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?

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

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.

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?!

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

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.
