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...

Truly terrifying,

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
- 2x YT-2400
- 1x CR90
- 4 E-Wings
- 6 Z-95

Imperials

- 10x TIE Fighters
- 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 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.
