey, 6 naked Scimitar pilots is 96 points with a whopping 4 points left over to actually buy them stuff to shoot

I know that's not viable and that I'd only ever likely run 4 or 5, in a Bomber-heavy list, but I might try it once just for fun

Not just that but in larger games, especially against Rebel capital ships, bomber flights are super threatening.

 Manchu wrote:

I'm hoping more people around here prefer Rebels- the person who gave me a demo game greatly preferred playing them. And I like the Imperial ships a bit more, and they're bigger . They fit nicely in my Infinity battlefoam bag, too, which will now be half Infinity and half X-wing (previously it was half empty).

Great to hear about the bombers, that same Rebel player has two capital ships which look like juicy targets

I have been meaning to pick up three more bombers but the fringer faction announcement kind of took the wind from my sails on X-Wing. May recover as SW hype ramps up.

I'm enjoying the Decimator, but 2?!

hi everyone

ive only been collecting for less than 10 months

& my collection has really got out of hand lol

Seems like it'd be fun to try running two at some point, right? I'm a total noob at this so the answer may very well be "no", but that was my thought

Two decimators will be great fun. Not so different to the twin yt-1300 builds that were on the go for a while. Being the fine upstanding rebel I am, I'm looking forward to trying a falcon/outrider list.

No hate, but given your quantity of some ships, have you played high point swarm lists? Does the game bog down when played like that?

Not yet. I just did a big buy so I can do so at the LGS.............

EDIT

btw..... I am the original Star Wars fan. I skipped school to see the 1st film......

Haha yeah I love me some original space stuff (prequel ground stuff though). I'll likely join you with a larger X-Wing fleet if I get confirmation that the game doesn't bog down too badly.

... my 3 SW: Armadas on pre-order ... bring it on! If that counts:
- 3x VSD's
- 3x Neb B's
- 3x CR90's iirc
- 18 TIE squadrons?
- 12 X-Wing squadrons?

hi all

I keep all my ships (apart from the 2 large ships) in an under bed storage box
but with the rebel aces arriving this week.

all my ships wont fit anymore

so im now designing battle foam case for all my ships

& then there releasing scum & villainy

so many ships

You people are nutters. I'm impressed.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to find yourself with a huge collection.

I always try to buy SOMETHING when I spend a couple hours gaming at the FLGS... Just to support the place which hosted me for the last two/three hours...

At some point you start buying stuff you just don't "need".

Luckily, the wife and I have really taken to playing Epic. The game at 300pts, just feels more on a scale that reflects the movies, dog-fighting, and what we expect out table-top games to look like... and its FUN.

Once you start principally playing Epic... you suddenly don't feel so crazy owning 5-10 of a given ship. ;-)

Added Rebel Aces recently.

Picked up 2 sets of Rebel Aces and a 2nd Z-95 tonight.

Added 2x rebel aces...

In the last week I have picked up my first Y-Wing and Tie Bomber to add to my slowly growing collection.

3 x Tie Fighters
1 x Interceptor
1 x Phantom
1 X Bomber

2 x X-Wing
1 x E-Wing
1 x HWK
1 x Y-Wing

I just want a medium size ship for each side now and then I can put a little effort into the S&V when it is released.

I'm dying for the Decimator to be released so I can add a medium ship, too... it must be soon.

Second Rebel Aces added to go along side with the Y-Wing I finally managed to get from the W1 restock.

Thought it was time to do an updated list.

Rebels

7 X wings (including the transport repaint)
5 Z 95 headhunters
2 Y wings
3 HWK
5 B wings
3 E wings
4 A wings
1 YT1300

Some rather impressive collctions on here.

I've slightly upped my addiction to this game in the last few weeks.

Currently:

Rebels.
2 x X-Wings
1 x E-Wing
1 x Y-Wing
1 x Rebel Aces
1 x HWK 290

Empire.

I saw this thread pop up again and remembered I posted in here at the very beginning of my X-wing days with just my two TIE Fighters.

Today I now have:

7x TIE Fighters
2x Interceptors
1x TIE Advanced
1x Firespray
1x Lambda Shuttle
1x TIE Phantom
a VT-49 Decimator on it's way to me as we speak...

And much, much less money.

Rebels

2 X wings
1 Corvette (display piece more than anything)

Imperials

3 Fighters
3 Interceptors
1 Advanced
1 Lambda
1 Phantom (on the way)

And possibly 1 Defender & 1 Decimator on the yuletide horizon

Well it's been more than 6 months since this anniversary and this post was made but since people are still posting, thought I'd add to it:

Core set with
1 X-wing
2 TIE fighters
1 TIE defender
1 HWK 290
1 YT 1300
1 KSE Firespray 31

And a pre-order on the Most Wanted expansion I'll probably pick up a m-3a scyk, StarViper and an IG2000 Aggressor too

I need to pick up a regular TIE expansion for Howlrunner and some more rebel fighters like X-wings, A-wings, B-wings and maybe some E-wings/Rebel Z95s

I figured I've expanded enough to do an update on what I have after my couple months of playing.

Core Set
X-Wing
Rebel Transport X-Wing
Millennium Falcon
Outrider
Rebel Ace A-Wing
Y-Wing
Decimator
Shuttle
Tie Bomber
Imp Ace x2 (4 interceptors)
Tie Fighter

My fleet has not grown much for a while. I bought a Decimator and a YT-2400 but haven't had a chance to fly them yet. For S&V, I have the following on the way:

- 1x Star Viper
- 2x M-3A Interceptors
- 2x Y-Wings
- 4x Z-95s
- 2x Aggressors

Very new to x-wing. Loving it.

I have

1 Decimator
Slave 1
Tie fighter x 4
Tie advanced
Tie phantom
Tie defender
Lambda shuttle
Imperial aces

The guy who got me into the game 3 months ago has everything for rebels, and multiples on several ships.... He is as new as I am, but getting obsessed (in a good way) with this awesome game
