Anyone got an email address for Wizkids Customer Support. I have a wonky headed RIS Apnex and want to make some enquiries about directly purchasing more pegs for the flying bases.

Also, you won't be able to purchase pegs from them either... They don't sell individual parts, you'll have to buy more ships.

well just started this game, as now it is played alongside the 40k fantasy warmahordes at our tourney...


friggen AWESOME!

I love the dial "poker bluff" moving, really puts strategy into it,

my first game was all it took to get me up to speed,

2nd game I was doing decently against good players and actually won due to pure luck (he whiffed all 5 def dice and blew up) then I got a crit through his cloaked ship, warp core breach, then he rolled crit next turn and *BOOOM*

3rd game i was really getting the hang of it and shot a large klingon fleer out of the sky.


someone was nice enough to let me borrow all their minis and cards ect for it, played dominion and really liked what they could do.

Its also nice to be giving all the federation players someone to play who isnt federation lol.


this game is pickin gup steam really quickly by the sounds of it, and its a lot of fun.


only thing is, are some of the cards basically impossoble to get now?

my only complaint would be a "haha I have the best card that you cant get" being too much of an advantage, but maybe there is a card booster or somthing I cant find.

There is no card booster for this game, all of the cards come with the ships. Some people might have better cards that came with the Organized play prizes. Currently, the Prizes out there now are

Krayton (Ferengi)
I.K.S. Ch'tang (Klingon B'rel Class)
P.W.B Aj'myr (Romulan D'deridex Class)
U.S.S Sutherland (Federation Nebula Class)
and Month 5 should be the new Breen Battle Cruiser.

oh... so if you want khan, you have to buy the reliant (might be wrong on the ship) then?

any other decent independants to look at besides khan?

Yup, Khan comes with the Reliant, but there is also a GenKhan (released at Gen Con by WizKids when demoing the game). Most independent faction cards come in the Reliant booster except Cyrano Jones and his tribbles which came with the D7 (not to get confused with the Kronos One).

Looks like Wizkids spoiled the Borg Sphere card on Twitter tonight, looks to be 6 attack, 0 evade, 7 hull and 7 Shields, 2 new upgrade icons, and a new action icon, 360 Firing Arc, 40 points.

The scary thing is that you can take sphere 4270 a generic shpere and still have 22 points for upgrades

There is also a tease pic of some kind of weapon that is range 1 and 10 attacks. All the pic shows is the range and attack value. Anyone that was worried about the borg being limited with only one ship at the start of the next OP can rest at ease.

Wow, good thing I bought another starter box for more dice recently, LMAO

borg are going to be awesome, lots of counters to the federation me thinks IE no more fed havin the best ships, and I am assuming theat borg picard will counter picard!

at least I hope!

It's a little early for speculation considering that the Borg mainly adapt and react I would expect them to have lower captain skills with really good passive abilities and be the best upgrade stealers in the game.

There is also a picture floating around, from the Wizkids twitter page I believe, it shows a side view of the voyager package and it looks twice as thick as the regular expansions. It is packed with 5 or 6 cardboard sheets worth of tokens. I for one can't wait to see what all those goodies are.

I think it was actually the Wizkids Facebook page for the voyager pic, lol.

Can you guys post some pics?

It breaks the 2pt for every attribute point rule- I guess it isn't a rule!

Cool, thanks. Keep posting pics. I'm just lurking in the background hoping to see pictures of tiny little spaceships.

No it doesn't, it has 20pts of attributes

I thought the six attack was eight attack!

It looks like a 6 to me and that would fit in with the points system 6+0+7+7=20 then 2x20=40.

On a brighter note today wizkids released an update to the admirals orders.

(http://wizkidsgames.com/blog/2014/02/03/star-trek-attack-wing-admirals-order-update-2314/)

Looks like there will not be any new ones for a while and for any TO that will be allowing Wizkids has updated admirals orders reference card so ONLY ONE can be used at a time. Wizkids also advised that TOs and store owners only allow the current orders "occasionally". The use of "occasionally" irritates me a little. Why not just say they are disbanded for now? It is a very vague statement. The only thing I can think is that because wizkids originally said the orders were extended through February and only allowing one order at a time will help curb some of the problems with them for that month. After February, it sounds that they are not to be used at all.

Makes sense. It definitely makes it less good than i thought it was going to be. The Admiral's Orders were a good idea in theory, but obviously hadn't really been playtested too much.

My repaint on the Jem Hadar attack ship. I ended up re doing the whole colour scheme, as purple ship plating doesnt really fit... and its not like that in the CGIs for film, so here is how I envisioned it. base coat is dark grey, dry brush + high light a few layers of lighter grey on the hull, then I picked out the details with red/yellow paint, and some with the really fine graphing markers. for the power glow areas I started with a deep purple and applied lighter and lighter shades of purples/pink while the paint was really watery to give a nice flourecent look to it. finally some super shiney martha stewart gloss on the warp coil bits/phasorbanks/lights and I feel like it is now a ship worthy of the drug fueled genetically enhanced clone peon army of Jem Hadar.

That looks awesome. How well does the Martha Stewart gloss compare to GW gloss varnish? Does it work well with acrylic paint?

I need some input.

Being a long time dakka troller (don't post often) since I primarily play 40k, I ran into the X-Wing section. Picked up some X-Wing stuff and loved it.

Noticed the Star Trek section. I'm a huge Star Trek fan. The ships I've seen look great. Scale doesn't matter since I know how large they truly are compared to each other.

That being said. I looked at some of the stats for the ships. Are they comparable to the capabilities of the ships on the show...or are there cases where a small B'rel bird of prey can smoke a Nebula class starship?

I guess the question is...are the ships close enough to show accurate or balanced for game mechanics?

Any ship can get lucky and kill another ship (thanks to Warp Core breaches)
Most ships 'seem' right but the b'rel seems too well armed, whilst the d'deridex is undergunned

Agreed the D'deridex is under gunned, the B'Rel is a little beefy, but its big guns are a little balanced by its week hull. That being said a B'rel is an OP prize for now so not a ton of them flying around, and it can't one shot a Nebula on its own. The BoP for retail sale is the Kavort which is probably the best well rounded ship in the game right now.

I'm surprised the B'rel isn't agility 2. Also very surprised the k'vort has hull 5.

Why are you surprised the K'Vort is hull 5? It's a battlecruiser... About the same size as a Galaxy Class' saucer section... The K'Vort class was also featured on the TNG episodes "Yesterday's Enterprise" attacking the D and C...

The only problem with giving the B'rel 2 agility is that it would become 22 points and make the k'tinga class worthless. Or if you moved a point of attack to agility to keeps its points the same the D7 becomes more worthless than it is now. So it kinda has to stay where it is at to kive the other ships a place to shine.

I am ok with the kavort the way it is, it gives a nice middle ground between the little and big ships.

Well, finished the whole Jem Hadar attack wing in time for OP 5, hope you all enjoy them!

Nice looking Jem H'dar fleet there They look like they are waiting for that battle ship to drop.


So how are you all dealing with the delay on wave 3. I am really waiting for the Equinox & Gal gathong definitely going to pick up 2 of each. The battle ship and Somraw I am not over the moon for. The Somraw might be the first expansion I only get one of, just not much use for it when you already have D7s.

How about you guys, what are you looking forward to the most in the next wave? Myself I see so many good things for the Romulans and Equinox has some nice goodies in it.

oh god... am I ever waiting for that 4th wing battle ship


OP 5 I really felt the lack of jem hadar ships, as their fighters really need a larger dreadnaught class to support instead of the picket ships offered by cardassian/breen combos.
