Got a bit of catching up to do as we haven't done any of the wave 8 previews yet.
First up, the TIE heavy - https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2020/9/16/fury-of-the-empire/
Its one ugly looking beast.






Next, the Resistance aces pack - https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2020/9/23/fight-to-the-finish/










Will do the Actis later.

That TIE Heavy looks silly. Interested in giving it a try though.

The prettiest ship in the galaxy, the ETA2 Actis - https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2020/10/7/push-the-limit/








Looks very good, though fragile (and probably really expensive). Worth noting that the hyperspace ring is not going to be legal in either extended or hyperspace formats and can be used with either Jedi fighter and the V-Wing.

I must disagree, the TIE Interceptor is still by far the prettiest ship in the galaxy.

Kimogila is the best looking. But yeah, excited for the Resistance stuff.

You are all mad.

Looks interesting, guess it will be in the mid 30s for points so very spamable.

It's a real shame R7A7 is republic only. Still see him+marksmanship being really fun.

Good to see the Oprah missile is back.

Hah! That is perfect, "You get a Target Lock, and you get a Target Lock!".

Picked up the Tie Heavy from the FLGS today, and go to the squad builder ... and it's not listed there. Anyone know when they're going to put the points up so we can play with our new toys?

Points are up on yet another squad builder and the pdf through ffg.

Wish these were slightly more affordable in the U.K.

The models and paint jobs are universally gorgeous, and look great on display. But by the time you factor in the necessary gaming bits and bobs, I just can’t :(

False transponder codes is going to be fun with Torani
