Yeah, I still get new GW from them when I'm inclined, but I'm less excited to do so than I once was. Some stuff is actually cheaper or about the same locally in some circumstances (Combat Company's 20% for things like WraithKnights, Wraithguard, Imperial Knights, etc, I also use eBay and other sources these days. WAU is pretty decent sometimes.

I actually get a fair bit of FFG stuff via Book Depository. They probably won't have these games up for some time, but I'll look into it then, and hopefully DGS' discount won't have dropped by too much, and I'll pay for it then.

Topic, gents.

Just reposting this link as it got buried and isn't easily findable in Google... best pics of the Armada ships I've found anywhere:

LN's, Interceptors, Advanceds and Bombers? I thought it was only LN's, very happy! Also 4 types for Rebs. Or is it only basic fighters in the starter? Those pics show some great detail on them too which is great, looking forward to painting them.

... I've placed my order for 3 starters and 1 for a mate hehe.

I put in my pre-order on Miniature Market to go with 2 PHR Dropzone starters. Waiting on the rest of these amazing ships to go up on pre-order to order at least 1 of each fighter pack, the assault frigate, the gladiator, another destroyer, another frigate, and another corvette. Should give me two decent fleets out the gate

And I was so sad, I thought there might be more news. But I do love those pictures.

The squadrons of Advanceds bug me to no end though.

I know bugger all about the Star Wars EU, but while they were very rare it seems as though they were fielded in small numbers together occasionally. "Storm Squadron had several TIE/Advanced starfighters among the ships at its disposal." for example. It probably shouldn't be represented on the tabletop and there's no real need to with all the other possible fighters though yeah.

Cut notches in the wings and say they're TIE Avengers?

Yeah, they should haev been avengers or defenders, not advances. But oh well. Everything else is still pretty

Armada Expansion Ships & Prices

http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite_sec.asp?eidm=270&esem=2&esum=270

Ugh those prices are so steep though

Pretty much what I expected honestly. $190 for all the expansions. $100 for the starter. $300 all told for two fleets. Less if your just in it for one or the other. Basically $200 after discounters. Not to shabby really. Not cheap but not to bad.

To be fair, the ships are pretty big. The Victory is almost bigger than the Decimator from X-wing.

Wave 1 released May 15
Steady....steady... Stay on Target

Huh, weird. Ive had my wave 1 stuff for a week now. 2x of each fighter pack, 2x gladiators, 2x assault frigates, and 1x of each starter ship

Most stores got it Tuesday. My first shipment of stuff is coming today and the other (the extra fighters and gladiators) will show up on Monday/Tuesday

Yeah, our store got it yesterday, there was quite the extravaganza of buying and building last night, I think there was only one Victory, a Neb, and an Imperial fighter pack left on the shelf at closing...

So loving all the toys. Little bit disappointed in the painting of the assault frigate but I don't see myself using that one much anyway so not a huge deal. Just super excited to get a few games in with bigger fleets.

I like the scale they've chosen for this. Really works for me visually.

Picked up my Wave 1 from the local store on Thursday (they had given 25% off for preordering through the store, which was very nice!)

Promptly made these that evening, for those who might not have seen them
